I've paid for 2 abortions in my life. Though one I'm sure she wasn't pregnant, she was just hitting me up for money and it wasn't worth the risk to find out otherwise. I was 21 years old at the age of both, neither of them would have been fit mothers whatsoever, I would have stepped up and did what I had to do as a father, I'm responsible like that but if I did, I would not have been able to take the risks and make the personal sacrifices that I've made to get where I am now business wise. If I had a child at 21 I'm probably a computer tech at best buy doing side computer work to put food on the table instead of running my own web development firm.
I would have not been a good father. I would have tried, but I wasn't ready to be a dad emotionally. I could have probably supported a kid at 21 financially but I was very irresponsible with money at that age.
Not only that, the girl that I"m pretty sure WAS pregnant was a freshman in college. Had she had the child she would have dropped out. She has a degree now.
It was just better for everyone. I not only thing abortions should increase I think they would be FREE. I think abortions should be a free government service. It sounds silly but it's what Iran did to curve their population control / financial issues and it worked.
Crime being down now is a direct effect to unwanted babies being terminated. There aren't as many criminals. I'll tell you another secret; the more unwanted babies you terminate, the less overhead the country has in regards to welfare, medicare, etc, because I would venture to say 80-90% of the kids born like that, this is where they're going to end up.
Now I WANT kids and I'm in a much better position to have them and I would do much better by my child.
