Decided this would be Debate Area worthy.
I've pretty much always been pro-choice. Too many people conclude that pro-choice = enjoyment of dead fetuses, which obviously is not the case. It's just I don't think it's my business to dictate what someone else should do with their unborn child. I don't understand their circumstances, so I shouldn't make that choice for them. Hence, pro-choice.
However, as of recently, I've come to realize there seems to be a decadence of young teenage girls becoming pregnant. 15, 16, 17. Now, although I believe personal ordeals to a degree such as this should not be decided by me, most individuals this young are not mature enough to make a rational decision. It would be apparent that their intention was not to get preggers, which they failed to do by some means. Accidents happen, condoms break, they were the 1%, whatever. I get that. I just feel that too many of them get frightened and overwhelmed by the position they're in and get an abortion. I do my best to stay objective, but this is a potential life being discussed. Put simply, it seems wrong to have a future human being not get a say in whether they have the ability to live or not because some adolescents were horny and didn't think something through. Again, shit happens. Still.
There are other factors in my thought process, but that's the main point.
Still on the fence about this. What do you guys think?
