Not sexual immaturity through irresponsible sex or being a slut etc. You have no idea what it means to be a mature adult, it means discipline, valuing life. Not getting rid of it at the first sign of hardship for convenience. Abortion is a selfish immoral thing to do, and abortionists like you dehumanize the human life inside the womb by refusing to call it a baby.
It's a much more complex issue than "be a mature adult, FFS!"
There's teen pregnancies, there's rape pregnancies, there's guys who get lot as soon as they find that their partner is pregnant... just to name the most damaging cases where people feel the need to have an abortion.
There are many more cases that lead people to feel the need to have an abortion. Many many more.
Sadly, our society has been unable to resolve them properly.
In the past, forced marriage was a thing... but did it solve the problem or just create a bigger one?
I think allowing abortions to take place is the best we can do, nowadays, to safeguard the livelihood of those women who find themselves in an unwanted pregnancy.
I'd rather we didn't have to resort to it, but the reality of the matter is that it's the most efficient weapon in the arsenal that we have available.
Maybe, someday, when contraception is infallible and adhered to by all sides, when rape becomes a distant memory, when society moves on and sees the value in raising children, instead of the burden of it.... maybe then abortion will become a thing of the past, too... unnecessary.
*and your shocking imagery of late term abortions represent a very small portion of all abortions. Most are performed within the first 2 or 3 months, before it is even noticeable to the outside. Those images are pure propaganda.
