Here's what I think: I think abortions should be legal, BUT regulated somehow. The right reasons to have one would be: deformed baby, abusive mother, drug-addicted mother, rape. Wrong reasons: As a "quick fix" for irresponsible sex, an abortion after 12 weeks gestation.


Also, this may cause controversy, but I think that the father of the baby should have some rights as well. Menoften get screwed in family law situations! Women say, "It's MY body", granted, it is, but it was also HER body when she permitted a man to have sex with her. So, he can have sex with her, that's ok, but if a baby is conceived by BOTH of them, suddenly it's only HER body?? That is pure selfishness. Like with any bad decision, we have to face the consequence. Well, by getting pregnant (carelessly or accidently), the consequence should be to carry the baby to term if the father wants custody of the baby. I think he should definitely have a say-so in the decision.
