- NOTE FROM TED: This talk contains a discussion of abortion which represents the speaker's personal views. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
Reproduction, pregnancy and abortion are seen as 'women only issues' and Amanda Bradley asks the very important question, 'Why?'. A leader in the non-for-profit and public health sector with her work for Children by Choice, Amanda examines the impact our attitudes towards reproductive health have on equality.
Amanda Bradley has worked in leadership roles in the not-for-profit and public health sectors for over ten years. She is continually motivated to find solutions that create success for all stakeholders and is always up for complex situations and addressing wicked problems.
We live in complicated times. Not-for-profits are being squeezed to deliver more for less. Amanda believes we have to be able to respond with innovative approaches that enable us to do this - it is essential to be able to describe the successes we have in ways that are meaningful. She says we need to collaborate and find methods of meeting the needs of consumers (clients) that is responsive, timely and accessible in a constantly changing environment.
Amanda prefers to spend time making sure all her ducks are in a row before she leaps off the cliff - with the parachute that she’s triple checked.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I belong to that 1% who's IUD failed. I am devastated and grieving the loss of this tiny human that was forming in me by complete accident, AND I am devastated and angry about the huge taboo that surrounds abortion, because it makes me and many other women very lonely and ashamed in our grieve. My contraception failed, there is no way I or my partner could have prevented this, and there was no way we were ready for this child either, or capable. But society tells me I have no right to grieve because I made this choice, society tells me I can't possibly have felt love for this child and still choose to lose it. Abortion isn't on any woman's bucket list, it's a tragedy for every one of us that had to go through it, and we should be allowed to talk about it without shame, or without getting hated for it!!!
@@StirlingVideoLounge and what problem does forced pregnancy SOLVE? Just curious.
Laura Vittadini's Letter only 3 percent of abortions are because of health issues, ( I am not trying to offend anyone, but sometimes I say I’m not in favor of abortion and people say sh*t to me)
I had three abortions and they were the best decisions I ever made. Never once did I feel like I was "killing a baby", or that I had to "grieve a life" or whatever bullcrap. I'm sorry that it was such a traumatic experience for you, but a fetus is just a ball of cells, so to grieve the loss of it is moronic. Sorry not sorry. Your feelings are real, but whatever humanity you ascribed to that ball of cells was not. You can feel sad at a movie, but at the end of the day it is just a movie, and just because you feel sad doesn't mean any part of it was real. Abortion is the exact same thing. The only reason why this is still such a massive debate is because we are still so behind in terms of giving women full autonomy, and it's as simple as that. If you give a woman a kid then she's anchored for life. If I kept any of those pregnancies then I would be anchored for life to a horrible man. Now I am happily married to a great man, and we will have a kid if/when the time is right.
@@StirlingVideoLounge Not at all.
@@TheLauraVEffect I.U.D.'s NEVER prevent pregnancy, only spontaneous abortion. This is a medical FACT, not an opinion. There is a very long wait list here in the U.S., so many who want a child have to be rich & use another country; this prevents lower/lower middle-class adoptions. The foster care system's goals are for parent reunification, not adoption. Yes, some are adoptable, but this isn't part of most mission statements. I had an abortion, like 64%, I was bullied into it. (I was a teen) It was horrible.
I was in med school when I got pregnant with my 36 y/o son. Even fulfilling my dream of being a surgeon wasn't worth killing my own child over.
I would only add that I never cried over having my gallbladder out. If having an abortion is just removing a clump of cells, why is abortion so heart wrenching?
"Women choose abortions when they don't want to bring a child into this world or it is not safe for her to do so." Shes mom. She does whats best. Even when it's a hard and difficult and painful choice
Exactly. Abortion isn't something anyone wants to think about until we have to. It's often the best choice in the long run. In my opinion, it's best to terminate an early pregnancy than bring a child into the world that will either be forced to go without due to poverty or thrust into the mess we call a foster system.
@@NutmegBGB And you actually believe that's a fate worse than death?
When a pregnancy is terminated, the embryo has not even a conscience yet so yes, death is way better. It can't miss to be alive when it doesn't know what being alive means
@@StirlingVideoLounge abuse and neglect run rampant in the foster care system.
I have a conscience and an opinion. It's not MY problem that you don't like it. FYI I'm already born, so yes, I'm legally a person.
I'm not Australian, I'm America. But I can relate. I was raped in the early 1990's when abortion was a volatile subject then, as it remains to be. I was raped and impregnated at 21 years old. Never pregnant before this. To abort the fetus, I had to walk past three blocks of protesters yelling out at me "slut, whore, baby-killer". This is what ignorance allows. I'm tired of it. 23 years later and women's rights haven't improved around the globe. The saddest part is women represent half or more of the population. What is wrong with that picture?
I am so sorry for what happened to you. It is horrible that you still have to hear such assault in comment while you are bravely sharing your painful story. Those people are toxic.
There are actually more men than women.
And why didn't you put it up for adoption?
I'm sorry for you, but I'm also sorry for that tiny human...
I hope you are well and happy. Many people do not realise that how difficult abortions can be. Everyone should have full right to decide if they want to have a child or not. Power to you!
I don’t think they should stop abortions till they start holding men as responsible to these kids as they do women I see all these single moms struggling while the men are out living there best life just paying a small amount of money to the child
Arden Sloan There’s about 1 million abortions every year and only youabpur 130,000 kids get adopted a year so you do the math they say one in three people you know has had an abortion I personally don’t know anybody who wants to or has ever adopted a child So who is going to be taking care of these kids
So your saying those children should be killed........... that seems reasonable🤔
I like abortion
@@cortneyarnold2486 There is literally no shortage of people available and actively waiting to adopt newborns. True, there are lots of kids waiting to be adopted which is heartbreaking, but they are not newborns. They are older kids who have been put in the system as older kids, by being taken from there parents. They should too be adopted but that is a different conversation all together.
There are no newborns - who are being put up for adoption by their birth mother - who are not being adopted. In fact, there are hundreds of people who try every year to adopt a newborn, and do not "get one". So your point is false.
@@cortneyarnold2486 You know , how about aborting these women and saving the babies.
No woman makes her choice lightly. No couples make their choice lightly. Please respect people’s decisions. I know I’m not alone when I say I wish the world were perfect... but it isn’t. I know it can be difficult to understand, but when someone discloses their unplanned pregnancy to you, remember you aren’t the person whose life is utterly changed. You aren’t the person who has to live with such a heavy decision. But what you CAN do is be their friend and listen to them and support them, no matter what they decide to happen. They need you. They came to you for a reason, because they knew you wouldn’t judge them. I chose to support my friend because I knew she would do the same for me. And I don’t regret it. Please respect people’s decisions. They NEED YOU. Because it’s them against the world. If not you, then who is going to stand by them? Remember you are not alone. Spread the love, not the hate. God bless everyone to feel confident in making the best decisions for themselves and not regret them. Amen.
should we respect someones decision to kill a born child or rob a bank if they don't take that choice lightly? After all they could think they are making the best decision for themselves.
Mathilde Young you’re right. I suppose it depends on our definition of respect. Respecting someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to agree. For example, I respect your opinion. It is valid. Sincerely, thank you for sharing.
@@mathildeyoung1823 it’s their body not yours. Grow up snowflake
@@beuh8752 your the snow flake here i think people should not kill babys who did not even get a chance to live
@@bowservinnie8084 You don’t know what snowflake means. You are a snowflake for caring about an unborn child dieing. It’s unborn it can’t feel it’s okay to kill it if it means saving the mom or the baby.
I needed this. My nexplanon failed and I found out later it was ectopic. I received an abortion shortly after. If it weren’t for abortion I could’ve died.
*Pro lifers aren’t pro life; they’re anti choice*
That is soooo different. That baby was in a hostile environment and would have died if it was left there. I would say that is not even an abortion, it was a necessary medical procedure. How can you say that pro lifers are anti choice?
a pro lifer has 0 to gain from illegalizing abortion. Its more responsibility for men and women. The only people who has something to gain are the pro choicers who have built a "just society" off the sacrifice of millions of humans
@@IconoclastX a prolifer is a woman or man who thinks they need control when they dont. They are not god. So mind your own
@@journeyfortwo5211 because theyre trying to take away a womans choice? Are you slow?
@@loala98 A woman's choice to kill her child? Yes, call me cruel but I am in favour of taking that choice away.
Even if I am slow, I am smart enough to know that a mother is supposed to love her children, not kill them.
I'm what you'd call "pro-life" but I can say that this video has made me open to understand this topic better. Understand women better.
Good. Women are unrealistically being held accountable for things that are not under their control
A strong talk about unintended pregnancies and the reality of fertility management in Australia. Well spoken, nice use of infographics and compassion. Let's keep this conversation going in Australia. Dr Suzanne Belton Chairperson Family Planning Northern Territory.
Quote from a video on your channel. "their many interventions which can reduce discomfort and augment pain relief"
Why do you need some type of pain killer after this? HMM...DANGEROUS
P.S. love how your channel has no comment section
None None So are Americans
Family planning should never involve killing a member of the family
@@mathildeyoung1823 If they don't want it, they can abort it. They have human rights you know.
Yes it shouldn't. But as we live in no utopia sometimes for some people it is the right choice.
Watching in 2020. As a man, I support a woman's choice to do with her body as she wishes. This really opened my eyes. Thank you. The reality in the Outback is that some woman have to travel great distances to access services outside the local community.
If there is *anything* that is positive to come of the new Texas abortion laws, it is that urologists are seeing an increase in men coming in for vasectomies. They are concerned about their partners and are not waiting for vigilante "justice" to kick in. The stakes are way too high.
I never thought I would live to see the day in which men are truly seeing how necessary they are to help prevent pregnancy *and* doing something about it.
I'm passionately pro life but I agree with you there, that is definitely another good outcome of the new laws
When did it suddenly matter to people about what we do to our own bodies
because it's not your own body smh
@@DressieGFX so the body I'm in that I'm controlling ain't mine
@@makaylamorris8385 that doesn't make any sense... First of all it doesn't just appear there so maybe take responsability first.
if you're pregnant either way then it's a life in your body (since life begins at conception genetically) listen to scientists if you don't beleve that. otherwise you should try to tell me when life does begin
So if you agree it's a life, then explain to me why you accept murder
Really got me that the same way women dies is still happening on a massive scale. Both ways the death certificates say died from rip, tear, or puncture in the womb. Media ect. say they died of coat hanger abortion. Taxpayers money for that. PP makes 50k per fetus. HEK-293 is there for you to see.
@Just Saying exactly if you want this baby to live so bad then how bout you have the baby which scientifically people can do
Men need mandatory pregnancy education
I have s strong feeling that the people watching this aren't the ones who need to see it :( Amazing message, very well said
Abortion is what it is, no matter how you try to disguise it. Tragic. Abortion is simply the wrong choice.
@MIssHowk I am just wondering, what about the laws to protect the babies. Do they matter. Selfish bitches.
Doing it for a paper
Amazing message of killing the innocent
Ben Santoyo nothing in the video advocates murder...
It's not always about an unwanted pregnancy either. A couple can have no choice but to terminate a planned pregnancy when the fetus is horribly malformed.
Those are rare..... And even so why kill the unborn child? There have been cases were pre-natal diagnoses were wrong and healthier than expected babies born
Most abortions are done for excuses of convenience like money or it simply not being the right time for a child. Horrible excuses to take the life of a human being that has done nothing wrong.
@@mathildeyoung1823 Ok so when is abortion right for you? Never? Because I can give you about 3 instances where abortion would be ok.
@@brqe The only time it would ever be ok would be if it was the only way to save the life of a pregnant woman - i.e.. they couldn't even deliver the baby early to save the woman's life and try to save the life of the baby. Otherwise you'd have 2 dead human beings, not one.
Do you at least agree excuses of convenience like money are horrible excuses to kill an unborn child and need to be illegal?
@@mathildeyoung1823 I agree on the fact that if they can't finacially support a child then they shouldn't have to go through birth. If it was unplanned then they should have a choice, I only say this because it is so expensive to get injured let alone deliver a baby. Maybe if America will change on medical bill then I will say that they should have the child.
Otherwise, if the parent was screwing around without protection and knows the risks of getting pregnant, got rid of the baby because they didn't want to have to deal with it is where I draw the line.
Also I agree that they should be able to have an abortion if they were victim of r@p3 and inc3st. I can elaborate on that point more if you want to but I don't feel like it rn.
@@brqe no one should have a "choice" to kill an innocent human being. Money is a horrible excuse to kill a child, born or unborn. If a woman had a healthy child and the child got sick could she kill him because healthcare is so expensive? NO. If a woman cannot afford a child she can put them up for adoption - that way the child gets a chance at a full and productive life. Also, in many cases the adoptive couple will cover costs of delivery.
This is such a balanced perspective on the everyday challenges that women are confronted with in controlling their fertility, which is an unplanned pregnancy waiting to happen for Australian women. To policy and decision makers, let's keep the facts, the reality and the perspective at the forefront so that women feel supported and not judged in their decision to choose.
Balanced?????
carolina hernandez Well then I guess we are still judging you
Artamentous Using your own logic against you is fun.
@carolina hernandez you can judge away this is a safe zone and people like you are not wanted :) Also, you should really re-up on ur facts- ALSO- to be able to comment on such a topic- id assume youve done it yourself? Maybe youre angry at yourself for "killing your baby"- maybe ur projecting anger- who knows- only you know why youre commenting about the uncertainty and obstacles complete strangers had to overcome..if thats the case...get a fuckin lifeeeeeeeee
Nichole Zangari that was very rude of you to say she is not wanted
There's no words to describe this extremely excellent speech in my whole life. Sincery, Thank you so much for sharing this topic with people and Thank you to TED putting this video on TH-cam.
You know, abortion is Killing a human
Maria Perdomo Arvizu you know, some random cells aren’t humans.
Maria Perdomo Arvizu you know, you don’t have any right to force someone to carry a child for nine months and spend thousands on it and birth.
Short and that’s my point! If a woman is not ready to carry a child and give birth to it, she should have the choice! People should not have the right to control other women’s bodies, and that’s what upsets me. That people think that just because it’s “Killing another human”, doesn’t mean they should have control over the woman’s choices.
It may ten 10 months..10 ten years..or 50 years..but one day...the woman will grieve at that single act. We can argue endlessly about when life starts ..etc. but you cannot deny that having an abortion is not like having a root canal.
People get angry about someone butchering an animal and are completely fine with butchering babies
Woman are human beings they are a person. Not incubators.
your comment is invalid.
Are you saying that women who want to be pregnant are incubators?
I.Am.Hooman are you saying woman aren’t human beings? Aren’t a person?
Leah M yes, I’ll tell my mother she’s a person and a human being.
Mathilde Young no, but if you take away a woman’s right to personhood, to her own body because someone needs it. Than you are in fact arguing woman to be incubators rather human beings with a choice and a right that we all have and you want to deny
Man just leave it to the mom, if she want to keep the kid or put them in adoption good for her, if the mom wants to do abortion and let the soul of that child be insidr a different mother than that should be good too, it depends on what you believe, but in all honesty, none of us know the truth. So just let them do that they gotta do
Abortion is murder
What about the dad?
@@bruceneu8588 really you think the father has a say in this day and age ha lol a women can go get an abortion and the man wouldn't know a thing
@@bananaman3536 That is very unfortunate. Thank you for telling me.
@Literal Scumbag yeah and the reason the kid is inside her is because of the man he has as much say what happens to the child just as much as the women if the man wants and abortion and the women says no no abortion if the women wants an abortion and the man says no no abortion simple
Thank you for the work you do and for speaking out for women. ♥️
This is speaking out for murder, sorry.
Eric Day agreed I’m sick of people justifying murder just by using that excuse. Everyone should be pro life especially since there are adoption agencies that will happily take a baby off of your hands.
I was/am having an argument with this dude online who is calling woman murders for having an abortion. And I said the same thing this speaker is saying: women don’t grow up wishing they can have an abortion.
Murders don’t grow up wishing they would murder someone. It is about circumstances. What if you were aborted?
but when they make that choice, they are making the conscious choice to play God in determining if another human should have life. certainly, most women don't want to have an abortion, but they choose to have it. And that choice - is wrong. A right to life is more important than a woman's choice.
@@godslittlegirl Exactly
@@godslittlegirl "a right to life is more important then a woman's choice." And that's what starts misogony /j
@@uncertainity188 If I was aborted I wouldn't know because I would be dead. And right now, being dead sounds amazing
An important topic. Amanda explains the reality that unintended pregnancy is contextualised in women's position in society - we still struggle for gender equality.
Newsflash...cant get pregnant without a man..he has a say.
Sadly, men have no say
You are not opressed. You have all the rights men do
@@nws6146 they shouldn't because they don't get pregnant. At the same time women have no voice about men's body: no woman has the right to impose a vasectomy as a birth control method.
donypina we can disagree on whether a fetus is a life or not. Both sides attribute terrible attributes. One side wants to protect babies and the other women. No mal intent
Thank you. Discussion closed.
An important and powerful message, for the community, educators, and policy-makers.
No it's not lol
Logan Rasmussen yes it’s very important!
This was really good.
It's not good to kill an unborn child.
@@StirlingVideoLounge Actually it very much does make me feel better!
I'm very glad that women who don't want to carry their burdens aren't forced to in this day and age.
After all. Over population is already a problem with humans, and life only breeds more life.
I don't see a problem with getting rid of something you don't want.
While I disagree with the solutions Amanda presents and am on the opposite side of the fence (against abortion & contraception for very personal reasons), I am glad I watched this video. I could pick apart statistics or spout arguments that both sides have heard before. But I think those who watch this talk can agree that women are hurting and deserve to be heard and healed. Amanda simply explains the status quo and what she sees working on the front lines in a very complex environment. I think that no matter what we believe, we can thank her for giving a calm presentation, giving a voice to the women she works with, and calling for conversation on a divisive and sensitive topic.
Jessica Nelson If you have your period, you have just destroyed life and murdered a child. “Reasoning skills 101”
@@alexmcmunn9390 Um, periods happen naturally and with unfertilized eggs, unlike abortions.
@@alexmcmunn9390 eggs don't have functioning dna
Marcia Osullivan that’s not the principal of the thing, ur just trying to finding a way to distinguish them , which has nothing to do with my point. I’m saying both an unfertilized egg and a fertilized one aren’t conscious so why if robbing one of the ability to live, is it not robbing the other of the ability to live. Think of it like this, when a fetus begins to develop it is unconscious of its livelihood, and in some people’s opinions aborting this developing fetus is robbing it of its ability to live, and in a different circumstance a fertile woman and man don’t procreate, so wouldn’t not trying to make a developing fetus be robbing that potential life just as much as not birthing the product of reproduction would? Factually yes. The conclusion I want to draw is, personally, I feel everyone sits around with their flimsy personal morals and attacks each other on their opinions; I look at nature for my answers, and natural law says this: that there is no line where life is created nor destroyed and that while humans like to draw lines and labels to distinguish things, nature doesn’t care about you and nature doesn’t care about morals, so the idea of abortion is bleak and unresolved, and I believe precisely that. You cannot choose a step of the reproduction process to say when life is formed, not initiating the process at all is robbing a life just as much as abortion is.
@@alexmcmunn9390 Then do you think it's ever wrong to have an abortion? If you can't "choose a step of the reproduction process to say when life is formed," is it the same whether you get an abortion in the first or third trimester?And if you're talking about birth control, there are people who are against birth control and abortion, like Catholics, etc.
I fought, internally warred, with self worth, depression and weight. In my childhood, my dad was very critical. Everything was about appearance to him. He constantly oogled women and made comments about their physical attributes to me, even when I was a little girl. So, I grew up thinking women were just objects for men's pleasure. I had very little sense of worth. My heart was 💔. I started battling depression in my teens and wanted to die many times. I developed a warped idea of food and eating, which of course led to an eating disorder. I let men use and abuse me. I had two abortions, one at 19, one at 20. I was a dark, broken, angry, bitter, mess, wrapped in a young woman's body and I plastered a smile on my face for public use so no-one knew the destruction inside. At 30, after going through a divorce from a narcissistic addict who cheated all the time, I was then a single mother of an 18 m/o. At that moment I reached my breaking point and realized I needed help. A friend, who truly cared, asked me why I didn't believe in God and Jesus Christ. I didn't have a good answer...it was simply that I felt I could only trust myself and I doubted there was a God when I looked at all the pain in the 🌎. Not long after our conversation, I heard the Gospel, which is the Good News that Jesus Christ came to earth 2000 years ago, fully God and fully man, to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, so that we could then be counted as God's children here on earth and then for eternity in Heaven. WHOA!! That blew me away....Jesus loves me (and you) so much that he allowed himself to be mocked, ridiculed, BEATEN, and HUNG BY SPIKES AND ROPE ON A ✝, then he was brought back to life by God the Father after three days, spoke to his many disciples and then ascended to Heaven in his glorified body!! AND, He did that as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. All we need to do is believe he is alive, repent of our sins, and pursue him in prayer and in his WORD, the HOLY Bible. Abortion is a sin because its spilling the blood of the innocent lives God created. God wants to forgive us tho and that's why He sent Jesus. Since the moment I said yes to Jesus, he has given me SO much. He healed my ❤ from all the pain and regrets of my life. No more depression or questions about my value. I'm a new creation through Him, and because I chose Him, I'm worthy of God's goodness. He gave me a new life... a new job, a new husband who loves me for me, not what I look like or what I can do for him, a new home, the $ ability to send my child to private school. He blessed me with a 4th child (2 in Heaven, 2 on earth), the college diploma I had worked for but had not received, work promotions/bonuses, and now I'm blessed to be at home and care for my elderly mother and young child. The Lord gives me peace, love, kindness, joy, patience, comfort, strength, and goodness! The Lord is our great councilor if we'll let him. I've never regretted choosing Jesus. He's waiting for you TODAY! He wants to heal you, love you, and be with you for eternity! If you don't know him, I challenge you to just ask Him... Jesus, are you real, are you alive, did you create me, is the Bible your word, etc.??? If you're sincere in your questions, he'll answer you. I pray you don't doubt when He answers you! May God bless you!!
Maybe I'm not going to be a parent but my sister may want to be. She may want to start a family of her own. I want for her to have all the family planning options available to her. Who am I choose for her? I need for her to quickly make choices so she can be her best at "Mommin," raise her whip smart kids, so she can get back to her life without sneaking. It's so much more dangerous when people have to resort to sneaking to terminate a dangerous pregnancy.
Most pregnancies aren't dangerous.... And if they become dangerous doctors can DELIVER the baby early so that no one has to die.
okay
@@Artamentous Episiotomy isn't cutting through the stomach. C sections are a common way to deliver a baby via surgery trough the abdomen.
If the "baby is unsafe" doctors can DELIVER EARLY - there is no reason to kill him/her in the womb and yank him/her out piece by piece.
@@Artamentous An unborn child is a human being, not an unfeeling sack. Not being able to feel pain is irrelevant. It's possible to kill someone without them being able to feel pain. There is a condition where a born person cannot feel pain (called anhidrosis) . Is it OK to kill those people?
Vulnerable human beings (born and unborn) should have human rights - first and foremost a right not to be killed.
@@Artamentous It doesn't affect me if someone across the country kicks a puppy like a football - it's still wrong and abusing cats and dogs should be illegal. Pulling the plug on a person who has zero chance of regaining brain function is different than killing a human being that has a chance at a full and productive life.
Reproductive rights are NOT killing rights!!!! Period
We should be allowed a choice.
@Jcg.413 oh sorry to hear that, if a girl doesn’t want her unborn clump of cells, would you like to adopt it after it is born? You care so much about it, you take care of it.

@Jcg.413 ok look. How about when you have a partner or you yourself (I won’t assume your gender) are expecting, you just don’t make an abortion. Or even adopt. But let those who are expecting to have a choice whether they want it or not

How is a fetus that is hardly alive more important than a full grown human
It’s debatable
@@adrianhernandez1328 wow really
@@user-lr8ow2jg4e because it’s a human life
@P P instead of death penalty let them suffer in places worse than prison
No human being is more important than any other. All are equally important. But what do you mean when you say the fetus is ‘hardly alive’? Does being alive come in degrees, or is it rather a 1-0 thing: either alive or not alive?
From the scientific point of view, a human fetus is a human being from 8 weeks up till birth (earlier developmental stage is an embryo). That human organism begins to exist at fertilisation and continuously grows throughout his/her lifespan that goes way beyond birth.
So, if it’s growing, isn’t it alive?
And if it has human parents, isn’t it a human being?
Abortion continues, and has always been an extremely divisive topic in American society. I appreciated the approach this TED talk took in discussing how women do not WANT to be in a position of having to have an abortion, but they unfortunately are in that position due to their abilities to get pregnant. Although many are in disagreement, there are a lot of reasons to provide women the ability to make that decision on their own. A women should have reproductive autonomy and denial is a violation of reproductive as well as bodily autonomy and rights. Many of the community members who are "pro-life" and anti-abortion are only really pro-fetus, and as soon as that life is born, there is not a lot of support for these women who were not wanting this baby but were forced to deliver it. Due to the vast amount of different scenarios, abortion, and the decision to complete an abortion should be kept private among a person of child-bearing potential and their healthcare worker or physician. As a nation, we have politicized the concept and act of abortion, and this has led to women not having autonomy over their own bodies, as well as children who are born into a society that does not want them. We continue to lack the resources, and help that they need to strive and do not put in efforts in place to fund these specific endeavors. Although it is extremely difficult to separate governmental entities from healthcare due to the necessity of safety of both the physician and the patient, abortion and any women’s health should solely rely upon their own decision, and what the physician thinks is best for them. All women deserve the right to make their own decisions, including the decision of terminating a pregnancy. What can we do as a society to separate women's bodily autonomy from governmental agendas?
A compelling talk that asks some tough questions and shines a light on a topic which some would prefer was left in the shadows - the link between our (unreasonable) expectations regarding reproductive health and gender equality.
Juanita Wheeler this isn’t about gender equality this is about killing babies. Which last time I checked bother girls and boys can be children
How can people make this about gender equality

Abortion should be legal and safe everywhere in the world. End of the discussion.

Stop killing babies because of your irresponsible decisions

@Diana Rmz safe for whom? How can a procedure be called safe if half of the people involved in it are killed?
I will support abortion if it is as safe for the unborn human being as it is for his/her mother.
@@dianalr13 r u actually kidding!? So u justify the killing with having control over a womens choice. A man is told not to murder people. That’s stopping men have choice and it should be legal is what ur saying
Now I want to understand why most first-world/industrialized nations have legalized abortion; and most third-world/developing countries completely banned abortion.
Look at El Salvador--completely banned abortions since 1998--their abortion rate is higher than that of the US.
Here in America and many first-world nations, they actually have a requirement that laws be based on reason and demonstrated effectiveness, not pop morality. No matter what your moral beliefs are, they do not take precedence over other people's rights.
And abortion is a right.
J Sung PREACH!
Agreed
Abortion is a privilege. Not a right.
@@martingeico9171 how!?
What about the fetus’s right to life?
This was amazing. I have to make a speech at school and I’ve chosen to do mine on why abortion should be legalised and accepted. This was very helpful to watch
Killing human beings for convenience is a horrible practice that should never be acceptable. Please do your research for your speech. "right to choose" is a mantra meaning "I want to kill a human being in my womb to make MY life easier. Cause it's all about me, me, me, me, me, OH and me!" Parents should care for their children - born or unborn.
Mathilde Young but people can’t always care for a child. I think for many people it is a convenience thing in a way but also much more. I respect your opinion however.
ok so why should it be legalized and accepted?
@@sharnxo7969 If someone cannot care for a child they shouldn't kill them - before or after birth. They can work with an adoption agency to find the baby a loving home - a home that will provide them with a chance at a ful and productive life.
Mathilde Young if the mother is able to go through the pregnancy I think that’s a wonderful idea. But she may not be able. Or I don’t think it’s right to make her go through with it if she doesn’t want to.
Why didn't she say the word adoption once?
interesting
Because throwing the word adoption around doesn’t solve anything most kids out there don’t get adopted
Because it's unrelated.
@@Necrobadger no, it's another option. Simply have the kid, let it live with a family that desperately wants him/her..
@@colefournel5701 that doesn't happen for most unwanted kids and also a kid could end up being adopted but not suitable for the family so they end up back in the system, some foster families also only use the children for income...I can vouch for this from my own personal life and work experiences
No to the infanticidio. Third trimester pregnancy killings is out of this world. Like every conflict in life starts little by little first they are just cells, then just a foetus and NOW maybe a moving thing in the belly.
Let’s do us a favor and use protection instead.
Not many people are arguing that the majority of pregnancies are planned. I totally agree that the majority are unplanned. The point is that it doesn't matter if it is unplanned. Men and women need to be responsible and deal with the consequences of their actions. That's the point. The message may be compelling, but still fails to prove why abortion is necessary outside of specific cases that only make up 1% of all abortion cases. The 99% need to grow up and take care of their responsiblities. She's not addressing the 99%, only the rare cases in order to promote the bigger point that to her - abortion is okay. It's the same pro-choice violin playing but on a different day by a different person.
Yep. Smh. Playing with womens emotions.
Downfall - please make sense when you reply.
Where are you getting your stats from? The idea that 99 percent of women who have abortions are not being responsible is your personal belief ( thats pretty sad that you view women like that in the first place). The truth is that there are many many reasons why a woman might seek out an abortion and none of them have anything to do with your personal belief. Don't want an abortion, don't get one.....but making an emotional argument based on your belief isn't helping anyone.

@@idkjay_478 it's the woman's body having to grow the foetul tissue though
well the thing is outlawing abortions will NOT stop abortions. it will only push women to have unsafe abortions. if a woman isn’t ready for a baby she will get the abortion, either medical or unsafe way.
I get your concern about women getting unsafe, illegal abortions if abortion were outlawed. I don’t want any women to get hurt, either from legal or illegal abortions. But I have a problem with a statement that says we need to keep it legal to kill smaller people so that it’s safer for bigger people to kill smaller people.
Also I agree some women will still choose abortion even if it’s made illegal. But I also find it hard to believe that all or most women will choose to break the law. Law is not just there to punish people. It is also a teacher of what is right and wrong.
If the law were to do just one thing, it would be to stop us from killing one another, don’t you think?
*sipping tea*
I believe the best thing we can do to combat unwanted pregnancies is to educate everyone about "you know what" and the consequences it can give.
Unfortunately, there are cases where the forced version of "you know what" happens, the baby won't have a very good life, or in some cases if the parent to-be is guaranteed to die if the baby is born, in those cases abortion should be allowed. However, if two people consent and do the act of you know what, and they know the risks, it is probably best if they don't get an abortion. Remember, no form of protection is able to 100% prevent a pregnancy, and it seems like the main reason for "you know what" existing in the first place is to procreate, well no wonder doing so can very well give a baby.
I am african...I relate , powerful message

This was so very different from the typical moral debate on abortion which has gotten boring and repetitive now. Not many talk about the practical side of it, which is, in my opinion the most compelling argument for why abortion should not be criminalised.
by your "logic" taking the life of an unwanted toddler has to be legal if the parent thinks it's "practical"

Ok looks like we have ourselves a interesting "Mandela Effect" topic here. I apologize for going off topic here but this is a interesting situation we have here. In 2007 a Movie called Bucket List was released that had two older gentleman fulfilling items on a to do list that they called the Bucket List. We were told later on that the term Bucket List didnt exist before 2007 the date of the film and it was made up by the writer, this has caused a Mandela Effect to be tagged. A large group of people have claimed that the term did exist before the Movie and how they remember hearing this term on many occasions over the past 20 years are so in their life. But now that after much research the term cannot be found before the release date of the Movie Bucket List in 2007, until now. This video has the term in the title and was posted in 2006 placing it 1 year before the movie, during many searches in Google for this video not to have came up is almost impossible seeing that it is a Ted Talk episode.

Whose body is killed in an abortion?
Mathilde Young an unaware, emotionless fetus with no consciousness nor proven ability to feel pain before 20 weeks. You clearly care more about a fetus than the millions of starving children around the world with no real parents.
jazmin arnold it’s not ur body it’s a seperate body
@@vanessalang4843 How do you know Mathilde cares more about a fetus than starving children?
While a fetus may not have consciousness before 20 weeks, it is developing consciousness.
Short Why do you assume they don’t care about starving children just by asking who gets killed during an abortion? Why does the pro choice side always go straight to attacking a straw man every time they encounter someone with a different opinion?
Most of us know that there are many situations and reasons why women get abortions. I notice she did not even touch on the science or procedure of an abortion at all. If you are going to support and encourage abortion as an option, you need to be comfortable and open with explaining and showing what exactly it is and how it works. Just because someone may think they have a valid reason for committing a certain action does not mean that the action itself is moral/right.
And there are some women who have no idea what happens, in the procedure. How somtimes the child is ripped piece by piece from the mother. How sometimes organs are harvested and sold. This is a sick world we live in. The very weakest of our society we throw away. Maybe God should just start all over, because this is very sad.
Depends how you look at it. Will that action overall benefit everyone or only yourself? No one can truly decide what is moral or right in life, just on the perspective of the person who's going through it.
@@ericday4505 If we routinely 'threw away' the weakest people, then we would offer far less hospital and nursing-home care to sick and elderly people than we currently do.
This isn't a biology lesson. She was creating awareness
Hello BriGuy89, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic. I am hope you found the speaker as impactful as I did. It is important to recognize that there are many reasons a woman gets an abortion including medical, financial, and personal reasons. While some people like you may disagree about the decision to have an abortion, it is essential to respect each individual’s right to make choices about their own body and healthcare decisions. Bodily autonomy is the right to make individual decisions about their own body and have control over what happens to it. This principle is rooted in the principle of bodily autonomy, that everyone has the right to make decisions about their body without interference from others. The beautiful thing about being a human is that we all have unique moral principles that are guiding us. Multiple factors like our age, education level, or religious beliefs can affect our guiding principles. Just because you wouldn’t get an abortion because it goes against your moral code doesn’t mean other people should not be afforded that right. As highlighted in this ted talk, getting an abortion is a personal decision that should be made between a woman and her health care provider. Regarding the research on the safety and technique of an abortion- it is a medical procedure that is safe and effective when performed by a trained healthcare provider. The specific details of the procedure may vary depending on the stage of pregnancy and individual circumstances, but it is a common misconception that abortions are dangerous or harmful to women's health. In fact, research has shown that complications from abortion are rare and the procedure is safer than childbirth. Many researchers have shown that the risks associated with childbirth are much higher than an abortion, the risk of death associated with childbirth is 14 times greater than with an abortion (Raymond EG, Grimes DA. The comparative safety of legal induced abortion and childbirth in the United States. Obstet Gynecol. 2012;119(2 Pt 1):215-219. , Gerdts C, Dobkin L, Foster DG, Schwarz EB. Side effects, physical health consequences, and mortality associated with abortion and birth after an unwanted pregnancy. Womens Health Issues. 2016;26(1):55-59., Bartlett LA, Berg CJ, Shulman HB, et al. Risk factors for legal induced abortion-related mortality in the United States. Obstet Gynecol. 2004;103(4):729-737.). As you can see from the articles listed, many researchers have validated this fact through different research studies.
I just think it's sad to know that abortions have to exist, that doesn't mean I hate it outright. I just think it's sad that it happens. Look into the risks of it and be as safe as you can.
So powerful thank you

So sorry to hear you didn’t have any responsible man supporting you. That’s not empowering.
It’s so frustrating to keep hearing how reproduction and pregnancy are merely women’s issues. They clearly aren’t, because no woman would even get pregnant without a man involved. And when a woman faces unplanned pregnancy, she is meant to “make a choice” that doesn’t seem like much of a choice, really.
this was a lovely speech. i am so thankful for this insight. i almost cried.

I do think regular responsible use of condoms would prevent many unwanted pregnancies. You do have control over getting pregnant for the most part.
Birth control can fail, financial situations can turn in a blink of an eye, and kids aren't being educated.

Nahhh
Am I the only person who thinks abortion should only be given if the person never consented to you know what or if the baby is guaranteed to have a bad life?
All good FLE classes teach this, no matter what protection you use, there is always a risk from you know what. Isn't the main purpose of "you know what" is to get a child? If you willingly do this act and think there is no chance of the merging of genetic material happening, then I am really confused as to what brought you to this conclusion.
I believe much of the reason is due to lack of education on the subject, teachers just dance around the issue and don't explain the possible consequences or long-term effects... the future adults of this planet need to know before making a possibly life-ruining mistake. This goes for diseases from "you know what" too, people willing do this act and then are surprised to know they have a disease. Education is key, most people just don't know what they're getting into.
I get why people want everyone woman the option to abort any baby, but I think if we educate people on you know what then there a lot will be less need for it. Unfortunately, some situations do come up where it was forced or if it was willing, but some harmful genetic mutations come up... for those cases abortion should be completely legal.

She talks about how pregnancy can't be controlled. But isn't that exactly what abortion is about? Controlling whether you remain pregnant or not? Instead of dealing with and accepting what happened. So she's right, pregnancy can't be controlled. Just not in the way she's saying. Sad she can't see the irony in that.

This hurts cause I’m pro life because my mom almost had an abortion on me and I cried when she told me that I felt a bitneglected
You're pro-life because you were almost aborted? Think about the pain and struggles that your mom had to go through when she was pregnant. While pregnancy can be a beautiful thing, it's not easy. If my mom wanted to abort me - she should've had every right to do so. I would never force my mother to bring a child into this world unless she wanted to. I would never wish childbirth on someone who doesn't want it. Every woman should have a right to her body, and every decision that she makes with her body should be by her choice. I would be absolutely miserable if I were forced by law to have kids. Nobody should have to live a miserable life because they were forced to have a child that they didn't want. If you think about it this way, having kids requires so much responsibility and willpower. If your mother has given you a good life, why not be grateful? She decided that she wanted to bring you in this world, that's what matters. Deciding to have a child when unplanned requires a lot of thought, and ultimately she decided to have you. I can understand being upset with her if she is not a good parent to you - but being upset with her because she wasn't sure she wanted to bring you into this world is a bit unreasonable because in the end, she decided that she wanted you.
Mia Lynn I said I felt neglected but I meant in that moment but she is not like that she is hard working and I admire her cause she’s been through so much pain even since her childhood and I want to do my best to get a great job so I can pay her back for everything and that’s my only dream it’s to give her everything she wants not just because she gave birth to me but also because she was still there for me even when no one was ever there for her. I’m pro life cause everyone deserves to have a chance to live so they can see the goodness of Jesus who died for us even though we could never pay back what he did for us. 😊

And yet, if it's just an abortion for convenience' sake, then why don't you have it and give it up for adoption if you don't want one or can't take care of one?
Victoria Odegaard Do you realize how many children are in orphanages? It’s overcrowded. And to go through the pain of labor for a child she didn’t even want? If the man wants a child, let her have time. Or go get someone else pregnant.
What if you have a baby developing in you, but in a few months find out when you give birth the baby will be dead. It will be born without a heart, lungs, or skull. Well you can say give birth to it normally it will be dead anyways, but what if carrying it to term caused more grief. The longer you carry the more connected to that baby you are.
Do you realize how taxing and dangerous a pregnancy can be on a woman's body? I've almost lost several friends for a wide variety of reasons.
because maybe we DONT want to ruin our bodies, our life, for one mistake
Because I refuse to go through the pain and indignity of childbirth if it's a child I don't want. I will only go through the pain of childbirth if I want that baby.
I just had a niece, she is being raised in a healthy household and my sister loves her very much. I just want to point out not every single abortion is necessary if you love your niece, your daughter, your son and so one, some families actually give their baby a wonderful life to live. I say this because everybody shouldn’t just give up their baby for abortion because they think they’ll grow up suffering, it’s not always like that. I went through adoption too, it wasn’t that bad, it was hopeful and glad I got adopted, setting your child for adoption isn’t hard either or cause suffering, it worked greatly for me getting adopted and I found peace in life, so don’t think setting your child for adoption is going to make your child suffer, like stop making all these negative excuses.
I'm glad everything turned out well for u 👍
That's you though I have lived a life on the other side of that coin and it's not pretty
0:56 interesting how the word abortion is spoken so much quicker than its immediate predecessor, unplanned pregnancy. This subtle use of language indicates a discomfort in saying the word "abortion", which it should, because it's taking the life of a human being and that is very shameful.
At the end of the day it's still a human child. A woman's rights don't change that.

@@user-pi5xo4og9d What is the point?
She spends most of the video talking about all the reasons why someone may become pregnant when they didn't want to. But she doesn't give one reason why it is justified to dismember, poison or starve another human being to death. I didn't want to get pregnant, and yeah, it was really difficult for a ton of reasons. I was still in school, neither one of us had a job, there was abuse from multiple people, we had only met a few months ago, (and yes, to whomever mentioned medication, I was on 4 different medications for depression, which I had to cut back to one for awhile, although that is FAR from a common reason people give for having abortions), But you know what else is hard, having a 5 year old. And yet there has never been a point in time when I would have had the right to end my son's life, nor would there ever be a circumstance in which that would be justifiable.
I love this. May God bless you.
Next time pay attention instead of cherry picking
@laurena there are plenty of born children who don't have good lives, or may not in the future. But killing them to prevent their potential future suffering is not an acceptable solution. Neither is killing younger children who may be in unfortunate situations the answer.
@Wesley Heartland "terminating the pregnancy" is just a euphemism for ripping the limbs off of, disemboweling, decapitating, starving, or inducing a heart attack by injecting digoxin into the heart or brain of another human being's body.
@Wesley Heartland the majority of abortions are suction D&C's, in which the preborn human is torn to shreds through a catheter.
