text: teach abortion, because abstinence does not work? please, allow me to explain my question.  many abortion advocates, (pro-choicers) believe teaching abortion in stead of abstinence is necessary.  the reason being, people, (of various ages) will have sex no matter what they are taught. including rape, people have sex under either of two circumstances: voluntary or involuntary.  if one believes sex is, (or at least, can be) voluntary, then they must agree that those who voluntarily have sex should be held responsible for their actions. thus, a man who impregnates a woman must support the woman and child. a man who rapes a woman or child must recieve due punishment for his actions. a woman who is impregnated by consectutal sex must bare responsibilty of her actions.  however, if one believes sex is instinctive, (thus, the urge is uncontrolable) how can he hold one responsible for any sexual situation or the results thereof? should rapist be institutionalized and not imprisoned? should pedaphiles be pittied?  please, explain your answer. if someone is responsible enough to have sex - then they should be responsible enough to handle the consequences. abortion is the easy way out not to mention murder.
