But I see your point.
But its all a matter of opinion as far as whether its a life or not, and whether the decision to have one is crucial or not. Thats not for the government to decide or regulate, IMO.
And another thing (not trying to be a fuckface as you so eloquently put it, but...) an abortion isnt exactly a pleasant or inexpensive procedure. So forgive me when I say that it really bugs me when people make uneducated generalizations like "girls use it as a means of birth control". They'd have to be really stupid morbid girls who get off on draining their bank account, time, and physical well-being if thats their thinking, and if there are girls like that out there, Im pretty sure they're in a very small minority, and are not worth changing the system entirely just cause they're fucked up in the head.
