You do!  With the availability of contraceptives, you can't tell me
that in the *majority* (I'm highlighting this for a reason, as I don't
want to get flamed over the .01% of contraceptive failures, or the
equally small number of pregnancies that result from rape) of abortions,
anyone but *you* made you get pregnant.

So (as I'm sure has been pointed out *lots* of times before) why don't
you skip all the grief and trouble of taking responsibility for the 
results of your own actions and give the child up for adoption?
