Pro B or not to B

So I flicked on the television this morning to discover a discussion on channel 11 news about having an age limit for the pill Plan B. Its to prevent the fertilization of the egg inside the females womb.
Now the discussion question was raised as to having an age limit on young people alowed to purchase this over the counter drug or should it be open to anyone in need of it....this is where I played devils advocate.
We as a society have put a stigma on young people or people in general who decide to terminate their pregnacies at young ages due to it being an accidental development, but do u really think a child should be born to a parent who doesn't want it or better yet not ready to let go their childhood. Yes they were grown enough to lie down and perform adult duties yet at the same time when they have these children they cannot raise aren't we the tax payers paying for them eventually.
This sparked an interest inside of me to ask people surrounding me what they thought of the following question thrown out by a news anchor and these were the reactions.....
1. No person should be able to kill regardless of age
2. There shouldn't be an age limit since there isn't an age limit to have sex.
3. Accidents happen..lighten up
4. Better they do what they need to do b4 them and the child suffer in the long run
5. There should be an age limit...it would help the parents become more involved in their childs life.
6. If they don't make it legal they will find other ways to do what is necessary
7. Its far more better then scraping the fetus out
8. I couldn't imagine allowing my young teen the choice of wanting to use the pill as a backup agent because she slipped up and didn't use protection
9. Keep it the way it is now not everyone will have to use it anyway
10. I'm all for it..it saves money in my pockets in the longrun.
Now I'm sure everyone read the question and saw that I was asking about there being an age limit on an abortion pill...so yes some of these answers are ridiculous yet at the same time can u blame them? What age is the proper age to kill a person whether they are an adult or something as small as a fetus?
