1) Only the girl gets pregnant. Her male partner in crime does not. He can walk away. The Girl gets pregnant. The Girl has to deal with the consequences (abortion or otherwise). Sometimes, even with proper protection, condoms break and pills fail; Sometimes it's no one's fault. It happens.
2) Abortion
is not about
convenience. It is not a light, easy decision with no consequences. There are physical, psychological, and financial consequences to pregnancy, adoption, and abortion. If framed in a narrow black and white box, sure it is easy to say abortion is killing a baby. But please, take a step back and look at all the surrounding factors.
Not only should we consider how going through with a physically, emotionally, and financially pregnancy will adversely affect a woman who is not prepared for such a situation, we should ask why a woman might have an abortion. Let's get to the root of the problem - which is not abortions but what leads to abortions (poverty, lack of sex
ed, etc* see my comments a few posts above).
