Abortion II

Let's put the science aside, considering the current medical definition of abortion - would I advocate or not?

Well, a yes and a no.

Yes. In a social-function perspective, I support the law for legal abortion. We have entered a generation where pre-maritial sex is no longer a debate topic but a norm (I am not saying its morally right), and in the short OG rotation I had seen at least 10 mother-to-bes who were still in their school uniform. If abortion is never allowed, whats going to happen to the reckless and helpless couple, afterall raising a child is not playing Tamagotchi.

And did you notice how much one needs to invest for a newborn baby? We are in the era of nuclear families - not that we want to - but who on earth could now actually be financially-competent to raise an entire football team. We are not talking about optional luxuries now, you can go check the price of diapers or formula milk, then you'll see.

Yes, I agree teenage unplanned pregnant is a huge mistake one could have made, but I don't see a better way to ruin 3 lives at a goal than to force a couple who are immature and inadequate, or more horribly, irresponsible and non-committed to raise a child.
