To complement her approach, I contend consistency require if minors involuntary pregnancy labor, then should enfranchise minors. We lowered voting age 18 on grounds military conscripts were ‘old enough fight’, they vote’. Abortion restrictions conscript bodily intrusions, major life disruptions, responsibility over death decisions. Old carry; old vote.
