The thing is, in this case birth control is a godsend. Prevention is always better than cure, no? Being responsible means not getting into a situation where you have to make a choice to abort... Because, useful as it may be, abortion is no walk in the park. Neither is pregnancy, but that's not my point. What's best is a combination of sex education and dialogue and sessions with the parents and birth control and planned parenthood. Abortions and putting children up for abortion is dealing with the symptom, not the disease. Preteen sex and pregnancy is definitely a no-no, I think we all can agree. But, like I said, in this case, birth control is a godsend of sorts. It's definitely better to prevent these children from having sex in the first place, but if that's unavoidable, society must take care of them somehow, and if that means giving them pills to prevent pregnancies, then I am all for it. I know girls who have been in these situations and the trauma of going through pregnancies and abortions at age 14 or 13 is enough to kill any man...
