well i think cos she is 17 her parents cant force her to do anything. but because it is in America they probably can.
AnswerAlthough a 17 years old is not considered to be the legal age of majority, which in CA. is 18, that does not exclude her from executing her rights pertaining to her child. Some of those include, full custody (until/unless challenged by the biological father), the right to consent to any medical or health services, the right to partake in any religious ceremony (such as a christening) and so forth.The minor's parents cannot force her to have an abortion, place the child for adoption or relinquish her parental rights. If the mother finds herself in need of public aid (such as medicaid, WWIC, housing, etc); she can with the help of state social services, petition the court for emancipation status in order to receive aforementioned assistance.Pregnant teenagers in California are not automatically emancipated. Emancipation is a legal process that grants teenagers the rights of an adult before they reach the age of majority. Being pregnant does not automatically result in emancipation. Teenagers must go through a separate legal process to be emancipated in California.

If you live in the US, your rights in this regard can be summed up in one word--none. Being pregnant and/or having a child, does not give a minor any adult rights. You are merely a pregnant minor and you are still subject to the control and authority of your parents.

No, you are not emancipated automatically when you are pregnant. It does not mean one has the ability to take care of yourself. You do have certain rights as to obtaining assistance for you and your child, but you are still the responsibility of your parents until you turn 18.
You were emancipated by the marriage so you have the rights like an adult.
