It is so wrong to kill a child who has done no wrong. In a way this will prevent young girls from engaging in early sex (having it in mind that they could always terminate the pregnancy) since they will have no way out but to keep the baby, it will also reduce on the extra marital relationships and affairs, and such related instances. However, when it comes to the health related issues, that is, life or death situations where it is clinically proven that the mother or child is at risk, I think there should be an exception made so that at least one life is saved.
