I also find it funny that the topic gets narrowed down to "young girls" or  
"young wymyn" having abortions which does not reflect realities, and at  
the same time indicates that abortions with young persons are due to some  
uneducatedness re contraception, or an unwillingness to use  
contraceptives.

What I don't find funny, e.g., is that the suggestions to have unplanned  
children aborted do not reflect that it may be harder to have a baby with  
you for nine months and then it disappears for good. As true as it is that  
abortion will never be a cure-all, neither is adoption.
