And my view was that Abortions are murder and you criticised that by saying i was trolling.

I know what you was trying to say, That i was trying to get him/her to retaliate but this is the Debating forum, so that "trolling" sentence has no purpose here

And this thread isn't about abortion, so keep on topic.

It could be put in a more tasteful manner, but it's not up to me how you post of course. Trolling however is to provoke arguments, and there is quite a large difference between debating and arguing.

I wasnt arguing i was debating which is much like arguing but more civilised,
but anyway like arctic said, Lets keep on topic and not make this thread about me.

What is it actually that makes teenagers, mums in the first place?

1)Pleasure
2)Peer presure
3)or Stupidity

Or do they actualy want to get pregnant? I vote for number 1

You're getting confused with having sex and getting pregnant.

Unprotected sex gets you pregnant, teens shouldn't even be pregnant. There only kids themselves.

For the sake of their children......

Of course not. We live in a free society.

Have you considered improving education? In many Countries around the world, schoolkids spend a semester/term being taught about parenthood - the goods and the bads, and often get allocated a 'robot baby' that requires care akin to a real child, thus giving the kids a real idea of the struggles parenting brings.

Also, the UK benefits system is a joke in need of a real overhaul. How about instead of paying single mums to have more and more children, setting them up with a council house, letting them buy it for £3.50, then sell it for £500k and be sorted for life - we choose a different solution?

What if all that benefit money went towards providing free and compulsory nursery care for the babies. No additional money would be paid to the parents, instead they are given a job from the local councils (cleaner, postie, meals on wheels, grass cutter etc) in return for a set salary of say £200/week.
If they choose not to work, they get no money, can't support their children, children get taken into temporary care. Simple.

They can still be offered Council accommodation if it's required, but the option to buy scheme should be amended so that if the occupant wants to buy it, and the Council agrees, the house should be sold through an independent estate agent with the first refusal to the occupant at full market value.

Just my 2p worth
