The age of 21 to drink alcohol was picked because It's a reward for those who made it through 3 years of college and they will need large amounts of alcohol to get through their final year.

If whoever wanted to get it right, adulthood should be set at age 25 when the brain fully develops and your reasoning moves from the frontal lobe to where it's supposed to be.

Having people not reach "adulthood" for the first 25 of their 80 years would be absurd. That means for almost a full third of their life, they wouldn't be able to legally make decisions for themselves, or have a legal voice in any election or political process.

Always thought it was damned goofy that you could drive a 3,000 pound death machine at 15, drive it solo at 16, die for your country at 17... but couldn't vote until you were 18, and couldn't drink a beer until you were 21.

25 is the exact opposite direction that the number needs to go.

As for the original story.. well, she got the abortion, so there's no potential US citizen in her anymore. Time for her to get deported since she's an admitted illegal that the courts know about. Right?
