This. That is why birth control is important, not relying on abortion as a form of birth control
Absolutely. Totally agree. They shouldn't need locking up if they have been taught respect for life, themselves, etc. ...
It isn't a baby at that stage. It isn't sentient, doesn't have a thought process and removing it isn't murder.
As far as the woman's hormonal system and the way her body is operating at 3 months into a pregnancy, to remove that pregnancy is catastrophic, and in a significantly large number of women, has serious and, in some cases, life-long effects. It is a very traumatic intervention, and to be avoided at all costs. And that is just in terms of the woman's wellbeing. As for the unborn child, will have to beg to differ on when it becomes a life to be protected. Most women's bodies would tell you from the moment of conception. You are a guy ...
What is pretty heart-breaking, and at the core of this discussion really, is that whether or not the unborn child is considered of value and a child depends entirely on the circumstances of the parents. So, it is convenient in a teen pregnancy to say 'it isn't a baby', but when someone has been desperate for a child and paid thousands for IVF, they are cracking the champagne and crying with joy when they see it a few stages after zygote in a petri dish.
Re: this question here, though, a new one:
Is it ok to be pregnant and a teenager in Poland?
Because I actually think there is more tolerance of it in Poland, as women are generally much younger when they have children, and getting married/having kids at 20 or 21 isn't such a big deal, so a couple of years earlier isn't so bad.
