Urmm... why? If a fifteen year old has unprotected sex and gets pregnant then surely they should be allowed to abort the baby? What about foolish eighteen year-olds? People make mistakes and this is one way to sort it out.
You just have to remember, Triton, that not all countries have the close-to-Victorian culture (in some states) as the USA. Some countries don't slam sex before marriage or indeed sex in general. To be honest, if people want to consent before sixteen then it's nobody else's business. They might just be more mature, they might just be stupid, there's a whole variety of reasons. Why shouldn't they be allowed to abort a child that they have no hope of looking after? You can talk about the dangers of unprotected sex if you want, but what if the condom splits? What if the girl is lying about taking the pill just because she wants to experience sex?
Or are people not allowed to make mistakes?
