Should sluts be given abortions?

More than a hundred teenage girls a month go into a hospital or clinic to have an abortion for the second time, figures from the Department of Health reveal. They include at least one girl under 18 who has had at least six abortions.

The statistics on multiple abortions in England and Wales, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, will provide fuel for those demanding stricter abortion laws.

They reveal that during 2005, 1,316 girls under 18 had their second abortion, and 90 were on their third.

There were 44 women who, by the end of last year, had undergone eight or more abortions, 20 of whom were under the age of 30.

The table, posted on the Department of Health website, obscures information on women under 30 who have had multiple abortions, to avoid the risk that a small number of teenagers could be identified. But it can be deduced from the tables that 14 women had had their sixth abortion before the age of 25, and that at least one was under 18.

Those who work directly with pregnant teenagers blamed the figures on poor sex education. Simon Blake, the chief executive of the charity Brook, which offers free sex advice to the young, said: "The small number of young women who need to have two or three abortions before they reach the age of 18 have clearly been failed by our education and health systems."

Do you know anything Simon Blake? If after their first abortion these sluts don’t know how not to get pregnant then education wouldn’t work anyway (what’s better than learning from your mistakes?). I can accept 1 mistake but not 6!

This is the reason that if abortion is going to be legal then people should pay for it themselves and should cough up the cash before they get it. If you don’t want to get pregnant you should be either wearing protection or you should not be having sex at all.
