As everyone else has said the answer is no. Unless you are under 18 and it is a medically neccessary procedure (for example they could 'force' you to have your appendix removed if your life was at risk)
Here is some info if you need to convince them (or someone else).
Best of luck.

No, they can't.
Sweetie, whether you like it or not, your "boyfriend" is a child molester. You are 15. He is 24 ... not 17 or 18.
The fact that you are defining your adulthood and defending him because you are a "C cup" is warped thinking. Age and maturity make you a woman ... not the size of your breasts.
10 years from now, you are going to wish you could travel back in time and slap some sense into yourself.
No matter what you think or what he is telling you, he doesn't give a damn about you. If he did, he would have waited until you were older to have sex with you and he never would have gotten you pregnant and ruined your life and your future.

nope! I know a lady who tried but when they were at the clinic, the nurse asks whether or not u are doing it of ur own free will or whatever and the daughter said no, she didn't want it to be done. so, it wasn't done and she's now a mother at 14. I was a young mother 15preg 16birth and my second at 18. In no way is it easy or will it ever be easy. I was and always have been the sole guardian, caretaker, the whole thing a true full-time mother and u have to sacrifice soooo much! Even now at 34 years old w/ two teenagers it only seems to get harder. My daughter is now 17 soon to be 18 is the mother of a 4 month old daughter herself despite seeing me struggle and all of the talking i tried to do and even going to get her birth control prescription for her every month she still ended up pregnant. My son is 16 soon to be 17 and only the lord knows why i haven't actually broken the law by strangling his ***. Children need to listen to their parents or at least someone who has been there and done that already and actually hear what is being said to them. Parents don't want u to go through all of the crap that us parents do have to go through. Having children is NOT something to be taken lightly! u are only 15 soon to be 16 just like i was and trust me honey think harder about why u wan't to make WHATEVER choice u choose to make. u can im me if u EVER want to talk about anything. At this moment i wish i could just poof be gone like in the calgon commercials; but, that's not my reality so i have to hold on for at least till my son is 18. and even then it does not stop there. my im username is kaffyway@yahoo

Have your mother and father even sat down with you and had a talk about all the options that you have to face and what you are really getting into as a parent of a child that since you are yourself just a teen? Maybe for right now just the shock of all this everyone is so upset they cannot make a rational decision.. Why not give it a little time before anyone does make a decision. and get all the facts together .. They may just be as upset as you are and jumped the gun on the matter... sit down and talk to them or someone that you can talk to . not just another friend that you call a friend but some adult that can give you all the options that you have before you make a decision of this nature.
Its a choice think long and hard and try to get with your parents to sit down and actually talk about all options first before you do anything....
Good luck
God bless........

No they cannot. As far as I know, as soon as you become pregnant, you are no longer considered a minor in the sense that you are automatically emancipated. This is due to the fact that you now have a dependant whom you are legally responsible.
You could technically move out of the house, drop out of school, get a full time job, and sign contracts.

No honey they cannot-but do think about the baby that you will bring into this world at such a young age yourself! Your baby deserves a good life and so do you-so don't forget you have alot of other options-besides is your boyfriend going to stay with even after the baby gets here?How old is he-and what does he truly feel about the situation? Remember your only 16-Good luck and I will pray for you and your baby.

I don't believe they can but my memory on consent is a little fuzzy right now. The best advice I can give you would be to contact a place like Planned Parenthood and ask them. They would be able to give you good information on the consent laws in your state. They also would be able to get you information on support for during your pregnancy.
The other thing to keep in mind is that typically doctors require consent from patients prior to treatment. If you don't want an abortion make it clear to your physician that it is not an option for you. Regardless of what your parents want if you are old enough to articulate your feelings to your medical care provider I doubt that they will want to preform a procedure you don't want. Regardless of whether your parents want you to have one.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

The parents usually makes the decision cause you are a minor. Now yu and your parents should talks things over and come to an agreement regarding the abortion.

They sure will try, if they believe in abortion. But no you are in control of your body in that way.
Don't let them tell u otherwise. If they do abuse you call the authorities because I was 17 and let my mother force me to get an abortion and she made me pay for it. I was so scared of her at the clinic they asked me in private did I want it and I said yes. Don't feel pressured by your parents because you will be the one to have to endure the pain of one. It stays with you your whole life. I had to get couseling afterwards. Good luck and keep your head up you will be okay. Raising a child is hard work being so young but you can do it.
You could also get yourself emanicpated.

No. It should be easy for a friend of yours to seek a court order to bring you before the judge and present your views, and then -- at your request and once s/he's spoken to you -- to issue a permanent injunction.
There's a recent case of a kidnapping by parents of their daughter in Maine, with that in mind. The daughter managed to call for help and her parents were arrested. See CNN article below.
