Should parental consent be required for underage pregnant women to have abortions?

No.
Although, when I think about it it's actually kinda tricky. Hmm...

No. If you're old enough to make the mistake, you shouldn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops and red tape.
It would increase the numbers of back alley abortions, many girls are sometimes uncomfortable about telling parents. that by itself would be good to me

I agree.
I know many girls who would have been kicked out of their homes if their parents found out. They were scared of not only the abortion but also letting their parents down if they found out. That fear would have driven them to back-alley abortions if parental consent was law.

Parental consent shouldn’t be law
Some parents would deny consent because of there religion and then force the girl to take care of the baby while still going to school, which would lower her grades as she wouldn’t be ably to study. Or they would make her drop out to care for it. Some people would actually do this to there kid before letting an abortion happen.
Your parents’ shouldn’t have the power to ruin your life

I would say if you're 16 or older, you should be able to get one without your parents' consent.
But under 16? Under 16, you basically belong to your parents. So their consent is needed.
And even if you have the baby, you can put it up for adoption (which should be the mother's choice no matter what age). Our orphanages aren't really full... It's always a sad thing to give a child up for adoption, but sometimes it's necessary.
Besides, let gay people adopt kids and the problem can be fixed pretty easily.
