parental consent for abortions

I do not think that parental consent should be required. I think this because even if the patients relationship with there parents is not abusive it can become abusive if the parents have strong enough feelings about abortion. Also if the parents have strong feelings in opposition to abortion they might ignore a situation where an abortion is necessary, such as if a 12 year old was pregnant. This could result in the the death of the patient and her unborn but fully developed child.
