Well, I agree with you, although I do support, and agree with, abortion.
I just wanted to comment on your second point, about minors being given an abortion without parental consent.
The way I see it, if someone is mature enough to make a decision to engage in sexual intercourse, that same person is mature enough to decide to abort an unwanted pregnancy.
The only reason I support minors having abortions without parental consent is because I worry what would be the outcome if a parent was aware their daughter was intending to abort her pregnancy? I don't imagine a Christian mother/father would just sit back and allow their daughter to terminate her pregnancy, do you? I'd be concerned for the minor - would they be forced to gestate against their will by their own parents? This is something I would never like to see, so I am all for minors obtaining abortions without consent.
I am also in favour of minors having access to contraceptive devices without parental consent.
