Quote:It's not the number of times that's the problem, it's the fact that someone is having abortions because she is not using protection. There is no way someone can have 7 abortions by the age of 16 and they are all because the birth-control method failed.
Right, but I'm saying, why is it okay to have an abortion as a last-resort but not as a form of contraception? Is it only quasi-moral to abort a fetus, and only forgivable if kept to a minimum?
Quote:The big thing is what if this girl later in life like in her 30's wants a baby , But became infertile do to being a slut in high school using abortion as contraception?
Yes, I've addressed that abortions may make contraception more difficult later. I've heard that the chance of conception lowers with every abortion performed. Isn't this still the girl's choice, though? If she's aware of the risks, is it not still her decision to make?
Quote:Is She really mature enough to make such a permanent decision now? Like many who said "bah I'll never catch lung cancer or it will be curable " when taking up smoking in their youth.
What if the woman IS mature enough to make the permanent decision? Let's let go the example of the slut who attends your school for now and examine a hypothetical example of a woman in her late 20s. Where do you draw the line?
