Someone's opinion can't be wrong, because an opinion is like a belief and is not necessarily based on facts. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, regardless if you think it's wrong or not. It can't be wrong just because you disagree with it.
Anyway, to get on topic, I think teen pregnancy occurs far too often in today's world. My cousin got pregnant at 18 after graduating from high school. She got married the father of her kid a couple years later and they're both good parents. My cousin went to college a year after having her kid, and she's got a good job now. Teen pregnancy isn't always a bad thing, it depends on the person who gets pregnant and how they deal with it.
People shouldn't be having sex if they aren't prepared to deal with the responsibility of having a kid. Protection doesn't guarantee 100% that you won't get pregnant.
As for abortion, I think it should only be done in cases of rape or if the pregnancy presents serious health issues for the mother. You shouldn't have an abortion just because you're not ready to have a baby, if you're not ready then don't have sex. If you don't want the baby, give it up for adoption after birth. By having an abortion, you're not dealing with the consequences of your actions, you're just taking the easy way out.
