I firmly believe in a woman's right to choose, and to answer to whatever deity she may put faith in. I am willing to consider abortion control when the father is held financially liable for 65% of the child's and mother's needs until the child reaches 18. If the mother marries, he would still be liable for his support of the child he helped create. 65% reflects the disparity between in income and accumulated wealth between men and women.
If the father is underage, the liability falls on his parents. I also need to see social safety nets that are publicly funded. If the government is going to outlaw abortion, then it needs to sustain services that give the mother a path to success, and not damn her to poverty.
Needless to say, the states here in America that have the most stringent anti-abortion laws also have the worst support services for the mothers and children.
