While true here is a list of the top 10 states when it comes down to teen abortion rates. Just to give perspective to the issue.

No sex education. I've probably taught more sex ed hours than some states combined. And (an educated guess) these states may also have high illiteracy rates among high school and young adults.

Well, Pat, I suppose I will be the only one here that welcomes them (the abortions).
As I see it every one of those abortions meant that an unwanted child was not brought into the world to be neglected by a parent or parents that were not equipped to bring it up well - or worse to be abused.
What I don't understand is how anyone can regret that. Such abortions do a whole lot of good to the (non-)parents, & their parents and avoid a whole lot of harm, mainly to the avoided child.
And those people who try to persuade people in situations where they cannot adequately care for a child to go on and produce one seem to me to bring avoidable misery into the world. How can anyone approve of bringing avoidable misery into the world?
Surely one of the most demanding and valuable things one can do is to bring up children well which includes teaching them how to avoid creating unwanted children. Agreed they ought not to get each other pregnant, but if they do then abortion is a lesser evil than what happens to unwanted children.
Love,
Anthony
Oh! By the way, just say no!

No Anthony, you do not stand alone on this. I agree with you that most abortions represent an unwanted child and that most unwanted children suffer abuse or neglect to some degree. As you said an unwanted child born to a teenager often results in "a whole lot of harm" for the teenager(s) involved, their parents and the resulting child.
The argument of pro-life supporters that adoption is preferable to abortion is bogus as witnessed by the thousands of children that never get adopted; and hypocritical as witnessed by the fact that very few of these people touting adoption never adopt a child themselves.

I'm only contributing to this thread so that I can correct the typo in the heading.

Thank God!!! I don't know how much longer I could have stood that typo. Can Timmy make the post originator write the post title (as corrected) one hundred times?

Once upon a time, arich, my daughters bought me two enamelled plaques. One said "I am nobody". The other said "Nobody is perfect".
Of course I eagerly displayed them both, but in the right order!
Love,
Anthony
