Abortion

I'm Pro-choice - to an extent. If a woman wishes to terminate her baby then it is up to her, but at the same time I feel that if the woman is in a relationship then it is a joint decision and there should be two signatures on the consent form. The man has just as much of a right to know that his baby is being terminated.

Obviously, each case is individual - in rape circumstances then it is simply up to the woman, obviously - but to a a 17 year old who is about to go in for her 25th abortion because she can't be bothered to get up and go to get condoms... surely something else should be worked - forced sterilisation maybe?

I had a look around and managed to find some statistics for abortion in 2001 - turns out that there was 12 abortions for people under the age of 15!

Under the age of 15?!! And that was just in the UK, in the rest of the world there was another 22. Those statistics can be found here

Apparently teenage pregnancy rates got so high in Swindon, that they began to give free abortions to teenagers if they had a Swindon post code...

"The official statistics show that in 2004, 12,866 women from the South West had an abortion.bpas performed 92% of the abortions (more than 560) for women from Swindon and is the main abortion provider in the area."

...MAIN ABORTION PROVIDER?!?

Surely this is a world gone mad when companies are cashing on women doing this, Im all for the women making a choice for themselves and being able to carry the decision out but I find it slightly horrifying when there are companies competing for the right to do so.
