The greatest danger, however, is to the pelvic floor. Girls may start ovulating and menstruating as early as age 9, though the average is around 12 to 13. (Some studies suggest that the average age of first menstruation is dropping, but the data is not conclusive.) Just because a girl can get pregnant, though, doesn't mean she can safely deliver a baby. The pelvis does not fully widen until the late teens, meaning that young girls may not be able to push the baby through the birth canal.
The results are horrific, said Wall and Thomas, who have both worked in Africa treating women in the aftermath of such labors. Girls may labor for days; many die. Their babies often don't survive labor either.

As growth tends to slow in girls once menstruation starts, a 10-year-old capable of getting pregnant is likely to be especially small, with a small pelvis, Wall said. And even if puberty onset is happening earlier (Wall isn't entirely convinced by the current data), pelvises are certainly not maturing any faster, he said. If puberty does occur earlier, that would put young girls at risk for dangerous pregnancies for a longer period of time.

@redrick8900 On the basis of elements such as these, appellant and some amici argue that the woman's right is absolute and that she is entitled to terminate her.pregnancy at whatever time, in whatever way, and for whatever reason she alone chooses. With this we do not agree. Appellant's arguments that.Texas either has no valid interest at all in regulating the abortion decision, or no interest strong enough to support any limitation upon the woman's sole determination, are unpersuasive. The Court's decisions recognizing a right of privacy also acknowledge that some state regulation in areas protected by that right is appropriate. As noted above, a State may properly assert important interests in safeguarding health, in maintaining medical standards, and in protecting potential life. At some point in pregnancy, these respective interests become sufficiently compelling to sustain regulation of the factors that govern the abortion decision. The privacy right involved, therefore, cannot be said to be absolute. In fact, it is not clear to us that the claim asserted by some amici that one has an unlimited right to do with one's body as one pleases bears a close relationship to the right of privacy previously articulated in the Court's decisions. The Court has refused to recognize an unlimited right of this kind in the past. Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U. S. 11 (1905) (vaccination); Buck v. Bell, 274 U. S. 200 (1927)
(sterilization).
We, therefore, conclude that the right of personal privacy includes the abortion decision, but that this right is not unqualified and must be considered against important state interests in regulation.

@burtonmatterhorn It’s really quite alarming that you say a 10 year old can have a perfectly healthy pregnancy, simply so you can point at the law and say it’s bad.

@burtonmatterhorn No, you’re missing he point again. Is 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 years old considered late teens? No it is not. There is objective medical data substantiating the risk of adolescent pregnancies. Objective means is not my opinion, or your opinion, or even a doctor opinion. It means it’s true no matter your feelings or political affiliation.
But you’re probably right. Pro-choice doctors “didn’t want to risk” their medical license. Because like most on the left, they are selfish and concerned with their own situation rather than the well being of a ten year old. Plus, you can just go to Indian and make a national story out of it for political theater.
Once again, it’s not a conspiracy theory that media outlets gaslight and parrot misinformation for their preferred political party. Left or right doesn’t matter. They have all been doing it for the past five years or so. Where have you been?

@burtonmatterhorn Here... try reading this again. Maybe then you’ll understand it’s not my subjective opinion.
