This has served to hamper the growth of the industry and keep the public dependent on fossil fuels.

Abortion
A common argument with abortion is that a woman who is old enough to have sex and get pregnant is old enough to care for a child. Studies show that on average a girl begins menstruating at the age of 13. The last time I checked a 13 year old child would not be the very best choice as a parent. I also don't agree with children having sex at a young age as well.
