Except we don't make people stop having sex when they screw up, like we do when they suck at driving. It's apples to oranges. Driving recklessly endangers other people. ####ing recklessly endangers the only two involved. Until I see evidence that an aborted fetus is a sentient being, then I'm not considering it part of the equation. Hypotheticals regarding the potential of a fetus get much drearier when you look at the statistics surrounding children born to teen mothers.

Okay, I am not sure how you see it as apples to oranges, ###ing recklessly isn't JUST about the two people involved, or we wouldn't even be having this discussion would we?
In my opinion, terminating an otherwise healthy fetus when one of the two parents is dead set against it is just wrong and IS violating the rights and freedoms of one of the parents and the unborn child.
It's obvious I am pro-life, but I understand there are situations where termination of pregnancy is better for all involved.
