I would have to disagree. Overall, I have certainly received the impression that more and more young people are pro-life and are willing to take a stand for their beliefs. I began to suspect this when the homecoming queen (and captain of the cheerleading squad) at the local public high school gave a speech on why premarital sex and abortion are wrong. The high school newspaper editor of the largest public school in the city had an ongoing debate column in the newspaper about abortion; she had started out as pro-abort but after dialogue via letters to the editor and reponses, she became pro-life, and admitted so in the paper.
It's kids like this who are our future leaders-and they are ready and eager to stand up for what they believe. For every nutjob bisexual transgendered pro-abort whatever-the-politically-correct-term-is-this-week nut out there, there is a kid who is ready to stand up and say "This is wrong." The people who fought for so-called "abortion rights" are dying off; some will replace them, but many more will come to our side. It is happening already; even the PP folks admit it (see the recent documentary in which a clinic worker wryly admitted that they were losing). Given 30-50 years, I would have to think that we have a fighting chance of making abortion illegal-or at least extremely rare. The numbers are dropping as I type and they will continue to drop.
As far as administration of antibiotics, I will bow to your greater experience (and that of your doctor).

Have a look at some studies. By high school, over 2/3 of teens have been sexually active.

And look around you for evidence of the lack of respect for life in American culture. Look at the top grossing movies. The top selling video games. The top television programs. Look at the number of adolescents on mind numbing, usually prescribed drugs.

As for your comments on transgender issues, I suggest you read a bit more. Transgendered individuals are not "nutjobs". Nor are they responsible for abortion.

I believe abortion is wrong, but I don't think it should be illegal. If illegality changed behavior, there would not be a single drug addict in the US.
