Kevinrats,

Sorry but it is MY BODY! And until you can experience the "joy" of giving birth then don't you dare to presume to tell a woman what she can do with HER BODY.

It is my opinion that until the zygote or fetus is able to sustain life outside of the body WITHOUT the use of machinery then the primary concern should be with the woman carrying the potential human.

As far as "mistakes" since many boys/men are unable to give birth they have no real regard for the consequences of their overactive hormones. Many a young girls life is ruined by some selfish irresponsible male. While they go off without any regard for either life they stomped all over. It takes two to tango you know. It also takes two to create life. I am not saying that females don't have any responsibilty in this matter. I am a strong believer in personal responsibilty and consequences. But boys/men should be held just as responsible. Once they impregnate a female and it can now be scientifically documented they go into the system. Until that child is able to support themselves without government assistance the male is COMPLETELY financially responsible for that child. Perhaps that will make the male think twice knowing that they too will have a consequence for the MAJORITY of their adult life. Perhaps they will keep it in the pants more often.

However, saying all that, the choices that young woman have to make should be safe and legal. There should be counseling and help from other women in making the best choice for them.

But the bottom line is...................THERE SHOULD BE A CHOICE! PERIOD.
