I would personally never have an abortion, but no woman should be forced to undergo a pregnancy, my heart goes out to any woman placed in such a situation
Yunus Ahmed perhaps I am, but that's because it isn't my job to judge what a woman does with HER body. I wouldn't do it personally, but EVERY woman should have that choice. And to not allow her that choice is FORCING her to continue the pregnancy.
Yunus Ahmed 1. until the fetus can survive outside of the womb on it's own, yup, sure is a part of her body. Until then, it's on par with a parasite, draining the nutrients it receives from the host--this is merely used as an example, to give you an idea of what I mean. In fact, in many places (including New York, for example) a fetus is not considered a person under the law until it draws a first breath, giving it no rights under the law. 2. Because it's the wrong choice for me. I have the support system I would need to take care of a baby, many women don't. 3. Again, it is not our place to judge or impose restrictions on a living breathing woman's body just because she has a fetus--which cannot survive outside of the womb alone--inside of her

Yunus Ahmed 1. so you wouldn't seek treatment for, say, hook worm? ring worm? How about ticks or bed bugs? 2. I already explained why it's the wrong choice for ME. And why should an already crowded and broken system be further packed with children who may likely stay in the system their whole lives? Babies are in high demand, sure, but what about the fact that they DO eventually grow? with eachyear, the likelihood of adoption or fostering grows slimmer and slimmer. 3. Admit it, you only care about a fetus until it is born. After that? "Sorry, kid, you're on your own!"
You should check your facts Before you make an ignorant statement. The body do actually make "abortions" (miscarriages) on its own, sometimes even if the woman and the embryo/fetus is healthy. The opposite can also happen, that the pregnant woman or the embryo/fetus is not healthy, yet the pregnancy continues on. That can lead to the Death of the Children and/or mother. However, I'd say that both your statement, even if it was right, and my answer isn't rlly relative to this debate as we humans do tons of things which is not "natural", both bad and good things.
I agree, I feel like this is subtlely trying to discourage abortion. It doesn't mention that later term abortions are usually only carried out for medical reasons. It's more reasonable than most though.
Claes Svensson I think it's because most people know enough about the risks of getting a baby but not about the risks of getting an abortion. They might not think about the abortion enough and just want to get "rid of that thing" inside of them. Just my theory ^^
on that perspective yes, but if you're not ready to get married, it's going to be a freaking nightmare, and the child it's going to pay for that, what kind of family it's going to be if you're fighting with your husband or wife most of the time, some even end up blaming the child for having to get married. it's certainly not a good environment to grow up in. I know money is necessary but it's not the most important thing, rather than getting married, talk to the other parent to see if you have support both emotionally and financially, and if not, that's another story, you can raise a child without being married, well it is easier in my country, I don't know if it's the same in other places with social security, insurance and all that.
@@vanessarose7491 They seem to imagine that we're still in medieval times where a woman can die of giving birth, ignoring that medicine has more than advanced to ensure that even high risk pregnancies are survivable. They take a feminist stance yet paint women as being so fragile as to perish after having a baby. The hypocrisy is laughable.
Crystal Evans killing babies is worst evil to exist, there is never ever a need to even be pregnant when you can use contraceptives, go and watch a first, second and third trimester abortion then tell your mother thank you
I took the pills a few days ago after going to planned Parenthood. I was 9 weeks along. One more week and I would have been too far along and have to undergo a surgical one. This was one of the hardest things I had to go through. But I could barely afford the abortion, let alone a baby. The tissue and baby did pass through me at home after taking the pills. I cried and cried. Still I knew it was what I needed to do. Im glad I had the choice. But it's something I will never make myself experience again. It was my fault for being so reckless with sex. I don't judge anyone who has had an abortion. It's people who abuse it and have multiple left and right without a care that bothers me.
@@terriusthomas1146 I love how you use strong emotionally charged language as if pro choicers are the only ones who feel strongly about their points. As if pro lifers don't also share the same disgust but for different reasons.
"Marriage could be the best option" umm no people can coparent successfully withput being married, being married just for the sake of a baby isnt healthy!!! Oh and dont forget about postpartum depression!!
@Lizzie Allen there isnt anything wrong with that but being married for the sake of a child isnt healthy, also what about people who get divorced or become widowed? Or same sex couples? The world isnt as black and white as you think
Hmm. I like how no one even mentions that this video showed a baby being ripped apart. (If anyone argues that a fetus is not a baby, anything with a heartbeat is alive, as this video it's self shows, so?)
Amelia DahWolf Pull the plug not pull it apart piece by piece like it's nothing. Early abortions and contraceptives are the best options. There really is no excuse for surgical abortions as by then most women know their bodies and know they're pregnant...
_Serenity I hope you do realize that it is illegal in most states to intentionally pull apart a fetus as it serves as a health risk for the woman. Stop bringing up problems that aren't active today.
Our opinions have no effect on the women who are having, going to have,avoiding or deciding against abortion. Its happening whether we like it or not. It has 0 % influence on their our lives. Thank you
But its a scientific fact - From the moment of conception human development begins, the brain even, pain receptors are developing and even when born they are still developing.
If someone doesn't want a baby they should have an abortion. How fun would it be for a child to grow up in a home where their parents doesn't love them? And if the parents doesn't have money to raise a child? Is it okay to have a child go hungry? "Put it up for adoption" Yeah. But if nobody had abortions we'd have more children than homes for all of them. But most of the "Pro life" people don't care ones the babies as born. Then its not their problem anymore.
+4ElementGirl First world problems. in war torn countries people adopt without giving a second thought. Why in a land of such bounty people are selfish?
Who said the baby would have a bad life? You did. Plenty of great men and women have come out of the worst places. You don't know how much you just bent logic by saying what you just said. I get it, maybe the kid commits suicide when he's fifteen and dies like he would have if he just would have been aborted... but there's also a good chance that this kid could have a better life than you do. We don't know which fetus is going to do what in the future. We are not telepathic. And by killing all of them and reasoning it with, "he was going to have a sucky life anyway" is putting yourself in a god-like position. You're determining the value of someone else's life, guess who else did that? Hitler. He said that jews were inferior and needed to die... so he killed them, deeming them unworthy of life... hey... isn't that what YOU just did? Said it was't worthy? And yes I do care about orphans. I donate to the three angels charity that benefits an orphanage in Haiti. Us conservatives give more than people on the left do. Either because liberals are broke, going broke, or college students. Or maybe they just like attempting to make fun of conservatives but then falling flat on their face when they realize that they should be made fun of.
I understand what you're trying to say, but there are plenty of loving couples who would be thrilled to adopt. And just because someone doesn't want to keep their baby doesn't give them a right to kill it. Like, imagine how stupid it would be if you had a toddler and they were annoying you and you were poor so you decided to kill it. That would be crazy. The only reason people don't look at abortion the same way is because it's out of sight out of mind.
Having an abortion is the best thing to do for someone under 25, without a job. Have all the children you want, when you got a stable job. Please girls, be smart, do not welcome misery because of people (family, friend, religious figure) who will not pay your rent, your grocery, your bills. Do not let yourself get trapped in a relationship because of a child. Make a baby when you are financially stable, and mentally mature. Peace & Love
Yasmina Derid Respectfully, our justice system is built on getting involved in other people’s lives when they are not making moral decisions. Should we overlook murder, for example, in cases where it does not involve us? Just because the consequences aren’t ours to bear doesn’t mean we shouldn’t stand up for what is right. If a mother killed her own toddler in her own house, would you consider this murder even though it’s her own house and her own child? Her house, her child, her choice... right? Babies have detectable heartbeats from 5.5-6 weeks old, and detectable movements from about 6-8 weeks in. A lady who helped run Planned Parenthood made a movie called ‘Unplanned’ where she talked about seeing a baby moving and trying to fight the vacuum which sucked it up/killed it. There are also many instances of aborted babies who are born alive, and some even stay alive and develop into normal human beings... so how can you say that they are not a living human being, if the same organism which is legal to be killed in the womb can exist independently outside the womb? I’m saddened that our culture has brainwashed society, and worst of all mothers, into thinking that they’re not actually killing their child. All life has value-please remember that❤️
Sienna Hermary it’s selfish to have a baby you can’t support therefore your argument isn’t justified in this context. Maybe you think you are saving lives by saying this but your opinion has no ownership over someone else’s body, you might as well be shaming people🙄please be a bit more open-minded and consider the situations many people are in🤍
Rielle H Thank you for your reply💛 I would consider myself a pretty open-minded person, but I can not find any good justification in this situation despite hearing various arguments. I do understand that people face difficult situations where they are not prepared for a child... one of my closest friends actually got his girlfriend pregnant at 17 years old and they made the decision to take responsibility for their actions and have the baby, even if they would have to put it up for adoption. It’s a very slippery slope to say that not being able to support a baby is justification enough to ‘terminate’ them. If your parent had dementia or some other illness and was a ‘burden’ on you because they had to live with you and rely on you financially, do you have the right to kill them? No; thus, the value of a human life does not depend on how much someone’s life is a convenience or inconvenience to those around them. Personally, I don’t find it selfish to have a baby that you can’t support because you can put that baby up for adoption, and therefore the responsibility to support that child transfers over to the adopted parents. If this were merely a woman’s body, I would understand what you are saying. But all science shows that the organism growing inside that woman is separate from the woman itself; if not, are we saying that a woman has 2 hearts since the heart of the baby and the heart of the mother beat separately? I’m not shaming people who don’t know better, because they genuinely don’t realize that they are killing their own child; what I am shaming is that society is portraying abortion as a saving grace, making mothers (along with the rest of society) think this is okay. It’s not only sad because a baby is killed/‘terminated’, but also because mothers are losing their own children without even realizing it.💛
Sienna Hermary You keep making “If” scenarios that are incomparable to the situation you are trying to find common ground and like morals when there is no comparison at all. Technically, no one is a parent until the baby is physically born... then giving the baby human life value (that’s why parents who murder their children actually face trial etc.) Mothers and other people alike may think otherwise about when and what they view is a child or a baby when it’s just an embryo or a fetus bc there are many different situations, personal experiences, and opinions, but there is not enough explanation and comparisons in the world that could validate that your opinions have more sensibility than those who have their own as well and can make their own decisions. Abortions may not be okay, but it’s an option. Just like adoption may not be okay but is also an option, and just how making the decision to keep the pregnancy to term and raising the baby may not be okay but is also an option.
I was considering abortion too due to difficult circumstances I'm in, no financial help and will be most likely a single parent too. I'm now 14 weeks, seen the baby move on the scan and saw the beating heart and now I can't bring myself to an abortion knowing that the baby's limbs will be ripped out one by one. That's terrifying.
Pls to all! Keep ur babies!!! No matter what difficulty’s you have to face right now ... non of them is worth to kill your baby! You all can do it and make it! Trust me, one day you will look in the Eyes of your Child and know that it’s worth!
the slut shaming that goes on in videos like these are crazy, and it's always the women it's their fault for not "closing their legs" like they can impregnate themselves, men play just the same role of importance they should all so be responsible to wrap it before they tap it it's not all the girls fault
@@88feji I think theyre just saying a fact. Not to threat people to not have an abortion, wether youre pro choice or pro life, we know that abortion pillss, or any types of abortion can harm women. Wether it will be perform by professional abortionist
My cousins story: She accidentally got pregnant when she was 21. She was becoming a future doctor and had a great life ahead of her. But she was born with a hole in her heart, which could be deadly when giving birth. My cousins was scared. She wanted children but later, and she didn't want to kill herself. After she learned the baby was very unhealthy, she was horrified. In the end, she got an abortion because she didn't want to die. Today, her heart is much healthier and lives with her husband and now she can have kids!
this is why abortions should be legal so women have a chance when they are left with a bad situation whether the pregnancy is deadly or she was raped it needs to be there so they can live
I'm looking for a hysterectomy. Idk. It just depends on what you feel is right. I suggest you talk to a doctor about it. The best option if you do wind up pregnant is to go for a chemical abortion (pills) in the early stages - always keep on top of it and take tests after unprotected sex. The earlier you catch it the better - for everyone. If you are sexually active with men I suggest you keep on top of a good contraceptive plan and if there are any issues or uncertainties, just take the test to be sure. Plan B is always available if you need it. If you end up pregnant after all means to prevent it are taken, immediately go to a doctor and consider your steps from there. A youtube commenter can't really know what's best for your individual health from one post. I can only provide tips and information on birth control and abortion methods. Which options you choose are wholly dependent on you and your body. -sincerely, someone with a jacked up uterus as well.
Disclaimer: this is my option. If you share it congrats, if you don't, don't be a jerk. Also this is long so bear with me. If a women is a victim of rape, and she gets a baby out of the whole situation, she's going to hate the child. Most victims are going to see the child as an awful reminder of the thing that happened to them. A mother should always love a child and care for them, but if she can't or won't then it's a bad environment for the baby, so it's better to abort it then to hate the whole process. If it's a teen pregnancy, something like this could ruin their lives. Most school drop out cases are of teenage pregnancy, so if they chose to drop out to take care of the baby they could possibly miss out on graduating, or not get the education needed to have a good job. Also if they are unable to get into collages due to their lack of education they'd need to take on all this extra crap excluding the baby and you could see how hard it would be for them. The baby isn't even born yet, it's not going to make it so the world will stop producing babies if some people chose to have an abortion, so it's stupid that some people would be totally against it and not see the reasoning. I know they could have the baby and put them up for adoption, but that's another whole big thing. You have to fill out papers, choose a good couple for the baby, make sure they are good parents, fill out more papers, and you still have to go through the trauma of one day the baby maybe wants to see his birth mother, so there is a chance they will come back and it's a big huge deal. Plus with teen pregnancy, the teen would still have to go through the morning sickness and the gaining weight, when kids aren't ready for that. It's taking a lot away from kids and imprinting bad memories on rape victims. It's not that bad of a thing since the baby isn't already born yet, and probably hasn't even developed most of its functions yet. So before you choose to 'Raise awareness' of abortion, it's sometimes needed to make somebody's life less horrible.
the baby has a birth defect. Not that I agree with it necessarily, but a lot of people think women with zika virus should have the right to a late term abortion if their child gets microcephaly
Some women develop complications which makes the pregnancy dangerous, or sometimes the baby will have health problems which would greatly reduce their quality of life.
If a woman has complications from the pregnancy, doctors can deliver the baby early. Abortion is never necessary to save the woman's life. "Protection of the life of the mother as an excuse for an abortion is a smoke screen. In my thirty-six years in pediatric surgery I have never known of one instance where the child had to be be aborted to save the mother's life." C. Everett Koop, former U.S. Surgeon General. As far as health problems for the baby, ultrasounds have been wrong before and healthier than expected babies born. It's wrong to kill newborns that are born with birth defects .It's wrong to kill unborn children with birth defects too.
I was talking to my mom and she said she would support my decision no matter what. If I want to be a parent or want to have an abortion. She said money shouldn't have to play of my decision making cause family always shows up and supports. My mom is a pro-life supporter but she respects my values.
i’m seriously conflicted on where i stand with pro-life & pro-choice. my boyfriend and i don’t want a baby anytime soon and of course i have the birth control implant, so we’re absolutely being safe, but if i became pregnant somehow, i would be terrified & really don’t think i’m stable mentally or financially to support a baby. of course i would feel horrible killing my baby even in the early stages, but i would never want to bring them into the world where they won’t have a stable life. it seems horrible either way.
@@CountSnackula7 I was adopted and would rather have been aborted. I would feel so much worse giving birth to an unwanted baby then getting a simple abortion and living free.
the heart injection doesnt just stop the heart, it also burns the babys body alive. the baby can also live through it, and it can cause you to go into labor and deliver the baby anyways. which means the baby has permanent damage
No, it's can't and no, the injection does not 'burn the baby' it's a heart stopping drug similar to what they use in lethal injections for death row inmates. No burning, no surviving. Please look up your facts on non-biased sites.
im actually a healthcare major and have studied these things in my textbooks, most recently in my pharmacology class. unless those textbooks are wrong, that is what the saline does, and i find textbooks more reliable than the web
saline is the most commonly injected because it works very quickly and theyve actually watched it on ultrasound before and the baby will squirm until the heart does finally stop
A happily pregnant woman may feel love for her fetus as a special and unique human being, a welcome and highly anticipated member of her family. She names her fetus, refers to it as a baby, talks to it, and so on. But an unhappily pregnant woman may view her fetus with utter dismay, bordering on revulsion. She cannot bring herself to refer to it as anything other than "it," much less a human being. She is desperate to get rid of this unwelcome invader, and when she does, she feels tremendous relief. Both of these reactions to a fetus, and all reactions in between, are perfectly valid and natural. Both may even occur in the same woman, years apart.
Yes, and the first loving response is a godly one, while the response where the mother regards it as a non-person is exactly the way Satan wants you to think of it. Don't be deceived. It's easier to murder a fetus, rather than thinking of it as it really is, a real human baby.
if it's not your body it's not your problem society has a way of trying to control what women do with their bodies and try to justify it by playing the "murder,heartless" card when the truth is that they can't do anything because it's not their body if you want to have an abortion,do it if you want a baby, do it. but don't let other people's opinions affect your life.
The baby is a distinct human being growing in the mom's womb. It is not the mom's body. To kill the baby is murder. There is one of the Ten Commandments God gave to us as human beings that says: Thou shalt not murder. For vs Wade was an erroneous Supreme Court decision. There is no right to murder in the Bible or IS Constitution. I pray that God reveal this to you.

Sienna Hermary lolll I 100% get where you’re coming from but it’s not murder. The fetus isn’t alive. Also it’s injected with something to stop its heart before it’s vacuum. Good try with the sympathy card, next time get your facts straight. xx 😘 🤭😗👄✨💫🧚🏾♀️
It isn't that much complex, in fact. The fetus is too far from being a human to put his rights over the ones from the woman and, very importantly, over his own potential future rights (as most unwanted pregnancies over the world end up in quite bad living conditions for the child, the mother and, usually, many other people involved). It's as simple as that. Also, as a biologist, it's quite evident that an early fetus, which is almost equal to that of any other mammal, has nothing to do with a human child. If it was about potential, then we should also protect sperm and ova, which have just the same potential. That being said, we still should protect it from suffering, as that doesn't interfere with the abortion, which is why they all should be done within the first trimester of gestation. Too add more to it, abortions will always happen in big quantity, no matter if it's legal or not. Many women die or get seriously injured due to that. That blood is entirely on anti-abortists.

you're more likely to die from giving birth than from having an abortion. and giving birth/having a child can also come with alot of physcial and psychological health issues.
Some people believe that having an abortion and ending a child’s life will solve their problems. And in the immediate present, it may appear that the problems have been erased. But there are many short term and long term side effects.
Same with pursuing a pregnancy and adopting out the baby that leaves trauma for a lifetime so shut up. And two keeping and parenting a baby alone most of the time is the case, is not healthy for the moms mental health if she never wanted the baby in the first place she will feel obligated and not happy truly or present with anything
If my birth control fails, the condoms slips/breaks, the morning after pill fails, I enjoy knowing that there’s an option for me if I choose to not have a child.
Then don’t have sex. If you cannot handle the maturity level necessary to deal with the outcome of sexual activity, you shouldn’t be participating. That’s simply irresponsible.
Im speaking as someone who has had a termination, i had the tablet form at 7weeks in and later found out at nearly 5 months in that it had failed! i bled and heavy with clots, everything you would expect if miscarrying! im now the mother of a healthy little girl i chose not to go through with a late term after my tablets had failed, my message to all women if you have tablet form go for a scan after to check it has worked, and think about the risks and a back up plan if it doesnt go according to plan i am very pleased now that mine did'nt but a baby is not for everyone, but not enough is mentioned about what happens for women when these tablets fail! I was lucky and my beautiful little girl is fit n well weight 9lbs8oz at birth but i worried sick my whole pregnancy incase id damaged her, i was told most that are damaged as a result pass away in the womb before they are born, my midwife had seen a few cases through out her career and that the babies had bern born ok and fit and well, but there us not enough mentioned about when abortions fail.
Remember: feelings and circumstances change! Temporary feelings and circumstances are never a justifiable reason to kill your baby. Dismembering a living, wiggling baby limb from limb...it's truly barbaric. Taking the pills and expelling the deceased baby into the toilet...that's not humane either and extremely traumatic. Think about the life of your son or daughter. You CAN be a good mother even if your pregnancy is unplanned. You may be scared now, but think about never being able see your child's face or watch them grow up and make THEIR own choices. Having an abortion deprives them of the rest of their life and deprives you of a relationship with your living child. The reality is that having an abortion doesn't just make you "unpregnant" it makes you the mother of dead child :( If you recognize the humanity of your child, you will be haunted by choosing abortion. Even with unplanned pregnancies, mothers are SO glad they chose life. They would never wish they could go back in time and abort their sweet baby. But MANY women wish they could go back in time and save their baby from being killed by abortion! This is my wish for all pregnant mothers -- that you cherish that life you and your partner chose to create whether it was planned or not
I would not have an abortion, personally. For moral beliefs mainly. I know what I'm getting myself into when I choose to have sex with someone. But, another woman may not feel the same way I do about babies and pregnancy, I can't stop them from making life choices. It's on their responsibility and conscience. I think abortion is absolutely disgusting and wrong, but it's just my opinion.
Exactly! Finally someone understand. Like, why kill the baby for your problems? That's like saying you kill your best friend because your boyfriend had sex with you and got you pregnant.
Lol it's not like saying that at all, most abortions are done early on, and it implies getting rid if something that would develop into a human being because of inconvenience or trauma. It's still not a live being and it's inside your own body, so it's not like killing someone (much less your best friend) at all.
Coming from someone who is pro-choice (but has been forced to suffer a prolonged amount of these pro-life videos for research purposes) I can say quite easily that both sides have moral backing, and the pro-lifers have stronger moral backing, even. They most certainly are caring. Keep in mind they think that the baby is a human, and not an object or animal- so they view it as murder. Saying they are not caring is essentially sticking out your tongue and screaming that, "IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME, YOU'RE A PSYCHOPATH!"
Both side are caring people with moral values, they just have different way to care. They don't have the same point of view and they dont care about the same fact. The woman who got abortion dont view their fetus as object or animal, they see it as fetus, a start of an unwanted baby. Some people like to be extreme by viewing abortion as murder or forced pregnancy as torture. But that is no help for pregnant woman who try to figured out what to do, with their unplanned pregnancy.
My mom was pregnant with another baby before me. Apparently he had some problems and my mom decided to go through abortion. As for my parents, they simply couldn't afford two kids at that time. So if they decided to keep that baby, they would be stuck with him for life. I couldn't imagine how different their life would be if abortion wasn't an option. They wouldn't be as happy as they are now, the baby would suffer, and I wouldn't even be here. Sure abortion has a lot of psychological and physical effects on women, but it is other people's choice. By banning abortion, you're also banning people's right to choose how they want to live their life.
Abortion kills a living human being. I don’t give a shit it you want to live your life a certain way. Unless your life is in danger, there is no reason for abortion. I can’t believe this is still an argument. Abortionists have admitted that a fetus is a living human baby and science has proven that life starts at conception.
If you're young, you're probably not in a good place financially. If you're pregnant, do you really want to be in debt your whole life and your dreams shattered?
When I found out about my pregnancy I was basically shocked and very upset! I was distraught and screamed and cried in the Drs office…so much so that my Dr. told me that I did not have to be a mother and honestly…those words brought me great comfort at that time. I was told to go to another Dr. as my Dr. no longer delivered kids…ok so I found out that I was actually 7weeks old and because of the circumstances I just thought I did not want to have a baby…I love children and always said that if I were to get pregnant …I would keep the baby regardless of the circumstances…however, now being in the situation…I looked for a way out…even though I thought about not keeping the baby…I was told to go to get the procedure done early because it was in the early stages…after crying for days…and talking to friends n family…I began to feel somewhat better but still was very upset as the pregnancy was not planned and I always thought I would plan…to make a long story short…the Dr. called me to figure out y I had not come back to get the procedure done because she gave me a certain date where if I waited past that date…I would have to go towards surgery instead of suction…but when I spoke to the representatives of the Dr. I told them that I was not going to abort. They asked me if I were sure and I told them yes…I had looked up the stages of fetal development and saw that at 7weeks the baby has eyebrows, fingernails, a heart beat and everything…I was so surprised to learn this because the Dr. said it was nothing more than a clump of cells…when I learned of this and thought about the fact that I really was just "scared" I decided to have my baby. I talked to my child inside of me and apologized to him or her for thinking not to keep him or her…to date…my daughter is yrs old. I am so happy with her and love her so very much! I can not believe my thoughts to not keep her and often dread the idea of what I could have done…having a baby is very personal and I think every mother has a right to decide what she wants but I tell you ….you must really think about it because regret and sorrow from a "quick decision" can haunt you for years. I thank God I had my child and I love love love being a mom! It is such a beautiful and rewarding decision…may God be with all the woman who have to make such decisions…I am in no position to judge…I just pray that they make the right decision for themselves…having a baby is not the end of the world!!! For me…it was the only the beginning of my world…and such a beautiful world it is! Peace and May God bless!
I REALLY don't think abortion should be an option, unless the mother is at high risk for complications or death due to health problems or an ectopic pregnancy
Candy Walton Yes, c-section is an option if the mother's far along in her pregnancy (at least 23 weeks), but if she's very early in her pregnancy, c-section will most likely kill the child
I've recently considered abortion and I've watched tons of videos to help me make a decision, but this one stood out. I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks, and after watching this video I couldn't stop crying over how an abortion was done. I couldn't stomach doing that to my baby. My pregnancy was unplanned, I was unwed, I'm from a Muslim family and the father is Christian, I have a mechanical valve and I was told I would have to inject myself twice a day with blood thinners to protect the baby.... I was also told this would be a very high risk pregnancy because the injections protect the baby but that I'm at risk for developing a blood cloth which can be fatal to me (the oral medication I've been taking my whole life are safe for me but harmful to the baby). This caused me to have several panic attacks that led to multiple trips to the ER all during the first 6 weeks. Not much was going well for me; I have a phobia of needles, just the thought of telling my Muslim family would litteraly cause me to be sick and the stigma associated to my situation in my community, I was scared of possibly developing a blood cloth and potentially losing my life, the father hasn't been always great to me during our relationship, and some of his emotional abuse has led me to be clinically depressed and I've unfortunately harmed myself on multiple occasions because of it, I don't have any savings, and he's worse off than me financially... Despite all these challenges I was gonna have to face if I decide to keep the baby, the thought of never being able to forgive myself and possibly be traumatised for life if I went through with the abortion seemed more scary. The first 6 weeks have been the worst moments of my life: going back and forth between keeping it and having an abortion. I decided to inject myself twice a day, I've shared with some of my siblings and my mother (person I was scared of the most) and they've been supportive for the most part, but its been a hard road with them, the father came around somewhat... When I had my first ultrasound at week 6 and 3 days, I was told my baby had a heartbeat, and at that moment I've finally decided that I had to delete "abortion" from my thoughts and leave it all in God's hands. I'm now 8 weeks and 2 days, and I hope me and my baby make it out safe. I pray for any women going through what I've experienced. It's not an easy decision but you'll make the best decision for yourself.
It's great you were able to make the choice that you wanted. I wish you all the best and hope you manage to give birth to a healthy baby. I pray for you and everyone else in such situations, that they can make the choice they want and need and that they have the support they deserve.
@@Yendisongbirdclassic omg, I CANT believe I actually shared all that on a public platform. Shows how much of a vulnerable stage I was in. And you asking me this question legit brought me to tears, because I miss him. My son didn’t make it, he was diagnosed with Limb Body Wall Complex at 3 months, and I was told that « he’s incompatible » with life. I was urged by my Drs, religious leaders (in Islam we have to seek permission to terminate lawfully), my ex’s mom who was a nurse for 50 years, and my own family. So I terminated the pregnancy not because I wanted to, but because there was no other option. If I carried my boy to full term, the risk to me would be greater because of my heart condition and in the end, the baby, I was told IF he even makes it to 9 months, he would die at birth. I’ve never cried more in my life than the days leading up to and right after the procedure. I fought the hospital to give me his body (they usually don’t for a fetus that small), and I had a full religious burial for him at the mosque. I visit his grave every 3 weeks and put fresh flowers, and talk to him like he was right here with me. I hope that one day Gabriel and I are reunited ♥️
I used this video for a project of mine for one of my social work classes. Well done with keeping the topic unbiased by showing and informing from both perspectives. Hopefully this video along with my project can spread more awareness.
because people are cruel and only care about themselfs. If I were raped and would get pregnant I would still have the child. I almost cried when I heard how cruel abortion is!
How in this world can anyone watching this even THINK about a surgical abortion????? These children are ALIVE!! Imagine being ripped apart ALIVE!!! I found out about my Granddaughter when my DIL was 5 1/2 weeks… we have the picture framed on our fireplace, she is now 32 weeks and my sweet Granddaughter is so immensely loved!! Her room is ready for her, she is a BABY!! How in God’s name can anyone abort a healthy baby????
@That One Person Obsssed With KPOP Dude, a baby can feel pain inside the womb. Just look on the internet, there are videos in which it's shown how a baby tries to escape the abortion, but, of course, didn't manage to make it. And everything with a heart is a person. You say fetuses don't have hearts and just magically grow one when they're born?
good luck, if you want abortion, that okay! if you want to keep the baby, thats okay too! just keep in mind that your own health is the most important, and if you arent ready for it, you just arent, no need to push yourself!
To those who are saying a baby is not yet human until it is born, is a puppy a puppy inside its mother's womb? Is a kitten a kitten? I think most people would say yes, and most would say it would be wrong to remove a baby animal from its mother's womb. Also, to those who say nothing has the right to inhabit the body of another without permission, here is a question for you: did you get permission before you did the act that caused this baby to become an inhabitant of your body? YOU invited the baby to be formed inside you and then you're rude and cruel enough to allow it to form and then murder it? What psychos! The baby didn't ASK to be created. You created it without any thought, gave it a safe sanctuary in which to grow and thrive, and then decided suddenly it was too inconvenient for your selfishness to have to deal with. Therefore, blame the innocent baby instead of taking responsibility for YOUR actions! Why doesn't anyone have common sense or common decency any more?!? Smh 😒😕😑
If you get pregnant unplanned you should get an abortion it will save your life if you are in school. And hey the earth is starting to get overpopulated getting an abortion wouldn't be a bad thing.
I was 18 years old and l got pregnant by accident l was shocked when l go pregnant this was back 1976 l could keep my baby but l was single at time out of work and my boyfriend was interested and l did know how l would be able to cope with baby l decided to have abortion it was hard decision l have ever made there have been times when l have regret it when l think what baby would be like if baby had lived but l think l would be to young to look after baby We all make mistakes in life
It isn't that much complex, in fact. The fetus is too far from being a human to put his rights over the ones from the woman and, very importantly, over his own potential future rights (as most unwanted pregnancies over the world end up in quite bad living conditions for the child, the mother and, usually, many other people involved). It's as simple as that. Also, as a biologist, it's quite evident that an early fetus, which is almost equal to that of any other mammal, has nothing to do with a human child. If it was about potential, then we should also protect sperm and ova, which have just the same potential. That being said, we still should protect it from suffering, as that doesn't interfere with the abortion, which is why they all should be done within the first trimester of gestation. Too add more to it, abortions will always happen in big quantity, no matter if it's legal or not. Many women die or get seriously injured due to that. That blood is entirely on anti-abortists.
An early fetus is an ACTUAL (not potential) human being. Our individual DNA process is a continuous process, unfurling from the moment of conception. There is no later stage of our existence that is not dependent on earlier stages of our existence, as a continuous entity in space and time. Our DNA process is continuous in both space and time from the moment of our conception, to the moment of our death. Acceptance, rationalization of the termination of an already unfurling DNA process, once invited to unfurl, requires the irrational acceptance of a temporal bias. In the continuum of space/time, that continuously unfurling DNA process is not a complete individual human 'yet.' That is because we are not regarding that human over the complete time-space continuum that it exists in. But, the only thing required to see the complete individual human is the passage of time. We are of course much more than our unfurling DNA processes, but whatever we are, the basis of our life, cannot exist without the unmolested possession of that unfurling DNA process. The fetus is a concrete example of a new individual DNA process, unfurling. There is and has been a conflict to define the most fundamental aspect of an individual -- the term of its existence. The resolution of this conflict -- between the newest individual and others -- is resolved by others, based on whatever philosophical or moral guidance they bring to the conflict. The rationalizations in support of abortion boil down to the convenience of the others, based mostly on a shaky temporal bias that is permitted to stand, unquestioned.
Here's the way i approach this issue: The topic of whether abortion is right or wrong is an incredibly vague, difficult to answer question. In fact, the ethical standing of abortion rests upon one of the oldest, most debated topics in philosophy: The definition of personhood. Many individuals have a basic understanding of this idea, but still have lapses in knowledge that make it difficult to form consistent opinions or beliefs. To help out anybody reading this, I'll walk you through it. There's a significant difference between the questions "What is a human?" and "What is a person?" As for the former, a concrete, specific philosophical/biological definition exists: A human is any organism that intrinsically has Human DNA. In other words, every one of you reading this is a human. The latter is the one we want to know more about, and while the definition doesn't say WHO is a person, it DOES say what a person essentially is: A person is any individual that is worthy and deserving of ethical treatment by society. So, even NONHUMAN beings can be considered people, such as pets, including dogs and cats. Now, here's where things get complicated. WE only have an understanding of who qualifies as a person based on our experiences and by association. There is no agreed upon set of qualifications that makes an individual a person-and there likely never WILL be. It's because of this that there has never been, and likely never will be an absolute answer to the question of whether abortion is wrong. However, I hope to share with you my unique take on the subject. See, most attempted definitions of personhood are meant to be inclusive to what we already consider to be people. The simplest one: Personhood=Humanity; if you're a human, then you're a person. This is good, because it covers most of the edge examples that make the subject so controversial. However, it fails to account for nonhuman persons. You could try expanding the definition by adding conditions under which Human DNA isn't necessary, but in doing so you defeat the original argument by admitting that DNA isn't an essential property of personhood, and then you're left with a confusing mess. Next is the more widely accepted definition: Cognition/A Working Central Nervous System=Personhood; if a being can think, feel, etc., then it's a person. The problem with this argument is that it doesn't extend to people in extreme vegetative states, comatose patients, etc. In short, EVERY attempted definition has short sights. Mine is an attempt to expand upon an alternative version of the brain one...ready? A person is ANY organism which POSSESSES the systems necessary to produce empathy, regardless of whether those systems are functional or not. The first phrase of this sentence extends the definition to nonhuman organisms, like cats, dogs, etc. (which HAVE been shown to be capable of empathy towards humans and each other). The second portion extends the definition to disabled individuals, including the mentally challenged, comatose patients, and people in vegetative states. Moreover, the second portion attempts to resolve the abortion question. It gives the specific point at which a developing baby is a fetus. How so? Well, neuro-biologists have determined that the part of the brain responsible for empathy is the Cerebral Cortex, which develops in the second month of pregnancy (specifically at about 7 weeks). This means that a baby isn't a person until the 7th week of its development, meaning that abortion without necessary cause is alright before the point. Then there's the OTHER issue of personhood that's highly debated. Is there any way to affect HOW MUCH of a person somebody is? Personally, I believe that personhood is not an on/off switch, but rather a gradient, if you will. from the moment you attain consciousness-the moment you gain the ability to empathize with other persons (or rather, from the time the structures needed to do so develop)-you become a person. however, you are not as much of a person as other previously developed persons. As you grow and mature in life, you could become a better or worse person, but you are nonetheless becoming MORE of a person. Let's tie this in to what is perhaps the only arguably necessary cause that justifies abortion in the third trimester: risk to the mothers life. based on the qualifications of personhood which I've put forth, that mother is MORE of a person than her baby is. So, the mother's life should be treated with higher priority than the baby's if a choice MUST be made between the two. Because of this scenario, allowing that mother to receive the most ethical treatment possible requires that the OPTION of abortion be available to any mother who might need it in a life or death scenario. However, doctors must ALSO respect any choice the mother makes in sacrificing her own life for the baby's. If that baby's cerebral cortex has formed, however, and the mother's life isn't in immediate danger, she should NOT have the right to terminate her baby's life, because that's denying a person ethical treatment without necessary cause. I apologize for the length of this comment. However, this is a serious topic, and it can't be resolved or argued with short comments or phrases. If anybody has thoughts on my argument, I'd be happy to hear them, regardless of whether or not you agree. I hope I've given you some food for thought, and I wish you a happy day.
it's there body and they chose to have unprotected sex fully aware that pregnancy could happen if a women don't want a baby she should make the choice to use a condom ! simple
The baby is not part of the mother’s body. The baby has its own blood type and DNA. A women’s body cannot have two types of DNA and a separate blood type.
It is sad that people don't know this stuff before they are old enough to make babies. I will always choose "Baby" because a man and woman did that for me.
yes they do do the abortion watch someone the doctor levantino tells Congress they cut children up in pieces abortions real dismemberment of a human being on a choice evacuation and dilation used for steps to take them off piece-by-piece watch a video on a post it's real
The fact I got lost in Abortion vs Keeping comments, I wanna say that it's your choice. You can't say "You should've done that or this" Mabye when you grow up you'll do that choice but if your not a mother then why should you be saying that? It's their choices. Yes my opinion is that it's cruel and inhuman, but the best thing to do is ignore that option and move on to yours. Like someone said their never gonna have a baby but want to give an option that is best. Experience is the best way to prove you know it.
Abortionists get paid to kill babies. They have an incentive to convince women that killing their babies is the right thing to do. ALL abortions kill babies. When you translate all the sterilized lingo into basic English all you can call it is killing babies. That whole argument (“no cares about them after birth”) is a LIE. No other group of humans on the planet adopts more children than pro-life Christians. That’s a verifiable fact you can look up for yourself. There are no excuses for killing babies.
I had an abortion at 7 weeks. I don't care what this says. EVERYONE is different. Personally, I didn't face any kind of hardship. I'm completely fine. But thats not to say that some other woman couldn't handle it. But to each their own. I just refuse to try and provide for a child, when I can barely afford to get the things that I need.
if you like water you like 75% of me thank you, yes. He was unexpected, his father was not happy, but he was the best choice I ever made. The picture was from the first day I attempted to dress him up in more than a onsie.
This video is so compassionate & informative. I'm not even pregnant lol but this did such a good job explaining the effects of both sides in an open way.
ahahaha how is marriage the best parenting option? also a huge disadvantage of carrying the unwanted child to term: the Risk of frigging death during child birth! Oh and let't not forget the emotional and physical problems that can occure after giving birth. Please mention all facts if you're gonna make a video like this!
I don't know how things are in the states or other countries. but in countries like mine where many things don't work right, adoption is not really an option. it is technically, but if you know the truth you would never chose it... anyway, as far as I know, late term abortions are only allowed when there is big health problem or high risk of death for the baby or the mother, so in most cases it is tragic but something that might have to be done. early term abortion is and should be the mother's choice and not a public debate of morality. all humans are different and all cases are not the same and should be treated individually. there is no choice that is always roght or always wrong and we shouldn't be shaming ppl for their choices. let's just hope and support the best for each person.
This is not targeted at the video, but many women are being lured into these Crisis Pregnancy centres which advertise abortions and then being given incorrect information about abortion. While personally I wouldn’t have one, I think it’s important to give women a choice, and that we shouldn’t interfere based on our own beliefs.
First of all the subject of abortion is about the extermination of an unborn human life inside the mother's body. No one is talking about the mother's body. Secondly, many atheists are against abortion as well. The killing of the unborn is not a religious issue - its a humanitarian issue. Thirdly, population control by population extermination which is what your last comment suggested is comparable to 'the final solution'. The objection to abortion is many believe it is morally wrong to terminate an innocent unborn human life. If you have a moral justification for terminating a human life then please offer that so that we can understand. Otherwise all you are doing is distorting the subject without any actual validation or justification for abortion itself.
Ian Alan I completely get what you’re saying, and apologise if I at all offended you with my comment. At the time my view was more focused on centres which purposely advertise abortions and give women the wrong information to sway their decision. While personally (I haven’t been pregnant so can’t say for sure) I wouldn’t have an abortion, I do think that confusing women who are already scared is wrong, and we should be giving them correct information to help inform a difficult decision. I recently had a friend have a pregnancy scare and the only option for her would have been abortion considering her medical condition and age. So while I totally respect people who are wholeheartedly pro life, I think that women should reserve the right to choose. Have a nice day 🙃 (I’m going to edit my comment to make it seem a little less aggressive, I just read it back and realised how it sounds)
@@georgiathemartian8343 - I respect and thank you for your kind thoughtful reply. False misleading information and distorting (distracting) from the truth is wrong from either side. To that we agree. When a mother's life is at risk that is a horrid situation of which should be between the mother, her Dr, the father (if he is in the picture), her loved ones, and what she believes in (if anything). I would be remiss to not point out that is less than 1% of abortions in the U.S. For the other 99% of abortions there are options. Not always ideal options but options none the less that do not require the extermination of an unborn human life. I wish you peace!
@@georgiathemartian8343 there are also fake abortion clinics popping up over the country that say they do abortions but then they stalls that you cannot have an abortion. Which I just think is messed up.
I personally think that abortion is completely fucked up. Like it or not, that thing growing inside of you is a living thing. It doesn't matter how the child was conceived. What's even more fucked up about abortion is that rapists are never given the death penalty/life sentence for what they do, while the fetus can be legally murdered. This means the rapist's life means more to the government than the child does.
I'm 7 weeks pregnant and still haven't decided what to do! Everytime I'm certain I want abortion I just think about fetus for few minutes and then I'm confused! My boyfriend wants me to give birth so do his parents. My mom though said it's my decision and she will stand by my side whatever I decide but I must be aware of changes that baby will bring to my life. But she still thinks that abortion is better solution since I'm only 20. I don't know what to do.
My boyfriend was born of a teen pregancy and it ruined his mother life and it left him with depression, anxiety and PTSD. Of course me and him are happy that hes here, but he wouldnt have to heart to keep a baby when he isnt ready. It all depends if YOU are ready and you truly know that you will be able to raise this child and it having a good truma free childhood. If youre about 7 weeks pregant, then the fetus looks like this www.babycenter.com/ims/2018/06/pregnancy-week-7-tailbone_square.png . Its quite small, doesnt feel pain at this stage and is not even conscious yet. So whatever you choose, do it for yourself. If youre 100% ready, then go for it but if youre not then dont let that future baby suffer beacuse you werent ready. Dont do if for your boyfriend, don't do it for his parents, do it for yourself and the wellbeing of that potential life.
@Lizzie Allen By ready i mean that you have the money to take care of a child, you're relatively mentally healthy and you know that you'll be able to give proper care to that child. My boyfriend's mother wasn't ready, as she was only 14 and it ended with her entire life being ruined and her not being able to take care of her own childs needs. I would rather not be alive than go through was my boyfriend did, its irresponsible to raise a child in a broken, drug abusing home while also living in poverty. There are just situations that no one should have to go through, and it leaves children broken. At the end of the day, its an embryo that cannot feel yet and is not even viable outside of the womb. I could have at any point chosen to have a kid but i didn't....does that mean that im choosing to end a potential life by not getting pregnant. It's just a termination of a embryo, we humans have no problem with slaughtering animal's that are fully conscious and feels pain but youre over here feeling sympathy for something that isn't born yet, doesn't feel pain, has no heartbeat. Its inhumane to let a child grow up in an unstable environment, for them to just feel suicidal in their teen years. I would rather never be born, i would rather have been aborted than suffer like many others has that i know. So yes, you should be ready beacuse its like buying a dog for it to just live in a tiny cage all its life
My response is probably too late. But I would go into a forest and just sit down for an hour. After that, I'd ask myself how I really feel and want to do so that I have as little influence as possible from other people.
Personally , I'd rather not have a baby it's not that I don't like children if someone asked me to watch their kid for a little bit I'd be fine with that and for all the people who think I'm evil for this here are a few things you should know about me , 1. I don't believe in God so you saying that I'm going to quote unquote "burn in hell " isn't going to work on me 2.it's my choice and my opinion,there is nothing you can do about it 3. I don't have the patience for raising a kid I like babysitting because when you're done with that you could hand the kid back to their parents
If you guys are really wondering if you should go through with abortion let me tell you this. Please don't kill your unborn baby. God loves you and has had your baby planned since before creation. David said in psalms "you formed my inward parts, you knitted me together in my mother's womb, I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made! " you and your baby are wonderfully made by Jesus. Please cry out to God and he will help you and give you other options. He deeply cares for life. I care for you too. I can't imagine not having my 1 year old daughter.. so please please don't hurt your child. You will regret it for rest of your life. I LOVE YOU AND JESUS DEEPLY LOVES YOU and he died for your sin so you can live with new eternal life and peace.
Clearly this video is biased. It doesn’t help me make my decision. Having an abortion makes me so unbelievably sad but I can’t see myself being a mum at 19. I mean we have a place together and we have an incredibly healthy relationship and finances are stable, but it’s just not that easy. I used to think that if I got pregnant I’d just have an abortion, simple right? No. I only found out 2 days ago and this is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make.
It was biased. I’m trying to find unbiased info too for some research. But I felt I should leave this, just in case you need to hear someone rooting for you.. I believe you’ll be an awesome mum even if it’s ages before you expected to be! I have a dear friend whose mum chose to have her at a young age against all the voices who recommended she have an abortion. Mandy has always been a light that brings so much joy to all her friends, and is now married to a good man & pregnant with her second kid. She helped one of her best friends go through with an unexpected pregnancy & now gets to spoil her “nephew” with her exuberant love. And, her relationship with her mom is one for the ages ♥️ Sometimes a glimpse down the road can help with the fog in the present.
Amber Morgan -thanks for letting me know! I’m rooting for you & hope you will daily lean into the joy of giving life..of pouring out your life to give life. There’s no greater love than this. Don’t be afraid to ask for & receive help- we are meant to lean on each other! I believe independence is far inferior to interdependence! Get plenty of rest & enjoy this time. Love to you & your family!
Emari rileyhowe -Hey Emari! Thanks for commenting about your choice. You are brave & you are strong enough for this! So many beautiful days are in store, and many tough ones too. Do you have a good support system in your life?
Literally if you want an abortion get one.If you *need* an abortion then get one.If you don’t want an abortion you don’t have to.If you don’t need an abortion you don’t have to. Just don’t force your opinions on someone else.Its their choice, people do have health issues when they carry a baby and sometimes it’s life threatening to themselves and that is why they get abortions.Just do what you need to do, or want to do, just leave others out of it
Risk of the mother's death is less than 1% of abortions in America. Not many object to that. Attempting to silence society against what they believe as a moral atrocity is a very dangerous view.
If you look at this channel's previous content, they are clearly anti-choice in their beliefs. While the rhetoric against abortion in this video is slight, it is still present. I would urge everyone who watches this to look further into what this company and channel stand for, like "pregnancy crisis centers".
alright so I take birth control pills for my periods but, I'm confused would they be like abortion pills? I'm only in 8th grade I saw this in my recommend so I just got curious.
No, that's just sex-phobic propaganda of pro-life fundamentalists. Contraception pills stop ovulation, which means nothing that could remotely be considered a baby ever existed in the first place.
To put down a dog means, putting him out of his misery and pain. Abortion means killing a fetus (and a later on human life), because of financial, emotional or physical problems of the parents or just the mother. I don't get how you came up with the idea to compare abortion with veterinary euthanasia. Those are two completely different things.
Why don't they just make abortion legal for medical emergencies and rape or incest or diseases in the fetus? If they narrow it down to special cases we would not need the controversy. No one ever thinks about these because they are rare. So if we make abortion more for these situations then abortion itself would become rare. Also why are more people outraged by abortion when we have child molesters and child rapists getting a slap on the wrist when there is confession or proof of their wrongdoing? I would rather fight for the lives and well being of the children already here. But you know there may be people in law enforcement and child welfare who are promoting these atrocities.
But drugs are illegal and people still do it. How is that different from abortion? Murder is illegal, but people still do it. Rape is illegal, but people still do it. Should we legalize drugs, rape and murder to make it safer so people don't have to do it secretly?
I wish more videos on TH-cam were like this. I found this to be very informative. It gave pros and cons for both cases and didn't go one way or the other. Don't know how I got to this video in the first place, but I liked it!
If pregnancy can endanger the life of the mother, if it could prevent her from a future chance to have a baby, if it could leave a woman with serious medical problems, if the patient is a young age like 11 - 16, if she is a victim of rape or incest (not everyone has the mental ability to go through the process with the police after a rape and incest may likely bring around even more problems since the sperm donor is a relative), then an abortion should be an option. If she is pregnant with more than two fetuses and one dies, they shouldn't have to wait and wait for approval from a judge or from a hospital legal team - they need to act so that the dead fetus doesn't interfere with the development of the healthy fetus - there are cases where a dead twin ends up killing the live twin and the mother. If the fertilized egg did not drop, then an abortion necessary - this is an ectopic pregnancy and it will kill the mother and the embryo. If the fetus is severely deformed and won't live long even if the woman carries to term, abortion should be the option. The pill has a high success rate and it is safe for a girl or woman to take. Most abortions are done this way. A mixture of various ingredients has been used for generations to terminate a pregnancy or prevent the development of an embryo. Banning abortion across the board because of the beliefs of some that life begins at the moment of conception (that "moment" is impossible to know), and that it is a human being entitled to MORE rights than the girl or woman who is pregnant against their will, their desire, against their better judgment, is siding with one religious belief over the religious beliefs of another - who doesn't believe it is a human being at the moment of conception, but either believes that the spirit is infused later in the pregnancy or once they take their first breath of life outside the womb. A heartbeat doesn't a human being make. You can take heart cells and put them in a Petri dish, send a tiny jolt of a current through the cells, and they will begin to beat and move around. It sounds just like a heartbeat... because that's what it is. But, it isn't a heart - just cells, and it isn't and never will be a baby because it is impossible for heart cells to become a human being. The government should never be in a position to tell a girl or woman that they have to carry a fetus to full term and deliver. If you believe that every pregnancy is a gift from God, no matter the circumstances, then you would have to believe that God approves of incest and rape because he wanted those two people to come together so he could bless them (the girl/woman and her rapist) with a baby. You should therefore also oppose adoption, because clearly God created that baby FOR that woman and that man. What if that aborted fetus could have been a prophet, or what if Mary had an abortion? Well, ask yourself, what if Hitler's mom had an abortion? An embryo, once it emerges from the uterine wall, looks amazingly like a plethora of other creatures at that early stage of the game - elephant fetuses looks shockingly like the human embryo at first. We are all female until the developing organs develop into ovaries or testicles, a clitoris or a penis. Ambiguous genitalia affect 1 in 5,000 live births. Diagnostic procedures can be time-consuming, and often the etiology cannot be established in this group of individuals with differences/disorders of sex development (DSD). How many trans kids were born this way, and the hatred from people on the far-right, Evangelicult types, are spreading so much hatred toward these children and trying to pass laws that would leave them in a confusing and emotionally painful state throughout their entire childhood. In the past, if a choice had to be made for a newborn to be male or female, doctors had just made the decision and they perform surgery for whatever sex they divide it is... but later in life, that same child tells them they made the wrong choice.
Im pro choice but the description of the mid and late term abortions disturbed me.. it isn’t right, I feel like at that point adoption would be a better answer. But no judgement, i know everyones circumstances is different. Stay blessed and anyone going thru this right now know you will figure it out and it will get better.
Hey! Just here to remind you all that being aggressive and insulting while talking about the content in this video won't get anywhere or convince anyone of anything! Discussing with facts and respecting that other people have different views is so so important if you want the respect back ♥️
For those saying "this is a two-sided informative video", please know that they want you to think so--but it really isn't. This video is laced with anti-choice sentiments. Between the heavy emphasis on abortion's health risks (and ignoring its potential benefits), intentional gruesome description and illustration of abortion procedures at 2:51, not elaborating on the benefits and "immediate relief" mentioned in 4:01 and going straight to the "negative emotions", referring to pregnancy and childbirth as a "natural course" of your body, the stark downplaying of parenthood's challenges (saying "additional financial needs" instead of downright "expensive"--the term they used to describe late-stage abortion), and the myriad of benefits they CHOSE to mention regarding parenthood, it's not hard to see the message being sent.
Abortion after 16 weeks- please people abortion shouldn't be dismissed over a cup of coffee. It can feel pain after 20 weeks, and taking the fetus out in that disturbing manner is just..
Actually no one knows when the fetus feels pain. Some studies say as early as 19 weeks other stay as late as 27. In Utah and some other states the fetus is not required to be put on anesthesia if the abortions being performed at 16-19 weeks or further.
Half the comments are pro-life, the other half is hating on pro-life people. In all the arguments I've seen, no one has brought up the possibility of the baby being a product of rape. And the video is biased, though not as much as many of the abortion videos. It tells a lot about the negative sides of abortion, and barely anything about the possible negative affects of birth.

I would personally never have an abortion, but no woman should be forced to undergo a pregnancy, my heart goes out to any woman placed in such a situation
Yunus Ahmed being forced to CONTINUE a pregnancy, I should say
Yunus Ahmed perhaps I am, but that's because it isn't my job to judge what a woman does with HER body. I wouldn't do it personally, but EVERY woman should have that choice. And to not allow her that choice is FORCING her to continue the pregnancy.

1. until the fetus can survive outside of the womb on it's own, yup, sure is a part of her body. Until then, it's on par with a parasite, draining the nutrients it receives from the host--this is merely used as an example, to give you an idea of what I mean. In fact, in many places (including New York, for example) a fetus is not considered a person under the law until it draws a first breath, giving it no rights under the law.
2. Because it's the wrong choice for me. I have the support system I would need to take care of a baby, many women don't.
3. Again, it is not our place to judge or impose restrictions on a living breathing woman's body just because she has a fetus--which cannot survive outside of the womb alone--inside of her

1. so you wouldn't seek treatment for, say, hook worm? ring worm? How about ticks or bed bugs?
2. I already explained why it's the wrong choice for ME. And why should an already crowded and broken system be further packed with children who may likely stay in the system their whole lives? Babies are in high demand, sure, but what about the fact that they DO eventually grow? with eachyear, the likelihood of adoption or fostering grows slimmer and slimmer.
3. Admit it, you only care about a fetus until it is born. After that? "Sorry, kid, you're on your own!"
I'd say that this video is quite reasonable, but they focused alot of "possible damages" from abortions and pretty much none from giving birth.
Claes Svensson
Birth is a natural thing.
abortion is not.
dummy
You should check your facts Before you make an ignorant statement. The body do actually make "abortions" (miscarriages) on its own, sometimes even if the woman and the embryo/fetus is healthy. The opposite can also happen, that the pregnant woman or the embryo/fetus is not healthy, yet the pregnancy continues on. That can lead to the Death of the Children and/or mother.
However, I'd say that both your statement, even if it was right, and my answer isn't rlly relative to this debate as we humans do tons of things which is not "natural", both bad and good things.
I agree, I feel like this is subtlely trying to discourage abortion. It doesn't mention that later term abortions are usually only carried out for medical reasons. It's more reasonable than most though.
Claes Svensson True; possibly because Care Net is a compassionate company who is openly opposed to abortion.
Claes Svensson I think it's because most people know enough about the risks of getting a baby but not about the risks of getting an abortion. They might not think about the abortion enough and just want to get "rid of that thing" inside of them.
Just my theory ^^
no, marriage it's not the best parenting choice, get married because you're ready, not because you're going to have a baby.
on that perspective yes, but if you're not ready to get married, it's going to be a freaking nightmare, and the child it's going to pay for that, what kind of family it's going to be if you're fighting with your husband or wife most of the time, some even end up blaming the child for having to get married. it's certainly not a good environment to grow up in. I know money is necessary but it's not the most important thing, rather than getting married, talk to the other parent to see if you have support both emotionally and financially, and if not, that's another story, you can raise a child without being married, well it is easier in my country, I don't know if it's the same in other places with social security, insurance and all that.
Then stop sleeping around!!
They're talking about the baby it can b easier to take care of it
@@amberrose1108 exactly

Notice that nothing is mentioned about the risks of pregnancy and childbirth. As if this is nothing more than a walk in the park.
You say that like most of our mother's didn't survive being pregnant or labor pains. Im a mother and im alive!
@@vanessarose7491 They seem to imagine that we're still in medieval times where a woman can die of giving birth, ignoring that medicine has more than advanced to ensure that even high risk pregnancies are survivable. They take a feminist stance yet paint women as being so fragile as to perish after having a baby. The hypocrisy is laughable.
Crystal Evans killing babies is worst evil to exist, there is never ever a need to even be pregnant when you can use contraceptives, go and watch a first, second and third trimester abortion then tell your mother thank you
There are death risks in both options
It’s not very risky, we do things every day that pose a higher risk than pregnancy. It’s also how we survive as a species.
I took the pills a few days ago after going to planned Parenthood. I was 9 weeks along. One more week and I would have been too far along and have to undergo a surgical one. This was one of the hardest things I had to go through. But I could barely afford the abortion, let alone a baby. The tissue and baby did pass through me at home after taking the pills. I cried and cried. Still I knew it was what I needed to do. Im glad I had the choice. But it's something I will never make myself experience again. It was my fault for being so reckless with sex. I don't judge anyone who has had an abortion. It's people who abuse it and have multiple left and right without a care that bothers me.

Hmm.
I like how no one even mentions that this video showed a baby being ripped apart.
(If anyone argues that a fetus is not a baby, anything with a heartbeat is alive, as this video it's self shows, so?)
Plants are alive and they don't have a heartbeat 😳
Yeah.. and in reality it's wayyyyy more graphic
Phantom Productions A person brain dead kept alive by machines isn't considered medically alive and just like a fetus, you can pull the plug.
Amelia DahWolf Pull the plug not pull it apart piece by piece like it's nothing. Early abortions and contraceptives are the best options. There really is no excuse for surgical abortions as by then most women know their bodies and know they're pregnant...

Our opinions have no effect on the women who are having, going to have,avoiding or deciding against abortion. Its happening whether we like it or not. It has 0 % influence on their our lives. Thank you
Sofija Strode exactly!
So, the scientific, indisputable fact that a fetus is a human being should also be swept under the rug? Okay cool.
Annika H But you Pro lifers don't give a fuck that it can't feel pain or have any sentience... Thats a scientific fact too.
But its a scientific fact - From the moment of conception human development begins, the brain even, pain receptors are developing and even when born they are still developing.
FALSE! Babies most certainly DO feel pain!
If someone doesn't want a baby they should have an abortion. How fun would it be for a child to grow up in a home where their parents doesn't love them? And if the parents doesn't have money to raise a child? Is it okay to have a child go hungry?
"Put it up for adoption" Yeah. But if nobody had abortions we'd have more children than homes for all of them.
But most of the "Pro life" people don't care ones the babies as born. Then its not their problem anymore.
Bob Andersson Exactly. I bet if pro life people had to adopt all the fetuses they forced women to carry to term, they wouldn't be pro life anymore.
+4ElementGirl First world problems. in war torn countries people adopt without giving a second thought. Why in a land of such bounty people are selfish?
Who said the baby would have a bad life? You did. Plenty of great men and women have come out of the worst places. You don't know how much you just bent logic by saying what you just said. I get it, maybe the kid commits suicide when he's fifteen and dies like he would have if he just would have been aborted... but there's also a good chance that this kid could have a better life than you do. We don't know which fetus is going to do what in the future. We are not telepathic. And by killing all of them and reasoning it with, "he was going to have a sucky life anyway" is putting yourself in a god-like position. You're determining the value of someone else's life, guess who else did that? Hitler. He said that jews were inferior and needed to die... so he killed them, deeming them unworthy of life... hey... isn't that what YOU just did? Said it was't worthy? And yes I do care about orphans. I donate to the three angels charity that benefits an orphanage in Haiti. Us conservatives give more than people on the left do. Either because liberals are broke, going broke, or college students. Or maybe they just like attempting to make fun of conservatives but then falling flat on their face when they realize that they should be made fun of.
Bob Andersson I care
I understand what you're trying to say, but there are plenty of loving couples who would be thrilled to adopt. And just because someone doesn't want to keep their baby doesn't give them a right to kill it. Like, imagine how stupid it would be if you had a toddler and they were annoying you and you were poor so you decided to kill it. That would be crazy. The only reason people don't look at abortion the same way is because it's out of sight out of mind.
Having an abortion is the best thing to do for someone under 25, without a job. Have all the children you want, when you got a stable job. Please girls, be smart, do not welcome misery because of people (family, friend, religious figure) who will not pay your rent, your grocery, your bills. Do not let yourself get trapped in a relationship because of a child. Make a baby when you are financially stable, and mentally mature. Peace & Love

Respectfully, our justice system is built on getting involved in other people’s lives when they are not making moral decisions. Should we overlook murder, for example, in cases where it does not involve us? Just because the consequences aren’t ours to bear doesn’t mean we shouldn’t stand up for what is right.
If a mother killed her own toddler in her own house, would you consider this murder even though it’s her own house and her own child? Her house, her child, her choice... right?
Babies have detectable heartbeats from 5.5-6 weeks old, and detectable movements from about 6-8 weeks in. A lady who helped run Planned Parenthood made a movie called ‘Unplanned’ where she talked about seeing a baby moving and trying to fight the vacuum which sucked it up/killed it. There are also many instances of aborted babies who are born alive, and some even stay alive and develop into normal human beings... so how can you say that they are not a living human being, if the same organism which is legal to be killed in the womb can exist independently outside the womb?
I’m saddened that our culture has brainwashed society, and worst of all mothers, into thinking that they’re not actually killing their child. All life has value-please remember that❤️
Sienna Hermary it’s selfish to have a baby you can’t support therefore your argument isn’t justified in this context. Maybe you think you are saving lives by saying this but your opinion has no ownership over someone else’s body, you might as well be shaming people🙄please be a bit more open-minded and consider the situations many people are in🤍
Rielle H
Thank you for your reply💛 I would consider myself a pretty open-minded person, but I can not find any good justification in this situation despite hearing various arguments.
I do understand that people face difficult situations where they are not prepared for a child... one of my closest friends actually got his girlfriend pregnant at 17 years old and they made the decision to take responsibility for their actions and have the baby, even if they would have to put it up for adoption.
It’s a very slippery slope to say that not being able to support a baby is justification enough to ‘terminate’ them. If your parent had dementia or some other illness and was a ‘burden’ on you because they had to live with you and rely on you financially, do you have the right to kill them? No; thus, the value of a human life does not depend on how much someone’s life is a convenience or inconvenience to those around them.
Personally, I don’t find it selfish to have a baby that you can’t support because you can put that baby up for adoption, and therefore the responsibility to support that child transfers over to the adopted parents.
If this were merely a woman’s body, I would understand what you are saying. But all science shows that the organism growing inside that woman is separate from the woman itself; if not, are we saying that a woman has 2 hearts since the heart of the baby and the heart of the mother beat separately?
I’m not shaming people who don’t know better, because they genuinely don’t realize that they are killing their own child; what I am shaming is that society is portraying abortion as a saving grace, making mothers (along with the rest of society) think this is okay. It’s not only sad because a baby is killed/‘terminated’, but also because mothers are losing their own children without even realizing it.💛
Sienna Hermary You keep making “If” scenarios that are incomparable to the situation you are trying to find common ground and like morals when there is no comparison at all. Technically, no one is a parent until the baby is physically born... then giving the baby human life value (that’s why parents who murder their children actually face trial etc.) Mothers and other people alike may think otherwise about when and what they view is a child or a baby when it’s just an embryo or a fetus bc there are many different situations, personal experiences, and opinions, but there is not enough explanation and comparisons in the world that could validate that your opinions have more sensibility than those who have their own as well and can make their own decisions. Abortions may not be okay, but it’s an option. Just like adoption may not be okay but is also an option, and just how making the decision to keep the pregnancy to term and raising the baby may not be okay but is also an option.
@@rielleh5905 just bc someone morals tell them an abortion isn’t an option, doesn’t mean they aren’t open-minded
This is really helping with my decision, I don't think I can honestly can't bring myself to have an abortion, thank you.
I was considering abortion too due to difficult circumstances I'm in, no financial help and will be most likely a single parent too. I'm now 14 weeks, seen the baby move on the scan and saw the beating heart and now I can't bring myself to an abortion knowing that the baby's limbs will be ripped out one by one. That's terrifying.
Pls to all! Keep ur babies!!! No matter what difficulty’s you have to face right now ... non of them is worth to kill your baby! You all can do it and make it! Trust me, one day you will look in the Eyes of your Child and know that it’s worth!

My cousins story:
She accidentally got pregnant when she was 21. She was becoming a future doctor and had a great life ahead of her. But she was born with a hole in her heart, which could be deadly when giving birth. My cousins was scared. She wanted children but later, and she didn't want to kill herself. After she learned the baby was very unhealthy, she was horrified. In the end, she got an abortion because she didn't want to die. Today, her heart is much healthier and lives with her husband and now she can have kids!
this is why abortions should be legal so women have a chance when they are left with a bad situation whether the pregnancy is deadly or she was raped it needs to be there so they can live
Sooo what's the point of the story again? That you made it up? Maybe.
( if it's not made up I'm sorry for your cousin)

That literally isn't worth it since I'd have to remove my cysts first
I'm looking for a hysterectomy. Idk. It just depends on what you feel is right. I suggest you talk to a doctor about it.
The best option if you do wind up pregnant is to go for a chemical abortion (pills) in the early stages - always keep on top of it and take tests after unprotected sex. The earlier you catch it the better - for everyone. If you are sexually active with men I suggest you keep on top of a good contraceptive plan and if there are any issues or uncertainties, just take the test to be sure. Plan B is always available if you need it.
If you end up pregnant after all means to prevent it are taken, immediately go to a doctor and consider your steps from there. A youtube commenter can't really know what's best for your individual health from one post. I can only provide tips and information on birth control and abortion methods. Which options you choose are wholly dependent on you and your body.
-sincerely, someone with a jacked up uterus as well.

i have terrible Endo and im pregnanct. most woman who have endometriosis have healthy pregnancy. no worries. you wont die.
Disclaimer: this is my option. If you share it congrats, if you don't, don't be a jerk. Also this is long so bear with me.
If a women is a victim of rape, and she gets a baby out of the whole situation, she's going to hate the child. Most victims are going to see the child as an awful reminder of the thing that happened to them. A mother should always love a child and care for them, but if she can't or won't then it's a bad environment for the baby, so it's better to abort it then to hate the whole process.
If it's a teen pregnancy, something like this could ruin their lives. Most school drop out cases are of teenage pregnancy, so if they chose to drop out to take care of the baby they could possibly miss out on graduating, or not get the education needed to have a good job. Also if they are unable to get into collages due to their lack of education they'd need to take on all this extra crap excluding the baby and you could see how hard it would be for them.
The baby isn't even born yet, it's not going to make it so the world will stop producing babies if some people chose to have an abortion, so it's stupid that some people would be totally against it and not see the reasoning.
I know they could have the baby and put them up for adoption, but that's another whole big thing. You have to fill out papers, choose a good couple for the baby, make sure they are good parents, fill out more papers, and you still have to go through the trauma of one day the baby maybe wants to see his birth mother, so there is a chance they will come back and it's a big huge deal. Plus with teen pregnancy, the teen would still have to go through the morning sickness and the gaining weight, when kids aren't ready for that. It's taking a lot away from kids and imprinting bad memories on rape victims. It's not that bad of a thing since the baby isn't already born yet, and probably hasn't even developed most of its functions yet. So before you choose to 'Raise awareness' of abortion, it's sometimes needed to make somebody's life less horrible.
To me the only one that seems right is the pharmaceutical way or the suction way. (early in the pregnancy)
Why would anyone have a late-term abortion?
the baby has a birth defect. Not that I agree with it necessarily, but a lot of people think women with zika virus should have the right to a late term abortion if their child gets microcephaly
Austin Hmmm, that is actually a really valid reason for argument though, for sure. Didn't know/think about that
Some women develop complications which makes the pregnancy dangerous, or sometimes the baby will have health problems which would greatly reduce their quality of life.
If a woman has complications from the pregnancy, doctors can deliver the baby early. Abortion is never necessary to save the woman's life.
"Protection of the life of the mother as an excuse for an abortion is a smoke screen. In my thirty-six years in pediatric surgery I have never known of one instance where the child had to be be aborted to save the mother's life." C. Everett Koop, former U.S. Surgeon General.
As far as health problems for the baby, ultrasounds have been wrong before and healthier than expected babies born. It's wrong to kill newborns that are born with birth defects .It's wrong to kill unborn children with birth defects too.
I know someone that wanted an abortion because the baby had no heart.
I was talking to my mom and she said she would support my decision no matter what. If I want to be a parent or want to have an abortion. She said money shouldn't have to play of my decision making cause family always shows up and supports. My mom is a pro-life supporter but she respects my values.
i’m seriously conflicted on where i stand with pro-life & pro-choice.
my boyfriend and i don’t want a baby anytime soon and of course i have the birth control implant, so we’re absolutely being safe, but if i became pregnant somehow, i would be terrified & really don’t think i’m stable mentally or financially to support a baby. of course i would feel horrible killing my baby even in the early stages, but i would never want to bring them into the world where they won’t have a stable life. it seems horrible either way.
Well if it helps, there is never a perfect time to have a baby. Good for you using the implant. I had the implant for 3 years and it saved my life.
Pick a side, no birth control 100%
It’s better for your baby to survive then to die.
^^^what??
@@CountSnackula7 I was adopted and would rather have been aborted. I would feel so much worse giving birth to an unwanted baby then getting a simple abortion and living free.
the heart injection doesnt just stop the heart, it also burns the babys body alive. the baby can also live through it, and it can cause you to go into labor and deliver the baby anyways. which means the baby has permanent damage
Good
No, it's can't and no, the injection does not 'burn the baby' it's a heart stopping drug similar to what they use in lethal injections for death row inmates. No burning, no surviving. Please look up your facts on non-biased sites.
im actually a healthcare major and have studied these things in my textbooks, most recently in my pharmacology class. unless those textbooks are wrong, that is what the saline does, and i find textbooks more reliable than the web
saline is the most commonly injected because it works very quickly and theyve actually watched it on ultrasound before and the baby will squirm until the heart does finally stop
At that stage abortion is illegal except in special circumstances
A happily pregnant woman may feel love for her fetus as a special
and unique human being, a welcome and highly anticipated member of her
family. She names her fetus, refers to it as a baby, talks to it, and so
on. But an unhappily pregnant woman may view
her fetus with utter dismay, bordering on revulsion. She cannot bring
herself to refer to it as anything other than "it," much less a human
being. She is desperate to get rid of this unwelcome invader, and when
she does, she feels tremendous relief. Both of
these reactions to a fetus, and all reactions in between, are perfectly
valid and natural. Both may even occur in the same woman, years apart.
Yes, and the first loving response is a godly one, while the response where the mother regards it as a non-person is exactly the way Satan wants you to think of it. Don't be deceived. It's easier to murder a fetus, rather than thinking of it as it really is, a real human baby.
+Amber Rose That's what the clergies say. Learn how to think for yourself, not what to think, because some guy in a robe said it.
if it's not your body it's not your problem society has a way of trying to control what women do with their bodies and try to justify it by playing the "murder,heartless" card when the truth is that they can't do anything because it's not their body
if you want to have an abortion,do it
if you want a baby, do it.
but don't let other people's opinions affect your life.
The baby is a distinct human being growing in the mom's womb. It is not the mom's body. To kill the baby is murder. There is one of the Ten Commandments God gave to us as human beings that says: Thou shalt not murder. For vs Wade was an erroneous Supreme Court decision. There is no right to murder in the Bible or IS Constitution. I pray that God reveal this to you.
Honey, even if we're not religious, we know that abortion is literally murder.. how dense can you be?
If it is my child, it most certainly is my problem.
grass Respectfully, our justice system is built on getting involved in other people’s lives when they are not making moral decisions. Should we overlook murder, for example, in cases where it does not involve us? Just because the consequences aren’t ours to bear doesn’t mean we shouldn’t stand up for what is right.
If a mother killed her own toddler in her own house, would you consider this murder even though it’s her own house and her own child? Her house, her child, her choice... right?
Babies have detectable heartbeats from 5.5-6 weeks old, and detectable movements from about 6-8 weeks in. A lady who helped run Planned Parenthood made a movie called ‘Unplanned’ where she talked about seeing a baby moving and trying to fight the vacuum which sucked it up/killed it. There are also many instances of aborted babies who are born alive, and some even stay alive and develop into normal human beings... so how can you say that they are not a living human being, if the same organism which is legal to be killed in the womb can exist independently outside the womb?
I’m saddened that our culture has brainwashed society, and worst of all mothers, into thinking that they’re not actually killing their child. All life has value-please remember that❤️
Sienna Hermary lolll I 100% get where you’re coming from but it’s not murder. The fetus isn’t alive. Also it’s injected with something to stop its heart before it’s vacuum. Good try with the sympathy card, next time get your facts straight. xx 😘 🤭😗👄✨💫🧚🏾♀️
This is the best abortion video. It doesn't make the mothers sound like monsters, but it is still informative enough
Rice Curry The mothers are not monsters here it's the abortionist let me look how they ripped that baby a part disgusting and vile
Sofia Bravo not a baby, an embryo. a bundle of cells
@@jazminehowell4800 you just repeated yourself though....why did you need to say baby in English and Latin?
It isn't that much complex, in fact. The fetus is too far from being a human to put his rights over the ones from the woman and, very importantly, over his own potential future rights (as most unwanted pregnancies over the world end up in quite bad living conditions for the child, the mother and, usually, many other people involved). It's as simple as that.
Also, as a biologist, it's quite evident that an early fetus, which is almost equal to that of any other mammal, has nothing to do with a human child. If it was about potential, then we should also protect sperm and ova, which have just the same potential. That being said, we still should protect it from suffering, as that doesn't interfere with the abortion, which is why they all should be done within the first trimester of gestation.
Too add more to it, abortions will always happen in big quantity, no matter if it's legal or not. Many women die or get seriously injured due to that. That blood is entirely on anti-abortists.
@@sofiabravo1994 when a sick father rapes his daughter nobody wants to be born that way knowing their mom is their sister and their grandpa is their dad and they're born with a swollen eye or half a brain missing or some part Cliff foot some incestuous problems nobody wants to see a nine year old girl raped and have a baby to carry to term abortion can be a Lifeline it is a way to get rid of something humanely with dignity then to have a dumpster diving baby thrown over into the garbage after it's alive and born
you're more likely to die from giving birth than from having an abortion. and giving birth/having a child can also come with alot of physcial and psychological health issues.
Some people believe that having an abortion and ending a child’s life will solve their problems. And in the immediate present, it may appear that the problems have been erased. But there are many short term and long term side effects.
Joshua Shiluama like what
@@окирпичах The video explains some of them.
Same with pursuing a pregnancy and adopting out the baby that leaves trauma for a lifetime so shut up.
And two keeping and parenting a baby alone most of the time is the case, is not healthy for the moms mental health if she never wanted the baby in the first place she will feel obligated and not happy truly or present with anything
If my birth control fails, the condoms slips/breaks, the morning after pill fails, I enjoy knowing that there’s an option for me if I choose to not have a child.
Then don’t have sex. If you cannot handle the maturity level necessary to deal with the outcome of sexual activity, you shouldn’t be participating. That’s simply irresponsible.
@@doribellan sex doesn't equal wanting a baby. it's like saying don't eat if you don't want to choke
D K it’s absolutely not the same case because having sex lids to have a baby while eating to give energy to your body. 😂😂

this is really sad I'm pregnant
Im speaking as someone who has had a termination, i had the tablet form at 7weeks in and later found out at nearly 5 months in that it had failed! i bled and heavy with clots, everything you would expect if miscarrying! im now the mother of a healthy little girl i chose not to go through with a late term after my tablets had failed, my message to all women if you have tablet form go for a scan after to check it has worked, and think about the risks and a back up plan if it doesnt go according to plan i am very pleased now that mine did'nt but a baby is not for everyone, but not enough is mentioned about what happens for women when these tablets fail! I was lucky and my beautiful little girl is fit n well weight 9lbs8oz at birth but i worried sick my whole pregnancy incase id damaged her, i was told most that are damaged as a result pass away in the womb before they are born, my midwife had seen a few cases through out her career and that the babies had bern born ok and fit and well, but there us not enough mentioned about when abortions fail.
Help me understand how one becomes pregnant "by accident"?
Remember: feelings and circumstances change! Temporary feelings and circumstances are never a justifiable reason to kill your baby. Dismembering a living, wiggling baby limb from limb...it's truly barbaric. Taking the pills and expelling the deceased baby into the toilet...that's not humane either and extremely traumatic. Think about the life of your son or daughter. You CAN be a good mother even if your pregnancy is unplanned. You may be scared now, but think about never being able see your child's face or watch them grow up and make THEIR own choices. Having an abortion deprives them of the rest of their life and deprives you of a relationship with your living child. The reality is that having an abortion doesn't just make you "unpregnant" it makes you the mother of dead child :(
If you recognize the humanity of your child, you will be haunted by choosing abortion. Even with unplanned pregnancies, mothers are SO glad they chose life. They would never wish they could go back in time and abort their sweet baby. But MANY women wish they could go back in time and save their baby from being killed by abortion! This is my wish for all pregnant mothers -- that you cherish that life you and your partner chose to create whether it was planned or not
I would not have an abortion, personally. For moral beliefs mainly. I know what I'm getting myself into when I choose to have sex with someone. But, another woman may not feel the same way I do about babies and pregnancy, I can't stop them from making life choices. It's on their responsibility and conscience. I think abortion is absolutely disgusting and wrong, but it's just my opinion.
Exactly! Finally someone understand. Like, why kill the baby for your problems? That's like saying you kill your best friend because your boyfriend had sex with you and got you pregnant.
Lol it's not like saying that at all, most abortions are done early on, and it implies getting rid if something that would develop into a human being because of inconvenience or trauma. It's still not a live being and it's inside your own body, so it's not like killing someone (much less your best friend) at all.
Nice to see a pro-choice video.
Not like all those anti-choice, pro-birth, shaming people.
It really explain all the possibility, and consequences.
Thank u
Someone finally agrees me
Coming from someone who is pro-choice (but has been forced to suffer a prolonged amount of these pro-life videos for research purposes) I can say quite easily that both sides have moral backing, and the pro-lifers have stronger moral backing, even. They most certainly are caring. Keep in mind they think that the baby is a human, and not an object or animal- so they view it as murder.
Saying they are not caring is essentially sticking out your tongue and screaming that,
"IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME, YOU'RE A PSYCHOPATH!"
Both side are caring people with moral values, they just have different way to care. They don't have the same point of view and they dont care about the same fact.
The woman who got abortion dont view their fetus as object or animal, they see it as fetus, a start of an unwanted baby.
Some people like to be extreme by viewing abortion as murder or forced pregnancy as torture.
But that is no help for pregnant woman who try to figured out what to do, with their unplanned pregnancy.
yes. it is so nice to see a pro-choice video
My mom was pregnant with another baby before me. Apparently he had some problems and my mom decided to go through abortion. As for my parents, they simply couldn't afford two kids at that time. So if they decided to keep that baby, they would be stuck with him for life. I couldn't imagine how different their life would be if abortion wasn't an option. They wouldn't be as happy as they are now, the baby would suffer, and I wouldn't even be here. Sure abortion has a lot of psychological and physical effects on women, but it is other people's choice. By banning abortion, you're also banning people's right to choose how they want to live their life.
Abortion kills a living human being. I don’t give a shit it you want to live your life a certain way. Unless your life is in danger, there is no reason for abortion. I can’t believe this is still an argument. Abortionists have admitted that a fetus is a living human baby and science has proven that life starts at conception.
@@zoeh.4421 It's not because life has stared that it should be carried on
After watching this, I don't see myself ever having an abortion
If you're young, you're probably not in a good place financially. If you're pregnant, do you really want to be in debt your whole life and your dreams shattered?
When I found out about my pregnancy I was basically shocked and very upset! I was distraught and screamed and cried in the Drs office…so much so that my Dr. told me that I did not have to be a mother and honestly…those words brought me great comfort at that time. I was told to go to another Dr. as my Dr. no longer delivered kids…ok so I found out that I was actually 7weeks old and because of the circumstances I just thought I did not want to have a baby…I love children and always said that if I were to get pregnant …I would keep the baby regardless of the circumstances…however, now being in the situation…I looked for a way out…even though I thought about not keeping the baby…I was told to go to get the procedure done early because it was in the early stages…after crying for days…and talking to friends n family…I began to feel somewhat better but still was very upset as the pregnancy was not planned and I always thought I would plan…to make a long story short…the Dr. called me to figure out y I had not come back to get the procedure done because she gave me a certain date where if I waited past that date…I would have to go towards surgery instead of suction…but when I spoke to the representatives of the Dr. I told them that I was not going to abort. They asked me if I were sure and I told them yes…I had looked up the stages of fetal development and saw that at 7weeks the baby has eyebrows, fingernails, a heart beat and everything…I was so surprised to learn this because the Dr. said it was nothing more than a clump of cells…when I learned of this and thought about the fact that I really was just "scared" I decided to have my baby. I talked to my child inside of me and apologized to him or her for thinking not to keep him or her…to date…my daughter is yrs old. I am so happy with her and love her so very much! I can not believe my thoughts to not keep her and often dread the idea of what I could have done…having a baby is very personal and I think every mother has a right to decide what she wants but I tell you ….you must really think about it because regret and sorrow from a "quick decision" can haunt you for years. I thank God I had my child and I love love love being a mom! It is such a beautiful and rewarding decision…may God be with all the woman who have to make such decisions…I am in no position to judge…I just pray that they make the right decision for themselves…having a baby is not the end of the world!!! For me…it was the only the beginning of my world…and such a beautiful world it is! Peace and May God bless!

I REALLY don't think abortion should be an option, unless the mother is at high risk for complications or death due to health problems or an ectopic pregnancy
uhm... what about caesarean section ?
Candy Walton Yes, c-section is an option if the mother's far along in her pregnancy (at least 23 weeks), but if she's very early in her pregnancy, c-section will most likely kill the child
I've recently considered abortion and I've watched tons of videos to help me make a decision, but this one stood out. I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks, and after watching this video I couldn't stop crying over how an abortion was done. I couldn't stomach doing that to my baby. My pregnancy was unplanned, I was unwed, I'm from a Muslim family and the father is Christian, I have a mechanical valve and I was told I would have to inject myself twice a day with blood thinners to protect the baby.... I was also told this would be a very high risk pregnancy because the injections protect the baby but that I'm at risk for developing a blood cloth which can be fatal to me (the oral medication I've been taking my whole life are safe for me but harmful to the baby). This caused me to have several panic attacks that led to multiple trips to the ER all during the first 6 weeks. Not much was going well for me; I have a phobia of needles, just the thought of telling my Muslim family would litteraly cause me to be sick and the stigma associated to my situation in my community, I was scared of possibly developing a blood cloth and potentially losing my life, the father hasn't been always great to me during our relationship, and some of his emotional abuse has led me to be clinically depressed and I've unfortunately harmed myself on multiple occasions because of it, I don't have any savings, and he's worse off than me financially... Despite all these challenges I was gonna have to face if I decide to keep the baby, the thought of never being able to forgive myself and possibly be traumatised for life if I went through with the abortion seemed more scary. The first 6 weeks have been the worst moments of my life: going back and forth between keeping it and having an abortion. I decided to inject myself twice a day, I've shared with some of my siblings and my mother (person I was scared of the most) and they've been supportive for the most part, but its been a hard road with them, the father came around somewhat... When I had my first ultrasound at week 6 and 3 days, I was told my baby had a heartbeat, and at that moment I've finally decided that I had to delete "abortion" from my thoughts and leave it all in God's hands. I'm now 8 weeks and 2 days, and I hope me and my baby make it out safe. I pray for any women going through what I've experienced. It's not an easy decision but you'll make the best decision for yourself.
It's great you were able to make the choice that you wanted. I wish you all the best and hope you manage to give birth to a healthy baby. I pray for you and everyone else in such situations, that they can make the choice they want and need and that they have the support they deserve.
This just hit me hard. How’s your baby now?
@@Yendisongbirdclassic omg, I CANT believe I actually shared all that on a public platform. Shows how much of a vulnerable stage I was in. And you asking me this question legit brought me to tears, because I miss him. My son didn’t make it, he was diagnosed with Limb Body Wall Complex at 3 months, and I was told that « he’s incompatible » with life. I was urged by my Drs, religious leaders (in Islam we have to seek permission to terminate lawfully), my ex’s mom who was a nurse for 50 years, and my own family. So I terminated the pregnancy not because I wanted to, but because there was no other option. If I carried my boy to full term, the risk to me would be greater because of my heart condition and in the end, the baby, I was told IF he even makes it to 9 months, he would die at birth. I’ve never cried more in my life than the days leading up to and right after the procedure. I fought the hospital to give me his body (they usually don’t for a fetus that small), and I had a full religious burial for him at the mosque. I visit his grave every 3 weeks and put fresh flowers, and talk to him like he was right here with me. I hope that one day Gabriel and I are reunited ♥️
I used this video for a project of mine for one of my social work classes. Well done with keeping the topic unbiased by showing and informing from both perspectives. Hopefully this video along with my project can spread more awareness.
if you did any of this to a child outside the womb you'd be charged with murder so why is it okay inside the womb and not outside
because people are cruel and only care about themselfs. If I were raped and would get pregnant I would still have the child. I almost cried when I heard how cruel abortion is!
if they're not raped they should use contraceptives and protection
also in America it costs more to have a baby than to have abortion :(

@That One Person Obsssed With KPOP Dude, a baby can feel pain inside the womb. Just look on the internet, there are videos in which it's shown how a baby tries to escape the abortion, but, of course, didn't manage to make it. And everything with a heart is a person. You say fetuses don't have hearts and just magically grow one when they're born?
Just found out I'm 10 weeks pregnant.
good luck, if you want abortion, that okay! if you want to keep the baby, thats okay too! just keep in mind that your own health is the most important, and if you arent ready for it, you just arent, no need to push yourself!

Women & girls have the right to choose.
To those who are saying a baby is not yet human until it is born, is a puppy a puppy inside its mother's womb? Is a kitten a kitten? I think most people would say yes, and most would say it would be wrong to remove a baby animal from its mother's womb. Also, to those who say nothing has the right to inhabit the body of another without permission, here is a question for you: did you get permission before you did the act that caused this baby to become an inhabitant of your body? YOU invited the baby to be formed inside you and then you're rude and cruel enough to allow it to form and then murder it? What psychos! The baby didn't ASK to be created. You created it without any thought, gave it a safe sanctuary in which to grow and thrive, and then decided suddenly it was too inconvenient for your selfishness to have to deal with. Therefore, blame the innocent baby instead of taking responsibility for YOUR actions! Why doesn't anyone have common sense or common decency any more?!? Smh 😒😕😑

We all make mistakes in life
It isn't that much complex, in fact. The fetus is too far from being a human to put his rights over the ones from the woman and, very importantly, over his own potential future rights (as most unwanted pregnancies over the world end up in quite bad living conditions for the child, the mother and, usually, many other people involved). It's as simple as that.
Also, as a biologist, it's quite evident that an early fetus, which is almost equal to that of any other mammal, has nothing to do with a human child. If it was about potential, then we should also protect sperm and ova, which have just the same potential. That being said, we still should protect it from suffering, as that doesn't interfere with the abortion, which is why they all should be done within the first trimester of gestation.
Too add more to it, abortions will always happen in big quantity, no matter if it's legal or not. Many women die or get seriously injured due to that. That blood is entirely on anti-abortists.
An early fetus is an ACTUAL (not potential) human being.
Our individual DNA process is a continuous process, unfurling from the moment of conception. There is no later stage of our existence that is not dependent on earlier stages of our existence, as a continuous entity in space and time. Our DNA process is continuous in both space and time from the moment of our conception, to the moment of our death.
Acceptance, rationalization of the termination of an already unfurling DNA process, once invited to unfurl, requires the irrational acceptance of a temporal bias. In the continuum of space/time, that continuously unfurling DNA process is not a complete individual human 'yet.' That is because we are not regarding that human over the complete time-space continuum that it exists in. But, the only thing required to see the complete individual human is the passage of time.
We are of course much more than our unfurling DNA processes, but whatever we are, the basis of our life, cannot exist without the unmolested possession of that unfurling DNA process.
The fetus is a concrete example of a new individual DNA process, unfurling. There is and has been a conflict to define the most fundamental aspect of an individual -- the term of its existence. The resolution of this conflict -- between the newest individual and others -- is resolved by others, based on whatever philosophical or moral guidance they bring to the conflict. The rationalizations in support of abortion boil down to the convenience of the others, based mostly on a shaky temporal bias that is permitted to stand, unquestioned.
Here's the way i approach this issue:
The topic of whether abortion is right or wrong is an incredibly vague, difficult to answer question. In fact, the ethical standing of abortion rests upon one of the oldest, most debated topics in philosophy: The definition of personhood.
Many individuals have a basic understanding of this idea, but still have lapses in knowledge that make it difficult to form consistent opinions or beliefs. To help out anybody reading this, I'll walk you through it.
There's a significant difference between the questions "What is a human?" and "What is a person?"
As for the former, a concrete, specific philosophical/biological definition exists: A human is any organism that intrinsically has Human DNA. In other words, every one of you reading this is a human.
The latter is the one we want to know more about, and while the definition doesn't say WHO is a person, it DOES say what a person essentially is: A person is any individual that is worthy and deserving of ethical treatment by society. So, even NONHUMAN beings can be considered people, such as pets, including dogs and cats.
Now, here's where things get complicated. WE only have an understanding of who qualifies as a person based on our experiences and by association. There is no agreed upon set of qualifications that makes an individual a person-and there likely never WILL be. It's because of this that there has never been, and likely never will be an absolute answer to the question of whether abortion is wrong. However, I hope to share with you my unique take on the subject.
See, most attempted definitions of personhood are meant to be inclusive to what we already consider to be people. The simplest one: Personhood=Humanity; if you're a human, then you're a person. This is good, because it covers most of the edge examples that make the subject so controversial. However, it fails to account for nonhuman persons. You could try expanding the definition by adding conditions under which Human DNA isn't necessary, but in doing so you defeat the original argument by admitting that DNA isn't an essential property of personhood, and then you're left with a confusing mess.
Next is the more widely accepted definition: Cognition/A Working Central Nervous System=Personhood; if a being can think, feel, etc., then it's a person. The problem with this argument is that it doesn't extend to people in extreme vegetative states, comatose patients, etc.
In short, EVERY attempted definition has short sights. Mine is an attempt to expand upon an alternative version of the brain one...ready?
A person is ANY organism which POSSESSES the systems necessary to produce empathy, regardless of whether those systems are functional or not.
The first phrase of this sentence extends the definition to nonhuman organisms, like cats, dogs, etc. (which HAVE been shown to be capable of empathy towards humans and each other).
The second portion extends the definition to disabled individuals, including the mentally challenged, comatose patients, and people in vegetative states.
Moreover, the second portion attempts to resolve the abortion question. It gives the specific point at which a developing baby is a fetus. How so? Well, neuro-biologists have determined that the part of the brain responsible for empathy is the Cerebral Cortex, which develops in the second month of pregnancy (specifically at about 7 weeks). This means that a baby isn't a person until the 7th week of its development, meaning that abortion without necessary cause is alright before the point.
Then there's the OTHER issue of personhood that's highly debated. Is there any way to affect HOW MUCH of a person somebody is?
Personally, I believe that personhood is not an on/off switch, but rather a gradient, if you will. from the moment you attain consciousness-the moment you gain the ability to empathize with other persons (or rather, from the time the structures needed to do so develop)-you become a person. however, you are not as much of a person as other previously developed persons. As you grow and mature in life, you could become a better or worse person, but you are nonetheless becoming MORE of a person.
Let's tie this in to what is perhaps the only arguably necessary cause that justifies abortion in the third trimester: risk to the mothers life. based on the qualifications of personhood which I've put forth, that mother is MORE of a person than her baby is. So, the mother's life should be treated with higher priority than the baby's if a choice MUST be made between the two. Because of this scenario, allowing that mother to receive the most ethical treatment possible requires that the OPTION of abortion be available to any mother who might need it in a life or death scenario. However, doctors must ALSO respect any choice the mother makes in sacrificing her own life for the baby's. If that baby's cerebral cortex has formed, however, and the mother's life isn't in immediate danger, she should NOT have the right to terminate her baby's life, because that's denying a person ethical treatment without necessary cause.
I apologize for the length of this comment. However, this is a serious topic, and it can't be resolved or argued with short comments or phrases. If anybody has thoughts on my argument, I'd be happy to hear them, regardless of whether or not you agree. I hope I've given you some food for thought, and I wish you a happy day.

yes they do do the abortion watch someone the doctor levantino tells Congress they cut children up in pieces abortions real dismemberment of a human being on a choice evacuation and dilation used for steps to take them off piece-by-piece watch a video on a post it's real
@@bethwilliam1825 LMAO. He's a tool. There are 0 children being cut up.
The fact I got lost in Abortion vs Keeping comments, I wanna say that it's your choice. You can't say "You should've done that or this" Mabye when you grow up you'll do that choice but if your not a mother then why should you be saying that? It's their choices. Yes my opinion is that it's cruel and inhuman, but the best thing to do is ignore that option and move on to yours. Like someone said their never gonna have a baby but want to give an option that is best. Experience is the best way to prove you know it.
pro birth is not the same as pro life, if you are pro life you would care about the babies life after birth and the mothers life.
Abortionists get paid to kill babies. They have an incentive to convince women that killing their babies is the right thing to do. ALL abortions kill babies. When you translate all the sterilized lingo into basic English all you can call it is killing babies. That whole argument (“no cares about them after birth”) is a LIE. No other group of humans on the planet adopts more children than pro-life Christians. That’s a verifiable fact you can look up for yourself. There are no excuses for killing babies.
OF COURSE PRO LIFERS CARE ABOUT THE BABIES LIFE AFTER BIRTH AND THE MOTHER'S LIFE. JEESH!
I had an abortion at 7 weeks. I don't care what this says. EVERYONE is different. Personally, I didn't face any kind of hardship. I'm completely fine. But thats not to say that some other woman couldn't handle it. But to each their own. I just refuse to try and provide for a child, when I can barely afford to get the things that I need.
T C oh shut up
Keesh Riley what’s the latest you can have a abortion
Oh hell, Keesh! Go kill another one. Why not? Live a little!
cool
why u mad tho
adoption, not abortion
Nope.
Adoption isn't always the answer
Makes me want to cry. My five month old is the best thing ever. He’s such a happy baby.
if you like water you like 75% of me thank you, yes. He was unexpected, his father was not happy, but he was the best choice I ever made. The picture was from the first day I attempted to dress him up in more than a onsie.
This video is so compassionate & informative. I'm not even pregnant lol but this did such a good job explaining the effects of both sides in an open way.
ahahaha how is marriage the best parenting option? also a huge disadvantage of carrying the unwanted child to term: the Risk of frigging death during child birth! Oh and let't not forget the emotional and physical problems that can occure after giving birth. Please mention all facts if you're gonna make a video like this!
The risk of death does not go up just because you do not want the child. Those are two different issues.
I don't know how things are in the states or other countries. but in countries like mine where many things don't work right, adoption is not really an option. it is technically, but if you know the truth you would never chose it... anyway, as far as I know, late term abortions are only allowed when there is big health problem or high risk of death for the baby or the mother, so in most cases it is tragic but something that might have to be done. early term abortion is and should be the mother's choice and not a public debate of morality. all humans are different and all cases are not the same and should be treated individually. there is no choice that is always roght or always wrong and we shouldn't be shaming ppl for their choices. let's just hope and support the best for each person.
This is not targeted at the video, but many women are being lured into these Crisis Pregnancy centres which advertise abortions and then being given incorrect information about abortion. While personally I wouldn’t have one, I think it’s important to give women a choice, and that we shouldn’t interfere based on our own beliefs.
First of all the subject of abortion is about the extermination of an unborn human life inside the mother's body. No one is talking about the mother's body. Secondly, many atheists are against abortion as well. The killing of the unborn is not a religious issue - its a humanitarian issue. Thirdly, population control by population extermination which is what your last comment suggested is comparable to 'the final solution'.
The objection to abortion is many believe it is morally wrong to terminate an innocent unborn human life. If you have a moral justification for terminating a human life then please offer that so that we can understand. Otherwise all you are doing is distorting the subject without any actual validation or justification for abortion itself.
Ian Alan I completely get what you’re saying, and apologise if I at all offended you with my comment. At the time my view was more focused on centres which purposely advertise abortions and give women the wrong information to sway their decision. While personally (I haven’t been pregnant so can’t say for sure) I wouldn’t have an abortion, I do think that confusing women who are already scared is wrong, and we should be giving them correct information to help inform a difficult decision. I recently had a friend have a pregnancy scare and the only option for her would have been abortion considering her medical condition and age. So while I totally respect people who are wholeheartedly pro life, I think that women should reserve the right to choose. Have a nice day 🙃
(I’m going to edit my comment to make it seem a little less aggressive, I just read it back and realised how it sounds)
@@georgiathemartian8343 - I respect and thank you for your kind thoughtful reply. False misleading information and distorting (distracting) from the truth is wrong from either side. To that we agree.
When a mother's life is at risk that is a horrid situation of which should be between the mother, her Dr, the father (if he is in the picture), her loved ones, and what she believes in (if anything). I would be remiss to not point out that is less than 1% of abortions in the U.S. For the other 99% of abortions there are options. Not always ideal options but options none the less that do not require the extermination of an unborn human life.
I wish you peace!
@@georgiathemartian8343
there are also fake abortion clinics popping up over the country that say they do abortions but then they stalls that you cannot have an abortion. Which I just think is messed up.
I personally think that abortion is completely fucked up. Like it or not, that thing growing inside of you is a living thing. It doesn't matter how the child was conceived. What's even more fucked up about abortion is that rapists are never given the death penalty/life sentence for what they do, while the fetus can be legally murdered. This means the rapist's life means more to the government than the child does.
I'm 7 weeks pregnant and still haven't decided what to do! Everytime I'm certain I want abortion I just think about fetus for few minutes and then I'm confused! My boyfriend wants me to give birth so do his parents. My mom though said it's my decision and she will stand by my side whatever I decide but I must be aware of changes that baby will bring to my life. But she still thinks that abortion is better solution since I'm only 20. I don't know what to do.
My boyfriend was born of a teen pregancy and it ruined his mother life and it left him with depression, anxiety and PTSD. Of course me and him are happy that hes here, but he wouldnt have to heart to keep a baby when he isnt ready. It all depends if YOU are ready and you truly know that you will be able to raise this child and it having a good truma free childhood. If youre about 7 weeks pregant, then the fetus looks like this www.babycenter.com/ims/2018/06/pregnancy-week-7-tailbone_square.png . Its quite small, doesnt feel pain at this stage and is not even conscious yet. So whatever you choose, do it for yourself. If youre 100% ready, then go for it but if youre not then dont let that future baby suffer beacuse you werent ready.
Dont do if for your boyfriend, don't do it for his parents, do it for yourself and the wellbeing of that potential life.
@Lizzie Allen By ready i mean that you have the money to take care of a child, you're relatively mentally healthy and you know that you'll be able to give proper care to that child. My boyfriend's mother wasn't ready, as she was only 14 and it ended with her entire life being ruined and her not being able to take care of her own childs needs. I would rather not be alive than go through was my boyfriend did, its irresponsible to raise a child in a broken, drug abusing home while also living in poverty. There are just situations that no one should have to go through, and it leaves children broken. At the end of the day, its an embryo that cannot feel yet and is not even viable outside of the womb. I could have at any point chosen to have a kid but i didn't....does that mean that im choosing to end a potential life by not getting pregnant. It's just a termination of a embryo, we humans have no problem with slaughtering animal's that are fully conscious and feels pain but youre over here feeling sympathy for something that isn't born yet, doesn't feel pain, has no heartbeat. Its inhumane to let a child grow up in an unstable environment, for them to just feel suicidal in their teen years. I would rather never be born, i would rather have been aborted than suffer like many others has that i know.
So yes, you should be ready beacuse its like buying a dog for it to just live in a tiny cage all its life
My response is probably too late. But I would go into a forest and just sit down for an hour. After that, I'd ask myself how I really feel and want to do so that I have as little influence as possible from other people.
so what did you decide?
adoption people! adoption!
No. Tardo. No.
Adoption isn't always the answer
choice people! choice!
or
MYOB people! MYOB!
Personally , I'd rather not have a baby it's not that I don't like children if someone asked me to watch their kid for a little bit I'd be fine with that and for all the people who think I'm evil for this here are a few things you should know about me ,
1. I don't believe in God so you saying that I'm going to quote unquote "burn in hell " isn't going to work on me
2.it's my choice and my opinion,there is nothing you can do about it
3. I don't have the patience for raising a kid I like babysitting because when you're done with that you could hand the kid back to their parents
That is horrifying to why would somebody kill a baby like that
It's a fetus, you son of a bitch. you don't know the difference between a baby and a fetus
If you guys are really wondering if you should go through with abortion let me tell you this. Please don't kill your unborn baby. God loves you and has had your baby planned since before creation. David said in psalms "you formed my inward parts, you knitted me together in my mother's womb, I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made! " you and your baby are wonderfully made by Jesus. Please cry out to God and he will help you and give you other options. He deeply cares for life. I care for you too. I can't imagine not having my 1 year old daughter.. so please please don't hurt your child. You will regret it for rest of your life. I LOVE YOU AND JESUS DEEPLY LOVES YOU and he died for your sin so you can live with new eternal life and peace.
If your not gonna give the lady $10000000 dollars then hush lol
This video makes it look like having a baby isn’t also risky, what of heavy bleeding after child birth
They never tell the truth, that's why. Lots hemmorhage days after birth
Clearly this video is biased. It doesn’t help me make my decision. Having an abortion makes me so unbelievably sad but I can’t see myself being a mum at 19. I mean we have a place together and we have an incredibly healthy relationship and finances are stable, but it’s just not that easy. I used to think that if I got pregnant I’d just have an abortion, simple right? No. I only found out 2 days ago and this is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make.
It was biased. I’m trying to find unbiased info too for some research. But I felt I should leave this, just in case you need to hear someone rooting for you.. I believe you’ll be an awesome mum even if it’s ages before you expected to be! I have a dear friend whose mum chose to have her at a young age against all the voices who recommended she have an abortion. Mandy has always been a light that brings so much joy to all her friends, and is now married to a good man & pregnant with her second kid. She helped one of her best friends go through with an unexpected pregnancy & now gets to spoil her “nephew” with her exuberant love.
And, her relationship with her mom is one for the ages ♥️
Sometimes a glimpse down the road can help with the fog in the present.
Oh Suzannah Music Studio I decided to keep it. I’ll be 7 weeks on Wednesday and my partner and my friends and family are excited 😊
Same... I’m 20 weeks🥴
Amber Morgan -thanks for letting me know! I’m rooting for you & hope you will daily lean into the joy of giving life..of pouring out your life to give life.
There’s no greater love than this.
Don’t be afraid to ask for & receive help- we are meant to lean on each other! I believe independence is far inferior to interdependence! Get plenty of rest & enjoy this time. Love to you & your family!
Emari rileyhowe -Hey Emari! Thanks for commenting about your choice. You are brave & you are strong enough for this! So many beautiful days are in store, and many tough ones too. Do you have a good support system in your life?
Literally if you want an abortion get one.If you *need* an abortion then get one.If you don’t want an abortion you don’t have to.If you don’t need an abortion you don’t have to.
Just don’t force your opinions on someone else.Its their choice, people do have health issues when they carry a baby and sometimes it’s life threatening to themselves and that is why they get abortions.Just do what you need to do, or want to do, just leave others out of it
Risk of the mother's death is less than 1% of abortions in America. Not many object to that. Attempting to silence society against what they believe as a moral atrocity is a very dangerous view.
If you look at this channel's previous content, they are clearly anti-choice in their beliefs. While the rhetoric against abortion in this video is slight, it is still present. I would urge everyone who watches this to look further into what this company and channel stand for, like "pregnancy crisis centers".
alright so I take birth control pills for my periods but, I'm confused would they be like abortion pills? I'm only in 8th grade I saw this in my recommend so I just got curious.
No, they actually prevent from getting pregnant.
No, that's just sex-phobic propaganda of pro-life fundamentalists. Contraception pills stop ovulation, which means nothing that could remotely be considered a baby ever existed in the first place.
No you have more choices than just abortion or baby. God bless!
People who have dogs put down but don't agree with abortion, how do you define the difference?
To put down a dog means, putting him out of his misery and pain. Abortion means killing a fetus (and a later on human life), because of financial, emotional or physical problems of the parents or just the mother.
I don't get how you came up with the idea to compare abortion with veterinary euthanasia. Those are two completely different things.
Why don't they just make abortion legal for medical emergencies and rape or incest or diseases in the fetus? If they narrow it down to special cases we would not need the controversy. No one ever thinks about these because they are rare. So if we make abortion more for these situations then abortion itself would become rare. Also why are more people outraged by abortion when we have child molesters and child rapists getting a slap on the wrist when there is confession or proof of their wrongdoing? I would rather fight for the lives and well being of the children already here. But you know there may be people in law enforcement and child welfare who are promoting these atrocities.
Correct
But drugs are illegal and people still do it. How is that different from abortion? Murder is illegal, but people still do it. Rape is illegal, but people still do it. Should we legalize drugs, rape and murder to make it safer so people don't have to do it secretly?
That has nothing to do with an abortion.
What I was trying to say is that, if abortion was illegal, of course, people would do it in secret, even if it was unsafe. Abortion is wrong.
+♥ viideo ediits ♥ Abortion is not wrong but I agree with the rest of your comment.
I wish more videos on TH-cam were like this. I found this to be very informative. It gave pros and cons for both cases and didn't go one way or the other. Don't know how I got to this video in the first place, but I liked it!
If pregnancy can endanger the life of the mother, if it could prevent her from a future chance to have a baby, if it could leave a woman with serious medical problems, if the patient is a young age like 11 - 16, if she is a victim of rape or incest (not everyone has the mental ability to go through the process with the police after a rape and incest may likely bring around even more problems since the sperm donor is a relative), then an abortion should be an option. If she is pregnant with more than two fetuses and one dies, they shouldn't have to wait and wait for approval from a judge or from a hospital legal team - they need to act so that the dead fetus doesn't interfere with the development of the healthy fetus - there are cases where a dead twin ends up killing the live twin and the mother. If the fertilized egg did not drop, then an abortion necessary - this is an ectopic pregnancy and it will kill the mother and the embryo. If the fetus is severely deformed and won't live long even if the woman carries to term, abortion should be the option.
The pill has a high success rate and it is safe for a girl or woman to take. Most abortions are done this way. A mixture of various ingredients has been used for generations to terminate a pregnancy or prevent the development of an embryo.
Banning abortion across the board because of the beliefs of some that life begins at the moment of conception (that "moment" is impossible to know), and that it is a human being entitled to MORE rights than the girl or woman who is pregnant against their will, their desire, against their better judgment, is siding with one religious belief over the religious beliefs of another - who doesn't believe it is a human being at the moment of conception, but either believes that the spirit is infused later in the pregnancy or once they take their first breath of life outside the womb.
A heartbeat doesn't a human being make. You can take heart cells and put them in a Petri dish, send a tiny jolt of a current through the cells, and they will begin to beat and move around. It sounds just like a heartbeat... because that's what it is. But, it isn't a heart - just cells, and it isn't and never will be a baby because it is impossible for heart cells to become a human being.
The government should never be in a position to tell a girl or woman that they have to carry a fetus to full term and deliver.
If you believe that every pregnancy is a gift from God, no matter the circumstances, then you would have to believe that God approves of incest and rape because he wanted those two people to come together so he could bless them (the girl/woman and her rapist) with a baby. You should therefore also oppose adoption, because clearly God created that baby FOR that woman and that man.
What if that aborted fetus could have been a prophet, or what if Mary had an abortion? Well, ask yourself, what if Hitler's mom had an abortion?
An embryo, once it emerges from the uterine wall, looks amazingly like a plethora of other creatures at that early stage of the game - elephant fetuses looks shockingly like the human embryo at first.
We are all female until the developing organs develop into ovaries or testicles, a clitoris or a penis. Ambiguous genitalia affect 1 in 5,000 live births. Diagnostic procedures can be time-consuming, and often the etiology cannot be established in this group of individuals with differences/disorders of sex development (DSD). How many trans kids were born this way, and the hatred from people on the far-right, Evangelicult types, are spreading so much hatred toward these children and trying to pass laws that would leave them in a confusing and emotionally painful state throughout their entire childhood. In the past, if a choice had to be made for a newborn to be male or female, doctors had just made the decision and they perform surgery for whatever sex they divide it is... but later in life, that same child tells them they made the wrong choice.
Im pro choice but the description of the mid and late term abortions disturbed me.. it isn’t right, I feel like at that point adoption would be a better answer. But no judgement, i know everyones circumstances is different. Stay blessed and anyone going thru this right now know you will figure it out and it will get better.
I’m watching this video after my abortion and I feel no guilt. Rather a relief I’m not pregnant thankfully!
Thank you for sharing
Hey! Just here to remind you all that being aggressive and insulting while talking about the content in this video won't get anywhere or convince anyone of anything! Discussing with facts and respecting that other people have different views is so so important if you want the respect back ♥️
everyone read this
the most basic human right is the right to live. Let the babies live!! jesus is the answer!
For those saying "this is a two-sided informative video", please know that they want you to think so--but it really isn't. This video is laced with anti-choice sentiments. Between the heavy emphasis on abortion's health risks (and ignoring its potential benefits), intentional gruesome description and illustration of abortion procedures at 2:51, not elaborating on the benefits and "immediate relief" mentioned in 4:01 and going straight to the "negative emotions", referring to pregnancy and childbirth as a "natural course" of your body, the stark downplaying of parenthood's challenges (saying "additional financial needs" instead of downright "expensive"--the term they used to describe late-stage abortion), and the myriad of benefits they CHOSE to mention regarding parenthood, it's not hard to see the message being sent.
Abortion after 16 weeks- please people abortion shouldn't be dismissed over a cup of coffee. It can feel pain after 20 weeks, and taking the fetus out in that disturbing manner is just..
Actually no one knows when the fetus feels pain. Some studies say as early as 19 weeks other stay as late as 27. In Utah and some other states the fetus is not required to be put on anesthesia if the abortions being performed at 16-19 weeks or further.
*now required.
Half the comments are pro-life, the other half is hating on pro-life people. In all the arguments I've seen, no one has brought up the possibility of the baby being a product of rape. And the video is biased, though not as much as many of the abortion videos. It tells a lot about the negative sides of abortion, and barely anything about the possible negative affects of birth.
