Not to mention is also a higher risk of medical problems to have an abortion performed at such a young age.
Listen, little 15 year olds out there...you don't have the sex, you don't get pregnant, you don't need to make the very adult decision of whether or not to have the baby. You practice self control, you consider self-respect and the respect of others, you think about the possible consequences of your actions. And this is what your parents are hopefully instilling in you, instead of the ridiculously self-serving mantra that you should be able to decide what to do with your own body.
That's where the education starts.
So removing the opportunity of abortion from a young girl who 'didn't know any better' (but should have) is being 'harsh'???
Yep...it will take a generation to turn around that kind of thinking.
Thankfully, South Dakota has gotten the ball rolling.
