And even if they would be, I think the decision is still all the mother's or the couple's. Personally, if I were found pregnant and did not have the possibility to abort, I think I'd do it anyways, in a unsafe and disgusting way, like cleaning my uterus with a spoon or tickling the fetus with kneeting needles, like they did it in "the good ol' fashioned way".
My second point is: what do you all hold against sex? Or sex before marriage, if you prefer. Considering my own cultural and historical environment (quebecker, or french-canadian), where we had to fight to get rid of religion and religion's grasp over our lives, only considering the idea of "no sex before marriage, it's wrong" seems like a regression to me. Just to situate my own point. Now, if someone could really explain me, why, besides "because the Bible says so", one should not have sex before marriage, let me know it.
Third, just to clarify a point: here, the legal age for BUYING alcohol is 18, but you get fully reponsible of your body at the age of 14 (which means you can get drunk - but not buy alcohol -, you can have sex, go the doctor alone and have him keeping professional secret over all your files). We are not all ruled by the laws of the great and grand USA.
