I watched a program yesterday evening called Under Age and Pregnant. I looked at some teenage girls that were pregnant and then how they cared for their babies. It was upsetting to hear that in my home country 60% of pregnant teens have an abortion. None of them intended to get pregnant but it happened to them even those using birth control.
What do you think?

thats a very sad estimate. i have seen more unwed mothers though. i hope younger generation will be more responsible these days. i am not tolerating pre marital s*x but if they cant wait, there are the contraceptives being taught in schools. how come accidents like these still happen? 
it is either they were absent when it was taught or they simply are stupid. am sorry for the word. it just makes me desperate to see these moms facing uncertain futures. i ask you, do you think abortion should be legalized?ann

contaceptives don't always help, they are not 100% preventive. unfdortunatley there are kids who also simply don't use it thinking nothing will happen, but some use bad quality contraceptives which have hirher accident rate, some use good quality and have accidents anyway. They should teach to use double protection, use 2 contraceptives at the same time, if one fails, there is a second one just in case.
