A woman has all the power because she is the one who has to deal with the permanent biological changes that come with pregnancy or abortion, not you.
And abortion doesn't allow "people" to deal with the consequences of their actions. NO, what you mean is that it doesn't allow <i>women</i> to deal with the consequences of their actions. How convenient that none of you are holding men to that high standard.
A man can go around impregnating women - he walks away, she has an abortion - everybody is okay with him - just a youthful transgression. A woman makes a mistake, FORCE her to carry the kid, it was HER mistake, put HER through the trauma and forever-life-changing event of pregnancy and birth. Make her accountable. What kind of sick bastard would want to force a 14 or 15 year old girl to carry a child just to teach her a lesson?!?
And I don't care what kind of education you have in reproductive biology, a concieved zygote is no more an autonomous human with rights that supercede its host than a sample of cheek cells from my mouth.
