Knowledge is important, if you want to engage in a potentially life altering act you have to know the risks involved and not just "assume" you're 100% safe even though you're really not. Ignorance really isn't a proper excuse. |
Knowledge is important, I'll agree with that. I feel sad to say though that not everyone feels that knowledge is important. I don't think, however, that lack of knowledge is really not that big of a deal. I'm not saying ignorance was a proper excuse for getting pregnant and aborting a child. I was saying that ignorance is not a good enough reason to punish her with a child to raise.
And as for the adoption argument, there are homeless people in the country, and we should AT LEAST make sure these people are helped before we introduce a lot of new people to feed and clothe.
