Question
what about the kids that had unsafe sex and then when they get pregnant they want an abortion do you still find it right that it is only a way out for the ones that do something dumb and are not willing to take resonsability for there actions?

Answer
Hi Fernando :)

Yes, I find it right. This is my opinion, by the way, so I apologize if I offend you in any way, I'm not trying to do so.

Many, many kids aren't taught safe sex. Abstinence, and that's it. They're told false facts about condoms and birth control. And for those who are taught about it, many aren't using it. Some girls don't want to go to their parents about birth control, guys don't want to buy condoms. If they don't have the info, they're going to have unsafe sex, and pregnancies occur.

I see abortion as taking responsibility. Teen girls raising babies? Not my idea of a good thing. Pregnancy is very hard on a female's body, and at times the mind, let alone one that hasn't yet gone through all it's changes. By getting an abortion, which is no easy process in itself (although a lot safer than continuing the pregnancy), if she can get one at all, she is assuring that she will be able to take care of herself.

In my opinion, teen parenting is not the greatest thing. The mother usually will drop out of school, and if not, school will be harder and so will a social life--there goes being a kid. And the kids themselves that are born? Some probably aren't receiving great care. Having a newborn is very, very trying on parents, let alone ones that have yet to fully mature, which could lead to abuse and neglect.

I have no problem when a teen does keep the pregnancy, but only if she will be well cared for as will the baby. Most teens can't afford to raise a kid, and I do see the option of abortion as the best decision for the girl and the embryo, if that's what she chooses.
