Why do you want an abortion?

I don't have the time/money to raise a kid.

How did you get pregnant?

I had sex. Like, duh!

Why did you have sex? Didn't you know you could get pregnant?

Of course I knew! Everybody knows that. But I didn't think it would happen to me!

Why didn't you?

Well, I used protection, and everybody knows that keeps you from getting pregnant...

Apparently it doesn't.

Yeah. It must have been defective.

So, are you going to stop having sex until you're ready to take care of a child?

Of course not! Why'd I do that?

That's your freedom of choice. To have sex, and have a kid, or not have sex and not have a kid.

Maybe I like to have sex. Did you ever think of that?

You're so responsible.


My point is that WHEN it is the women's choice, it may make sense to take away her ability to terminate the pregnancy. In the case given by you, I agree that abortion would be acceptable.
