I agree with slipstrike. Teens who believe they are fit enough to have sex should be able to deal with any unfolding consequences. Pregnancies are final, in my opinion, once a human entity has the ability to feel pain. I don't know exactly when that is, but it is a few weeks after the conception. Once this can be felt, the entity has taken on the characteristics of a human being, one with amazing potential. Even though it probably won't reach its incredible potential, it still must be given the right to survive. Although it seems that a girl should have the right to decide whether or not she should bear a child, that decision can be made before having unprotected sex. I am in opposition of most abortions, barring the ones that involve the destruction of only a few cells.
