I totally get where you are coming from Berenice...Totally & I too question when does the right of the fetus come in? I dom't know the answer to that.
I have told my own daughter (14) that sex shouldn't be an option unless you are prepared that the consequence can be pregnancy... It's a tough one & I do get your point.

Imma gonna open a can of worms and ask:
Do you think that government benefits and a lax-er attitude towards single parenting has made people a bit less responsible in avoiding pregnancy?
I can only assume that if I were a teenager 50yrs ago, I would most definately have been thinking hard about the choices I made regarding unprotected sex if I knew it was not an easy option to keep the baby or to have an abortion. Obviously it still happened but the outcomes were tougher. These days it 'seems' like it isnt a big deal to have an unplanned baby as a teenager/single woman because there is help.
Nowdays you have an 'out' if you need it or 'aid' if you need it depending on your choice. Takes away a bit of the sting until reality sets in, sometimes not until the choice has been made and executed
