I'm sure people might say, in response to that, "Then why didn't she use birth control?" Sometimes the birth control fails. But if the mother girl and the father were just being stupid and decided not to use birth control or protection of any kind, then you might say, "The mother should have to give birth to the baby because she and the father were being irresponsible." The thing about that is, first of all, if they have the kid and keep it, the mother and father might not be able to afford it or the kid will not be raised very well. Think of teenage mothers... I'd say a great majority of them are not mature enough to handle a baby (no offense to ALL young people, I am a young person myself) and teenagers usually can't afford the expenses a newborn baby brings in. Another possibility is that the kid will end up being put up for adoption. Who knows what kind of family the kid could end up with then. There are bad people in this world. Speaking of bad people... what if a woman was raped? Do you really think she would want to keep the baby then? If she did keep the baby, how do you think he/she would feel when his/her mother told him/her that he/she was a product of rape? How do you think the mother would feel? This is one of the main arguments I have against pro-life people. Lastly, I don't think a woman should abort a baby for a stupid reason, such as not wanting pregnancy to ruin her figure. So yeah... I'm sorry if I offended anyone but it's just the internet. I'm not very good at wording things, but (hopefully) you get my drift.

Lol you pretty much summed it up for me
