I believe that most of us know that this is an argument that can not be won in a debate on the internet. And yes, I am voicing my opinion, but I am attempting to understand the other side. Unfortunately, most of them seem unwilling to answer my questions.

While much of the world is covered in gray area, this does not seem to be one of them. Why do I say there is no gray area? Well because you are either killing a kid or you are not. Pretty black and white.

Simple, you give them options so they do not have to abort, or better yet you educate them so they never get to that point in the first place. But if they do get to the point that they are pregnant, but are unable to support a child (because they were too stupid to take necissary precautions) you let them know that it is ok to find someone that actually wants a child and adopt them out.
As someone already said in this thread, there are many people that want kids that can not have them, but because adoptions are so difficult in the U.S (I know because my wife and I were talking to JAG about adopting, but we can not afford it in one shot, unfortunately, the price comes in one shot). they go through second party agencies and adopt from other countries, instead of adopting from their own.
I am not saying that we should spend billions taking care of these kids reared by kids that are too stupid to snap their legs shut (I was a kid once too), I am saying we should give them options. Options they have (on both sides of the fence), but are unwilling to take because it is too hard (we all know hard in the U.S. is a no no now, or so it seems), or to embarrassing (as has been demonstrated in this thread). And lastly, those that are unwilling to take the slightly more difficult route, will be punished.
Big boy rules.
Don't do anything stupid.
If you do something stupid, go big.
The stupid will be punished.
