The "you brought it on yourself" piece of the argument that I see some pro-lifers use seems almost a bit vindictive. So people that are immature should not have sex. You know what? I agree with that. However, that doesn't stop immature people from having sex. What do you do when they do get pregnant? Are you gonna say "well, tough **** kiddo" and that's your argument for denying them abortion?
To me, that seems more rooted in bitterness than any kind of logic. In other words, I don't think that's something worthy of basing an important moral decision on.
And what does it matter to you if those immature kids do get an abortion? You think getting pregnant and having an abortion is not a bad experience for a young mother? You think she can't learn from that and is just gonna go out there and get pregged up again?
