(im talking like under 18 year olds)


But what constitutes a genuine reason? You say that being too young is not an excuse. But what about those girls who have never been taught about sex or contraception? A lot of people believe that you can't get pregnant your first time, or that the withdrawal method is effective, or that you can't get pregnant on your period. It isn't that they're stupid or careless; them not knowing more about sex is the result of their parents' and their schools' failure to teach them. Why should they have to suffer because of someone else's mistake?

And even for those girls who are just careless, pregnancies for women under the age of 20 carry significantly higher health risks. I wouldn't condemn a woman to die or become infertile or anything like that, just because she made a mistake.
