---I believe absolutely and totally in NO gvnmnt interference. That is, the gvnmnt should take NO part in this problem which is a family matter. The girl should get her abortion (assuming she wants it) by subterfuge, which would be easy enough.

What if her parents lock her up or otherwise try to physically prevent her from having an abortion? Such an attempt would be very difficult but if they are determed enough it may be possible.

Yes, I would prefer a form of vigilantee-ism whereby people who know + love the children in question took matters into their own hands.

I agree with you that government intervention in this area is often sloppy, heavy handed and counter productive sometime even horrific. However if you let private individuals intervene without the sanction of government you run in to all sorts of difuculties. Lets say my brother in law was abuseing my neice and my sister would not do anything about it, so I try to rescue her. My sister or brother in law might then call the cops because I am kidnaping their daughter, or they may foricibly resist the rescue attempt potentially resulting in people getting hurt or even killed.
I agree with you that there often is no good solution.
