Choice means just that. Choice.

Would you deny that abortions have encouraged irresponsibility, especially in teens? How come we see more women getting abortions now than they used to when it was illegal? Simply because they were illegal? No, not really. If they really wanted to do it, they would've done it regardless (as you said). But many didn't because the door was not open to them and they didn't feel strongly about having an abortion. Now that there is abortion, it's become as normal a thing as divorce. It's become a routine of life. If someone gets pregnant unexpectedly  they immediately run to the abortion clinic. |
Teenagers were always stupid and irresponsible. But the reason why there are more pregnancies everywhere these days is because more and more people are having sex at a younger age, and unprotected sex too. This trend is not related to the fact that abortions became legal. There is huge ignorance when it comes to issues like pregnancy and STDs, and teenagers, being what they are, take risks.

The way many governments have handled this issue is beyond unprofessional and shameful. It's utterly preposterous.

I don't know about you, but I don't feel like paying for thousands of illegitimate babies on welfare out of my own pocket.
The real solution is to educate the people who are at the most risk to get unwanted pregnancies, ie teenagers. If they don't want to be celibate, they should at least not engage in intercourse in an idiotic manner.
