I think what nobody on the left wants to admit is this:
They don’t want the abortion clinics to comply with mandatory reporting laws, because the bread & butter of their industry is performing abortions on teenage girls.
It seems common sense that older women are much more likely to be on regular birth control, or to be in a position where they can potentially care for a child from an unwanted pregnancy. So I surmise that a large proportion of the abortion business just thrives on underage teenage girls who get pregnant.
That’s why they opposed all the parental consent laws, that is why they never get outraged about these stories, and that is why it is so easy to catch abortionists in sting operations failing to report. That’s also why PP is so eager to get involved in the sex ed industry, because by teaching more teenagers how to have sex, they are growing their customer base.
More 20~24 year olds have abortions than teenagers, and of teenagers,many are legal adults and many others are over the age of consent.
Probably dead on. BC pills are not that expensive, and there is no social issue with adult women having them. Teen girls however do have the issue that they don’t necessarily want seen buying them.
1. Mom and dad.
2. a friend of the family seeing it.
3. A school mate sees it and declares open season on trying to bed an obviously willing girl.
Of course there are still plenty of options for them for proper birth control. So the primary reason is they are not mature enough to protect their own interests(like realizing that sex is a bad idea), and too easily let emotion guide decisions.(If you love me...)
