Choice means just that. Choice.

Yes, but it shouldn't simply be a matter of "choice". The whole process of reproduction is much more complex and has much more involved in it than simply the "choice to kill a fetus".

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.

Actually, that the two go hand in hand does not mean one caused the other. I have talked with many teenagers, and some of their views are very appalling when it comes to reproduction. Yes, teenagers are often irresponsible regardless of abortion laws, but when they know they're going to wind up with a baby to take care of instead of doing all the things that most "normal" teenagers do, many of them will be more careful.

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.

Well, do I feel like paying for thousands of disabled people out of my own pocket? So let me go out and kill some.... Oh yes, and do I want to pay for a thousands-of-dollars-surgery to separate conjoined twins when it would save everyone the trouble and the money if they were just "put to death"? I don't think anyone likes paying anything to complete strangers out of their own pocket. But it sure doesn't mean that we have the right to put them to death..

The question is not simply about education, it is also about taking moral responsibility. Choice, you tell me? What choice? The choice to kill? Why give people the choice to kill completely healthy foetuses? I would understand (and I said exceptions should be allowed for) if it's a case of say a terribly deformed baby (such as those from the Gulf War, but then again, the question then becomes, would the deformity appear at such an early stage?) or even rape, but to give every woman the "choice" simply because they're women is not about "equality" or "rights", it's about murder in cold blood. Remember, they had a choice in becoming pregnant (minus the rape case), and if they didn't want the baby, they shouldn't have become pregnant to begin with. They want the foetus to pay the price of their irresponsibility as well as their fickleness..... And I'm not about to support them to do that.
