Because most people don't walk around like programmed robots. When you're 16, you're dumb. You make poor decisions. You act in the moment and don't think about the consequences of your actions.

Of course, not everyone is like that, but I think most of us non robots can think back to when we were 16 and I'm sure we all made a lot of really bad decisions. That's life man.

The real irony here is the same people who oppose abortion, are also the same who complain about government handouts. So, we don't want these dumb 16 year olds to have an abortion, and then are outraged that they cannot support themselves and their children because they are ill prepared. Makes sense.
