Well, abortion is nothing new nor are we the only animal that does it.
I'm certainly pro-choice--but I don't agree that it's always the right decision and it certainly shouldn't be made lightly. Who's to say that every young mother will turn out to be a welfare statistic? My mom was 17 when she conceived my older brother with my father. We were never on welfare ... (but just to be fair my parents did divorce when my mom was 23 about 2 years after I was born; so statistically speaking we fit right in).
Again, I will reiterate, abortion may or may not be the right decision ... but it may not fit in with your plan since your daughter is the one who will really have to make the decision.

I'd love to believe that I would raise a child who was careful enough, and if not, as adamantly pro-choice that this wouldn't ever become an issue.
So in light of that, I stand by what I said. I can only address what I'd want to do, not what I will do. It's hypothetical.

QFT.
Also, I just realized that in my post to which you are replying I implied that 6-year-olds are not human ...
I want to state for the record that my 6-year-old is very much human; despite the way she acts sometimes.
