RE: Abortion Rates
I only agree with abortion when:
1- the woman was raped
2- the woman's life is at risk
3- the woman has a desease that infected the infant and won't be a very nice thing to live with (AIDS, for example)
4- the woman is a girl under 13 years of age
(this, of course, is if the mother wants to; except in the last 2 points, IMO)
If it's teen pregnancy for girls older than 13, then I'm sorry. Girls should be more careful (boys too!). They can't just abort to "erase" their "mistakes". That's what responsibility is about.
I also think 20 weeks is enough time to decide (point 1), but can be extended to more weeks for points 2-4 (however, if it's like that, the abort would happen before 20 weeks, anyway).
I think they should make different time limits, for each possible group of problems that could arise if the woman doesn't abort.
This is my opinion.
