Personally, I'd rather see more children bought up in a SECURE (both financially AND emotionally) household than see what I've been seeing over the past few years - A bunch of pram pushing 15-16 year olds that are ill equipped to raise a child, and would most likely give them a totally fucked upbringing anyway.
I think that if you don't have at least one of the following
*A secure job + housing
*A stable relationship with co-parent
*An Education
*Super-rich parents
You just shouldn't have a kid.
Can't Feed 'Em - Don't Breed 'Em...
Anyone can fuck up and make a mistake at a young age, and in most of those kinda cases, I'd consider it the responsible choice.
As for who's decision it should be, if you're in a "real" relationship
both parties SHOULD be involved in the decision, and this shouldn't be a problem, as a "real" couple would most likely want to discuss the situation, each partner hearing the others thoughts, pros and cons.
I'm not saying I'm "all for" people fucking around unprotected and having abortions as a regular thing either, I think they are the most irresponsible people out there.
However, I don't feel a person should be descriminated against for making a decision on the basis of necessity, one that could prevent themselves and a child from living in poverty....
