Forced abortion: no

Widely available abortion services (as opposed to some states in this country having only one clinic in the entire state that provides abortion services): yes

Letting people who relinquish a child older than 5 under a safe haven law to be able to go on and have more: sounds like a license to be a shiftless parent to me. In other words, if you decide not to be a parent anymore for a child that age or older, you should not be able to have another child at a latter date of your choosing. One would hope that the persons abandoning these teenagers swear off having children, but knowing what I know about bad parenting, those who do not want and refuse to take responsibility for their own children always seem to end up having more children... So maybe telling them that if they relinquish the one child they've got, they are also agreeing to give up the possibility of having have might help them decide to be better parents to the ones they've already got.
