In the United States anyone who wants to adopt a child must be at least 21 years of age to ensure they are mature enough to care for a child.
Why then is it OK to mandate that a woman possibly 13 or younger must
carry a baby for 9 months and give birth, even from a pregnancy that was the result of rape or incest?
I really need an explanation of how this makes sense.
