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.
Just cause someone has sex, doesnt mean they are mature enough to have sex. Lots of concern for the child, but no one gives a crap about the baby inside them. Its a sad world we live in.
