182. I told my 15 yo son to keep it zipped or keep it covered if he didn't want to be a teenage daddy...
Harsh, but at the time we knew a 16 yo girl who was pregnant by a 15 yo boy. Idiot children that they were.

In any case, when it comes to the "choice" of whether a pregnancy will be terminated or continued, the day that men can choose to have the fetus implanted in their own abdominal cavities we can talk about it.

I was volunteering at the reception desk of the local Planned Parenthood when an enraged father dragged his 6- or 7-months' pregnant daughter in and demanded that she be aborted "Right. Now." How's that for choice?

I seriously doubt that any such thing was done to her that day or any other, because PP is not in the business of providing abortions on demand by men.
