I think you're absolutely right!!
here in belgium it's legal (I think) and it's not like: "Oh, I'm pregnant but I don't want a child. Let's go to the abortion-clinic and get that baby out of me." It has to be clear that you can't raise this kid, or at least you need to have a good reason.
If people want to have sex when they're 16, that's ok, but they got to be carefull (use condoms of the pill). But they can also get raped or the condom is broken or blablabla. And having a kid when you're 16 is just ridiculous. Your mother's freedom is gone, because she needs to help you. You can't do it alone. Even if you didn't use anticonception, you're just too young for a kid. abortus is the answer at that piont (only if the girl herself wants it), not adoption. You can't let the girl have a tough period of 9months and give birth to a baby and have all the pain, and then take the kid away from her.she can't take that emotionally, I think.
ooooh I'm sorry for my bad english and please don't interpretate this wrong, because I don't know how to explain in english..
