What is best for their health is to give their parents the knowledge they need to protect them from themselves.

At 13 year old having sex is clearly demonstrating they lack the awareness, judgement, and ability to make decisions necessary to keep themselves safe, and do not possess the ability to do things with any regard for their own well being.  A child making that stupid of a decision does not have the rational intelligence necessary to take care of herself should she develop and STD or complications from an abortion.  These are decisions that affect the rest of her life, and a kid who is deemed too young by the law to tattoo her own body, drive a car, take her own tylenol or midol at school or sign herself out of school on a whim, along with a whole host of other things, does not have the ability or maturity to free reign manage her own sex life.  Additionally, if they are having sex at 13 they are more likely than not being taken advantage of by someone who does not have their best interest in mind.

Surely that depends on the particular child's particular parents?[/quote]

For the vast majority of children.[/quote]
