Someone in the letters to the editor in the AJC today made a damn good point about yesterday's Supreme Court decision to not allow people convicted under 18 to be executed. If someone under 18 cannot be held responsible for their crimes because they are too young to be able to make a proper decision, then they are also too young to make the decision to have an abortion. Both huge, life-altering decisions, yet the law says someone under 18 is competent enough to end a human life, but at the same time cannot be held responsible for ending a human life. That makes no sense. Either people under 18 can have abortions, be executed, drink, drive, etc., or they cannot. They are either competent enough to make big decisions, or they aren't. Considering how our society coddles young people, maybe they aren't, but please remember that for most of human history an 18 year old was an adult, married with children in many societies.
