Very simple, there are many, many cases where parents have either physically assaulted and/or thrown their minor children out of their homes for the unforgivable sin of pre-marital sex.

It still happens, even today.

re: #661 A Mom Anon

Sadly there are parents out there that would disown a daughter who came home and said she was pregnant. There are others that would force her to keep the baby. Others that would beat the shit out of her and there are others who sexually abuse their children. It would be nice if every pregnant teen had compassionate family support,but that’s not the reality.

Thanks for the responses, guys. Still trying to reconcile this in my head with what I think a parent’s rights are.
