Question: Does a minor have the right, when pregnant, to keep the baby against parental consent?
Answer: In Arizona, the parents of a pregnant minor cannot legally force their child to have an abortion. If the minor chooses to give birth and not place the baby with adoptive parents, the minor's parents are NOT legally obligated to support the baby. If the minor and the baby's father and any other willing relatives cannot or will not support or care for the baby, the government may step in. This could result in the baby becoming Dependent. Some Dependent children live with birth parents or other relatives but are subject to government monitoring. Other Dependent babies are placed in foster care.

My mom told me that if I get pregnant before I am 18 years old that she would force me to have an abortion, can she really force me to have an abortion if I don't want one?

I will have to disagree with you. I think the kid should have all rights it's there baby and the parents don't have to support it they can make their kids get jobs. I mean if you had a car and still live with your parents and they need money would you like it if tjey sold your car?
