Whatever decisions a woman or man decide to take regarding their own bodies and health should be their own, no matter the circumstances.
Above all, it's the freedom and right of deciding for yourself what you do with yourself.
Except that most can't deal with the antagonistic idea of being the bearer of life(the woman, in this respect) and choosing to end it before its time.
I don't think it should be considered a
moral crime, as people put it dramatically, but at the same time I wouldn't do it, were I to be put in such a situation.
Why? No clear idea, really...might be a subconscious thing...and the fact that it can raise dire complications as one never knows how your body might react... there is such a delicate balance.
Jayme pointed out what I think might be a major factor leading to many teens having to resort to the procedure: poor information management about protection amongst people of age- this in spite of the fact that there are many school programs out there doing just that(mostly referring to Europe and the US).
And then, have you people seen what's happening in China regarding 'birth control' and forced abortions lately?
That is crossing the line.
There were 2 girls in my high school that both told me that the had abortions (one of them age 17 already had 2 abortions!) just because they didn't like to use condoms, and "shit happens"!
People barely even look around to notice their own kind while walking down the street these days..of course their children won't think much of or give much importance to others or caring for life in general. It's a 'frugal' statement, but you get what I mean.
Edit: Ah yes, how rude of me to forget:
