"Well the point would be, one should be responsible for their own actions."
Like someone said before: a baby should never be used as punishment. That's horrible.
"So therefor this girl would obviousally KNOW what would happen."
Girls KNOW what's going to happen already. What is this? Do you honestly think people who know better don't get pregnant? You're being very naive. People get pregnant ALL the time who "KNOW what would happen". I don't even know what to say. It boggles my mind that you believe that telling people not to would actually work. Your idealism is sweet, but it would never, ever work.
"not to mention they could just play abstinence after their last abortion that year till next year or whenever they get allowed another few abortions, just to be safe."
But they wouldn't, because people are stupid and ignorant. Abortions aren't fun already, and in some cases it's still not a deterrent. Some girls are just irresponsible and can't control themselves. Sometimes they think stuff like if you have sex a certain way or at a certain time unprotected you can't get pregnant. Sometimes, I don't know. I know people who have kids who had no reason to not use protection, but they didn't and now they have a kid they don't want. What you're talking about does not reflect reality. It would not happen. And what about those who don't stop? They're punished with a child? "There, that'll show you to make poor choices and have deadbeat parents, 14 year old, raise this baby." No! That is so very very VERY wrong.
"Sure you can. Curfews, making sure you know where they are at all times, ect. Granted it's not a perfect situation, but few things are. If you absolutly can't control a 12 year old, theres something wrong."
So she has sex on her lunch break when she goes to school. You can't possibly argue that this is going to work. You have to know where she is? She could lie. She could runaway. Who knows! There is no garantee. It completely baffles me that you believe this. You can't teach a child 100%. It's IMPOSSIBLE. You're right, there IS something wrong if you can't control a 12 year old, but it's not necessarily wrong with the parents. Some children/people are just bad. It's in their nature, and you can't do anything about it. Personality is 50% nature and 50% nurture. Parents are only accountable for their child's actions to a certain degree. I don't think it's reasonable to apply that to this.
