Should ALL under aged females have abortions?

You have misunderstood me. I am not for forced abortions, but in the event that a underage child decides to have the child, the two options should be you keep the kid and you pay for it without any benefits or the kid goes into care.


That's how it works already..... you don't get benefits for the child, someone over the age of 16 has to agree to be the main carer (usually their parents) to do so.

Kinda scary how little average citizens regards to human rights are. They think the government should have the power to do pretty much everything.

Sorry your right, you can get child benefit but not income support.

my philosophy/viewpoint is that if they can't pay for their kids then the government should not pay for them. so that would lead to a de facto inclination for abortions as opposed to expecting the public for paying for these "baby mamas'" displays of idiocy


You'd think that, but remember these people don't really think ahead, hence why they, y'know, got pregnant in the first place.

You're seriously discussing allowing the state to force abortions on young women without their consent?

The kids shouldn't be taken away either, not unless it's proven that the mother/parents are a danger to the child.

well maybe it would inspire more safety in terms of sex in our culture, and a further readiness to take every step of responsibility to prevent pregnancy
Jail sentences for the people involved would make them think twice.
