text: Just an observation: I noticed that the states with the greatest percentage of fundamentalist  Christian groups that are concerned  about a woman's right to choose, and about the age at which this right and be employed, are the same   States that, when I was a young man all had the lowest ages of consent for marriage! In  several of these states, girls used to be allowed to get married at age 13 !!   You could also work full-time at 13 or 14, and in some could get drivers license is at 13 or 14. It's curious that these are the  States and demographic groups so set on enforcing parental rights over children's rights.
