I completely understand why they phrased the amendment the way they did. The right did extend minors before. Generally, parental consent doesn’t override a constitutional right. I also get circumstances where parents may be the abusers.

But… at 57%, it’s close but a few people need to swing. Getting that 3% to swing might require having the amendment only applicable to legal adults and not to minors. Get what we can now, and fight for better afterwards.
