This topic is based upon your personal opinion on whether abortion is wrong or right. I personally believe that it is wrong, and have many reasons for it. You may challenge me if you wish, but please make sense!

If we stopped having sex then there wouldn't be any more humans. Also - abstinence only doesn't work.
and then dont effing have a ton of kids!
True. I saw a reportage about a christian family in the US having 20 children (well they had the money for it) and still wanted to 'be blessed with more decendance'. Another case I heard about was a wife, who had already 8 kids, who was expecting twins from her new husband just because he wanted children of his own.. Things like that are just stupid. Happens everywhere sadly.
if people would just stop having sex, then we wouldnt be over populated!
No!! Don't stop sex! Teach them to use condoms dammit!

A little off topic, dude
Also, reproduction is an inefficient form of making new life forms anyway

yeah, it does, if you dont put the key in the lock, you cant open the door, then when you wanna, you unlock the door, if you get what im saying...
it works. and then we wouldnt have bilions of people, and the world could support us. and we would have people who couldnt afford babies, and we wouldnt have to worry about that reason for abortion.
Abstinence is not a solution. It simply doesn't work. Humans have impulses which are difficult, and at times impossible, to control. If you do some cursory study into the preponderance of teenage pregnancies by region and religion you will find time and again that religious areas which teach abstinence and do not promote early, accurate education are by far the most plagued with unwanted teenage pregnancies.
Across the board we see that early and accurate education, coupled with the availability of all medical options, drastically reduce the number of mothers who opt for abortions. When people are educated early, and have access to birth control options, and are not dogmatically pressured to avoid utilizing these medical benefits, abortions are less and less of an option and unwanted pregnancies are drastically reduced.
with abstinance, you dont need birth control, birth isnt something that needs to be controlled, its something that should be embraced, but it shouldnt be had,unless youre ready, and "safe" sex fails alot of the time.

you expect a horny hormone filled child to abstain from THAT? i think not

Communism works in theory as well, but people aren't ideal.
Let me use my own story as an illustration.
Personally I became sexually active when I was 13. I was well educated about sex, and the risks of disease, pregnancy, and the like and I have never contracted a single STD, and did not have my first child until I was 21 and married and made the conscious decision to do so. I spent 8 years sexually active without an unwanted pregnancy or disease.
By contrast my cousin, who is the daughter of my uncle, a minister, was home schooled, never took sex ed, and became pregnant only 3 months after becoming sexually active and has had 2 STDs that our family knows of.
The only real difference between us is that I was educated and taught to make an informed decision, while she was not educated about sex at all, and was only told that abstinence is the best policy.
Because of her lack of education she made decisions which would likely not have been made had she had the facts. Obviously abstinence is the best, but it is unreasonable to expect, especially this day in age. I have no problem teaching abstinence, but couple it with early sex education so that those children who do not choose abstinence are at least armed with the facts and can make intelligent decisions.
Again, across the board, study after study has shown that a lack of sex education leads to increased STD transmission and increased unwanted pregnancies.
hmmmm, 13 right.........
Yes, that's right. And 15 years, 2 marriages, and 3 children later I'm quite sure that I need not exaggerate my own personal experiences to someone on the other end of the internet to garner some inflated sense of self worth. I only offer up a factual tale from my own life as one real world example of my position that education is critical to reducing the need for abortion as an option.
I'm quite sure that there are personal experiences out there that could show the reverse, however based on the research I have done into the needs of abortions, who gets them, their education and religion, and their culture has shown that my personal experience regarding the benefits of early and factual sex education are on par with the rest of the world.
The simple fact is that a lack of education on any subject leads to decisions made in ignorance and these typically are decisions which are detrimental and could have been avoided had education take place.
maybe, parents should teach girls to not be $lut$ and boys to have respect. its not like kids don't know about std's or pregnancy, they just simply don't care. i adopted my wife's daughter, from her previous relationship. she knew the consequences, but she did it anyway. kids need discipline, not more compassion, both girls and boys need a smack upside the head if they choose to have sex unprotected.
True, but in addition to education we need to ensure that preventive measures are available. While I would prefer my daughter refrain from having sex until she is finished with her education and ready to start a family I realize that is an unrealistic idea. If she chooses to become sexually active then I feel that it is my job as a parent to ensure that she is fully educated and making an informed decision and has access to contraceptives and condoms to keep her safe.
Too many times these are not available to our young people and hormones often win out over better judgement. If these were available I assure you that these teens would choose them.
Oh, and why is it that a girl who has had other partners is a $lut, yet a boy who has is not? What is the issue with a woman experimenting and enjoying intercourse as much as a man?
Maybe you need to drop the social stigma from your vernacular since it further compounds the issue.

You know what they say; If a key opens many locks, it's a master key, If a lock is opened by many keys, it's a shi*ty lock.
ok, blackvortex, that is the most awesome, and sexist thing ive ever heard. and MRWalker, i said multiple times that its both girls and boys that need the discipline.
