Abortion and Marriage

What if abortions were kept legal within the reproductive and privacy rights granted in marriage only, and then only with consent of both spouses? If singles want either a child or an abortion, they would have to get parental consent or married, or would be considered married by the state, in either eventuality.

This way, all reproductive decisions would be made privately, by the parties concerned, and would be no one's else's business at all.

How would that play out in different scenarios, from a Christian or non-Christian POV?

That's the funny thing about those pledges, they really don't do anything. In fact, evidence is mounting that they are actually BAD for you. While they might put off the first sexual contact, once the person does start having sex, they usually go completely hog wild, having as many or more sexual partners than they would have had without the pledge.

Who thought this was a good idea again?

Not only that, but they are also far less likely to use birth control, or even try to protect themselves from disease.
