I also forgot to mention better education about preventing pregnancy in the first place. It's ironic that some of the most virulent "pro-lifers" are also against teaching contraception. So, what's better? An abortion or a pregnancy that never happened in the first place? Teaching abstinence and/or chastity? It certainly can't hurt, but the human race has been fascinated by sex ever since they first figured out what those funny bits "down there" were for, and I sincerely doubt they're going to stop anytime soon. Penalties for fornication and such used to be much worse than mere social disapproval, and yet, people still had lots of sex.

Education won't solve everything, but again, it sure can't hurt. And not everyone follows Judeo-Christian morality when it comes to sexual expression.

*sigh*
