Depending on the State in which you live the answer is yes.
Most of the States consider women at the age of 17 adults while males are not considered and adult until 18. You will find most States allow women at the age of 17 to marry without the parents consent. I would suggest you check your local and state laws for the State in which you live.
I hope this helps.

Emancipated means that even though you are under 18, a judge views that you can be treated like an adult in most cases, especially where the person wants to live (which is often somewhere besides the original guardian), handling contracts and skirting the child welfare laws..

Emancipation is not a consideration it is a legal finding by a court of law. She must be declared an emancipated teenager. Pregnancy while it may be a part of the factual findings is not sufficient causation for the declaration.

e·man·ci·pate
tr.v. e·man·ci·pat·ed, e·man·ci·pat·ing, e·man·ci·pates
1. To free from bondage, oppression, or restraint; liberate.
2. Law To release (a child) from the control of parents or a guardian.
If she is about to become a mother, she will, hopefully bond with her child, sometimes feel oppressed by motherhood, feel restrained by the obligations it imposes and will not be free of them for at least another 16 years.
She will probably depend heavily on her parents to help her continue her schooling and to get a start in life - more so than if she had taken precautions not to become pregnant.
By definition, that is not 'emancipated'.

It truly depends on your state law. In some states girls at seventeen are considered adults.
can contact a social worker in your local county even and they would be able to give you the plain and simples for your area.
Sometimes per case standings (depending on your own personal situation) you could already be considered legally responsible for your self.

Neither. She is seen an grownup whilst she reaches the age of majority that's 18 on your/her state. the innovations that she is legally allowed to make whilst the youngster is born will selection from state to state, yet are often limited to hers and the youngster's well being care.

If she is emancipated, sure. Pregnancy itself rarely emancipates.
Look up the definition in your state.
