There are plenty of countries (Ghana for example) which have illegal abortion that prove this statement wrong. By not educating the populace as to how to have CAREFUL sex practices you will continue to see CARELESS sex practices. Making abortion illegal will do nothing to stop this. It is education and the availability of contraception that is the key.
And "stupid teens" actually are not the majority of women out there having abortions. The number of teenage pregnancies have dropped significantly in recent years and the number of 20+ year old women hold the #1 spot for abortions in the United States (according to the last studies I had read).
