Wade was overturned. At 14 years old, I was too young to cast a vote for or against the politicians in Florida who would go on to severely restrict access to abortion. Yet I was old enough to bear the life-altering consequences of their decisions.<br><br>In Florida, abortion is now banned at six weeks of pregnancy, a decision that was made only 10 months after Roe was overturned.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3388505 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3388505\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-c0e995e-86eedb6 e-paragraph-base\" data-interaction-id=\"c0e995e\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"c0e995e\">This restriction is already harmful enough. But as a teenager under the age of 18, I, and millions of my peers, had an added barrier to receiving reproductive healthcare: Florida\u2019s parental consent laws. <br><br>Even during the legal six-week timeframe, a minor can only obtain an abortion in Florida (as well as prescription birth control and STI treatment, in many cases) if a parent gives their written permission.<br><br>While it sounds innocent enough, this system is completely backward.<br><br>A big portion of the reasoning behind Florida\u2019s parental consent requirement is that minors are apparently not mature enough to decide whether to keep a pregnancy. Even a minor that is 17 and 11 months old is still \u201cnot mature enough\u201d to have that choice for another month.<br><br>Yet, a minor is considered mature enough to become a parent, to go through labor and childbirth, and to financially and emotionally care for and make daily decisions about a child.<br><br>Suddenly, the concern about whether a teen is responsible enough is gone.<br><br>It seems the state only trusts teens with the fallout of pregnancy, not the choice to be pregnant. Instead, that life-changing decision is left in the hands of parents or guardians, who may or may not be willing and able to be involved in that conversation.<br><br>Whether that be due to some teens having a strained or nonexistent relationship with their guardians, fear of abuse or coercion, parents away on vacation, or even a desire for normalcy within family dynamics, some teens simply can\u2019t or don\u2019t feel comfortable involving a guardian in the conversation.<br><br>Any of these barriers can prevent teens from receiving the care that is right and safe for their bodies. Instead, it can lead to dangerous, even life-threatening outcomes.<br><br>Ideally, all teens could talk to their parents about these decisions. And while most people my age do feel comfortable doing so, not every teen has this privilege. In cases like these, patient safety should be the number one priority. But parental consent laws ignore this, hurting those in less-than-ideal situations the most.<br><br>The reality is that individuals, including teens, know their situation the best, not politicians. Young folks should be trusted with the ability to decide who they want to talk to for guidance and support, and to make the decision that\u2019s best for their own body and future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/2026\/09\/13\/guest-commentary-i-was-a-high-schooler-when-roe-v-wade-fell\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"e-83cdfcc-fd4aba5 e-button-base\" data-interaction-id=\"83cdfcc\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"83cdfcc\">\n\t\tRead on the Orlando Sentinel.\n\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05fa0d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"05fa0d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\"><i>\"If teenagers are old enough to have their education, health and future completely reshaped by pregnancy, they are also old enough to decide whether that is a future they are ready for.\"<\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta elementor-has-image elementor-testimonial-image-position-aside\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/floridareprofreedom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Progress-Florida.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4595\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floridareprofreedom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Progress-Florida.png 750w, https:\/\/floridareprofreedom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Progress-Florida-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/floridareprofreedom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Progress-Florida-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/floridareprofreedom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Progress-Florida-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-name\">Ashley Rini<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-job\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: small;white-space: normal\">Ashley is a recent high school graduate from Orlando and a reproductive rights advocate.<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: small;white-space: normal\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a Guest Commentary for the Orlando Sentinel, Ashley reflects on abortion restrictions in Florida and the added challenges for teens.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I was a high schooler when Roe v.
