Teen Pregnany & Abortion

I thought that the lecture we had about teen pregnancy and abortion was really interesting. I thought that it was amazing to hear that in 2007 the number of abortions outweighed the number of births in the United States. It just baffles my mind that that can be a true statement, and the fact that it is makes me sick to my stomach. Obviousy, I'm a very conservative person and I don't believe in abortions at all, but the idea that there are more abortions than births is hard for me to even comprehend. How can that possibly be? And the fact that the amount of abortions have gone DOWN since 1986 is even worse! I also thought the information he gave us about teens watching sexual material on television was interesting. I guess I didn't realize that watching sexual media like that could have such an effect on the viewer and their future sexual endeavors. The correlation between teen pregnany and abortion was also educational. The fact that teen pregnancies have gone down to me would mean that more people are learning to use birth control and condoms, however then Dr. Hollist brought up the fact that maybe girls are just having more abortions, which totally crushes me because it's probably the case.
