Abortion

[Squeezer]

If a Child of 14 isn't mature enough to Buy cigarettes, alcohol or be tried as an adult. Then what makes you think they are responsable enough to 'deal with the consequences' of having a child.

well, not that I don't support women's right to an abortion, but what makes you think they're ready for sex if they can't see the consequences?

Because people, especially teenagers, are incredibly stupid. They make stupid decisions, they get stupid results.
I'm sure that most, if not all, teenage mothers (and fathers, for that matter) love any children they have. Its only natural. It doesn't change the fact that their pregnancy was an accident (As it usually is...)

Since when is sex Illegal? And try as you might, people are going to have sex especially cause they're immature.

The act of having sex would alone prove they aren't mature enough for a responsability.

I'm very very very against abortion, and nothing anyone can say will change that. It's just plain wrong, however you want to look at it. I won't get into an argument though because I know that there is no changing anyone's mind. All I can do is say my views and hope that you won't even consider getting an abortion.

You're an idiot, and I'm going to get a girl pregnant and blackmail her into getting an abortion just because of you.

Its generally illegal for those under the ages of 16, with exceptions, bringing the age down to about 13 for some people.
But honestly, I've never actually heard of anyone getting arrested for having underage sex (When they're both underage)

Theres a difference between being an idiot and being stubborn and/or religious.

And thus, they must pay for their mistakes. It's like if someone drives home when they're drunk, hits head on with another car and kills the driver. He made a mistake, now he has to live with it.

If the young person is not ready to accept consequences, then they should not be having sex, just as they should not be driving drunk.

Having sex leads to babies. That's just the fact of life. Contraceptives were invented to possibly get around that, yet sex still produces babies. Knowing that, if you're going to have sex you need to face the consequences of your actions.

We let 14 year olds off with less punishment because of their youth, and how they aren't old enough to understand somethings.

I agree entirely. My point is, though, that this line of thought doesn't always run through peoples minds (especially teenagers... hormones say 'have sex now', and the hormones don't mention pregnancy... which is why Sex Ed is important.). Sex is a means to an end, the end being pregnancy.
Not everyone views it this way... to some, Sex itself is the end.

This applies to pandagirls comment too.

Right, but that still doesn't really give a good reason to not allow abortion. That's like saying "Writing stuff down leads to spelling errors. That's just a fact of life. Dictionaries were made to get around that, yet writing still produces misspellings. Knowing that, if you're going to write, you need to face the consequences of your actions," in a way that's trying to get people to stop using erasers.

Oh man, I've still got it.

[Epinephrine]

I never got the opposition to abortion. A fetus isn't even a person anyway. I still can't wrap my head around it.

That said, it's fine if you personally won't do it, but to not allow anyone else to do it is just cruel.

thread got me all horny

This is a horrific analogy, since if you kill the driver then the driver is dead no matter what you do, and what you decide to do does not particularly affect what happens. However, if a young person gets someone pregnant, then the option of having an abortion is still available, and after an abortion the situation is reset, so to speak, whereas there is no way to resurrect the dead driver.
