The problem i see with this viewpoint is that there are massive consequences, psychologically and spiritually, from ending a pregnancy. If a minor can't be mature enough to keep the baby then they're surely not mature enough to end its life.
Two friends who admit to having one when they were younger both said it was the biggest regret of their lives and are now more traumatized about it than when they had them. They now feel such awful shame and guilt over it.
I object to the govt having any legal say over what a sovereign citizen chooses to do to his/her own body, but once there is another life involved it becomes difficult to justify termination on any grounds.
I think if a woman is raped or cannot provide for a child, she should be matched up with a couple who wish to adopt, who can help her out and pay for any prenatal care.

Idealistic? Sure. But we gotta have a goal.
