I just love how Gary chimes in with , "I can't believe how quickly these women are giving up their parental responsibilities." None of that crap is the issue. The issue is, allowing a woman to decide her own future, even if she is a young woman. I would have freaked out if my parents tried to force me to have a child that I did not want. And once again, I don't care what age the pregnant woman is, bearing and raising a child is not punishment for a lack of responsibility. So all that talk about facing the consequences of your actions and taking responsibility for them is bunk. A person terminating an unwanted pregnancy in the first trimester is doing just that. And has decided that she could handle the consequences of that as well, whatever that might mean for her life.

And pardon me for saying so Gary, but as a man who will never have to make that decision or be faced with the consequences, your opinion means nada.
