Sapphire is right, in my opinion, to taking more responsibility to where you stick your wanger, however, hormones are not famed for being reasonable or responsible, the human race comes with a built in drive to 'make babies'.
Sharon wouldn't have an abortion if an accident happened, and I respect that choice and would, obviously, support it, even though I have no particular wish to be a father, should a child come along, I would try to e the best father I could, but I think the problem does not lay with people of my age, it lay with teenage pregnancies etc. A girl or boy goes out with his mates, gets a bit drunk etc etc, and the next thing they know, they are going to be a parent, and they are neither phsycologically nor financially prepared.
Yes, reponsibility is required, but to attempt to apply the same ethics to people who are flooded with Testoserone, who feel constantly pressured to 'prove' their sexuality, and who are fighting against a bodily 'demand' that is, from a species point of view, a matter of life AND death is difficult.
I think the option should be available, but, as in Holland, where possible, every care is taken to make sure there are no other options available to the person involved.
Doctors don't actually like performing abortions too often, it damages the womb, and always carries a possiblity of rendering the woman infertile. I think this is not common enough knowledge, and that an attitude of 'An Alternative to the Pill' can be adopted by girls. But then choosing to have your child killed is far from an easy decision to make.
I suppose my concern in that respect is that the decisions on the laws regarding Abortion are being made by groups that consist predominately of malesand women who have never been in desperate enough a situation to see abortion as their only option.
