Only thing I would add - abortion can indeed affect your mental health. It is not a fun, easy thing to do. I still get sad thinking about it - but if had carried on with the pregnancy, I would have been much, much worse mentally, physically and economically
@ruaraidh74 If the refusal of your body to the not viable is considered killing, you're a killer. You refuse your body to the not viable daily. Go to jail, I guess. Please don't be illogical for emotional bait.
@mikaelkasike854 again, refusal of your body to the not viable can't count as a crime with malicious intent or we would all be in prison. There's not enough cells dude.
@@freedomishavingachoice3020 again, nobody is saying otherwise. He's talking about conceiving and subsequently killing human beings, not refusing someone's body to someone else. Try arguing with someone in the room, Nancy.
Unfortunately, my grandmother died due to an illegal abortion. She was beautiful to look at, very smart and independent. She was widowed at a young age and was left with two teenage daughters. She worked hard and could barely make ends meet. In her memory I live my best life🙏🏽💖 Much respect to all women who know why they have to make certain decisions in their lives. Trust the woman 🌹
Soooooo…if she didn’t do any abortion she would lived. You know, logic? Adoptions exsisted and I think she would prevail and would stand stronger at the end. She choosen poorly. RIP
@onomatopejaB what they're saying is it had to be illegal and thus very unsafe. If it were legal shed have had all the resources to not have died. Stupid
How many people suffer terribly for their whole life, because they were born into situations, that didn't actually provide the circumstances for it at all? And how many of them become addicts and/or commit suicide? Or simply suffer in silence until they die? It's cruel, unbelievably cruel. Don't get kids if they don't get a chance to live a mostly good life.
I think it’s important to realize that it doesn’t matter how good someone has it, unfortunately people will suffer regardless throughout life. That’s the darkness of life. You can’t have light without darkness. It isn’t far to play the judge, jury, and executioner, leaving any unborn baby without the opportunity to become a successful being. There are no statistics on babies who could have been potentially murdered being suicidal or born into awful situations. These are not parallels. There is no question that the government needs to do more to provide resources to individuals and families to support mental wellness and development. But in the same token one could say that it is unbelievably cruel to abort a fetus (for the sake of it being inconvenient) to alleviate its potential suffering because you are also denying any potential of that child to flourish and experience the beauty and light that can also come from existence itself.
@gabrielleambrose8657 It's important to realize that it DOES matter very, VERY much, how good or bad people have it because there is a huge difference in the amount of suffering. Your post is ignorant and it shows where you are coming from. No offense, it's just too human, sadly.
@gabrielleambrose8657 sounds like some of these people want income thresholds before someone is aloud to have children. All of these statements about poverty.....drugs.....homelessness.....they automatically assume that life for a baby born in a poor home is going to, undoubtedly have a terrible life. Maybe these folks need to take in a different perspective....like....I dont know....love the child....its notnjust about buying them things or having a giant TV. The #1 most important thing you can do as a parent is love your child. Children can do without a lot of the material things we think they need amd grow up ok....love and feeling actually wanted they cannot do without.
I am an old woman (68) and have had one of each; one abortion, one miscarriage, and one live birth (who is now 36). The abortion was emotionally disturbing because I wanted it but really no way to take care of it (very young and one night stand). The miscarriage was the most emotional disturbing. I was very fortunate to have abortion legally available in my case (Washington in 1973). I can't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't. I am sure it would have grown up very poor.
Hi, I also had a legal abortion in 1973. I have thought over and over about how my life would have been different. However during the 3rd month of the pregnancy I developed severe complications that could have killed me. I couldn't have children due to a blood defect. Thank you for your telling your experience. It's important for everyone to know.
@@ruaraidh74You celebrate your birthday the day you are born. Not the day you were conceived. A woman has a right to their own body autonomy and what they want to do with their body. Your circumstances are different from any human being on this planet. You are not the one who would raise the child. The one who gave birth would.
I was in Romania in 1990 when after 25 arduous years of oppression, the notoriously cruel and murderous dictator Ceaușescu was deposed as the people revolted. The world was horrified by the images that emerged from the countless orphanages, overflowing with babies and children, many of whom were infected with HIV/AIDS. Crammed into rusty, cage-like cots, the hollow eyed victims of a tyrannical ban on contraception and abortion, told of their desperate hunger, not only for nourishment, but also medicines, attention and love. An eerie silence echoed the would-be cries, that these victims of one man's campaign of terror, knew would go unanswered. Many had parents who were unable to feed their existing brood. Condemned to an existence knowing only suffering and pain, Ceausescu's children saw their mothers die, forced to seek dangerous illegal back street abortions. Driven into abject poverty, families knew their daughters faced the same perilous fate. We ignore history at our own peril. There's no reason why the consequences of America's war on female bodily autonomy should turn out any differently. They need to heed the warning and stand together now, before it's too late and the world turns their backs on a nation, too afraid to stand up for what is right for this generation and the many yet to come.
Stfu it wasn’t because of abortion or contraception it was because of a dictators bad leadership. The Us had abortion banned since forever there wasn’t a problem.
Help support mandatory DNA testing and stop paternity fraud. It is a human right to know if someone is or is not your child. It is also a national health issue.😊
Some years back, I had a dream which still haunts me. In the dream, abortion was completely outlawed in my state, Kentucky--no exceptions, not even health reasons. In fact, in the dream, any pregnant person with a life-threatening complication was required to receive end-of-life care in hospice until the baby was born or until the pregnant person died, whichever came first. The dream played out in part like a television news report, and the focus was on a 10-year-old rape victim who was heavily pregnant. She was a tiny, blonde-haired girl who could barely carry the extra weight. She knew that she wouldn't survive childbirth. She kept saying, in tears, that she didn't want to die. I have since written a poem about this, called "The Little Madonna." I dare someone to brush this off as a "false narrative." Far from. It's already happened, far too many times. While it's unlikely that anyone will spend their pregnancy in hospice (as if the politicians putting bans in place would actually care that much 😒), there will be far too many people lost to abortion restrictions, many of whom are children who will meet the same fate as the little girl in my dream. Abortion bans will cost more lives than they will save, and no one seems to understand that.
In a healthy law, your case would have been considered an exception. In general, it's not the general women populations experience. Stats say most abortions are financial reasons, then not being ready, and third already haven children. Abuse and medical emergencies tend to be near the end since the 80s, in the latter, because of newer medical treatments.
There are pros and cons to getting an abortion. Women are smart enough to make those hard decisions and have a right to their own body. It might upset them? Finding out they are pregnant already upset them!
women do indeed have a right to their own body and to make their own decisions, as long as that doesn’t mean harming another human body, which in this case it does.
@@FunTylerVids Through the slightly-convoluted syntax, & a bit of verbal trickery, I hear you saying that you are AGAINST all abortion. Is that not your meaning?
@@FunTylerVidswell, no matter what, the women should still have the final say as long as that fetus is connected to the woman’s body. No one should be forced to give birth. Since when were humans allowed to have full control of other humans organs they were born with?

Thank you, Diana, brilliant research and talk! I hope you (the US) get this issue sorted pronto! Getting pregnant at 16 was devastating, taking my own life or running away was on the table. I will forever remain grateful to the Norwegian state for my right to choose an abortion -- without having to tell my parents -- and for the Norwegian health service to care for me at such an early age. I've never regretted MY CHOICE one. single. day.
@@rager4able The collective wisdom of the medical community is that abortion is essential healthcare. You can’t pick and choose what science you want to champion.
This lady gave a wonderfully detailed reason for why ladies seek abortion. Thank you Ma'am. So glad my Mom raised me to be pro-choice as did I raise my daughters. They are 24 & almost 27 and neither have kids (I'm very proud of them).
May I ask why you are proud that your daughters don't have kids? I'm not saying you need to have kids, of course, but what is the reason that not having kids makes you proud?
There are always exceptions to people being assaulted, but having it so anyone can sleep with whomever they want and just kill a baby because they thought "I have the right" is horrible
As a voter, you have a choice. Do you ban abortions because of the tiny percentage of women who do this and make legal the horrific trauma stories of the other women who need healthcare, or do you keep abortion legal because keeping those women from suffering or dying is more important, but know that a tiny percentage of women make lousy choices? My preference is to not codify guaranteed suffering of women who are already having the worst day of their lives when an ultrasound reveals their baby never developed a skull.
If we start recognizing the trauma that‘unintended childbirth’ causes to the mother, we might have to start addressing how traumatic‘intended childbirth’ is. Then, we’ll have a real problem.
just like all the "unintended pregnancy" that so many women get sleeping around. Don't make me get into that statistics of of reason for abortions....incest and rape are under 1% of reasons.
But 'intended childbirth' is much less likely to be traumatic! Because then it is your decision to go through it! It's a sacrifice you make for something you strongly believe in! It's like donating an organ to a loved one to save their life compared to being kidnapped and robbed of an organ without giving consent.
@@xRockycherrYx that’s true, but it isn’t the point I intended to make. I’m saying, although ‘unintentional pregnancy’ is worse than an intentional one, the ‘intentional pregnancy’ is probably sufficiently traumatic that it would require public addressing if we acknowledged the trauma. Im also implying that the way we would have to address it as a community would not be fun.

How about instead of putting tax dollars to abortion we put those tax dollars to help support the baby. If someone gets pregnant though a one night stand they should be able to give the baby to the government
One other explanation for your assumptions: You studied two groups of women, those who wait until it's too late vs those who do not. How are their lives likely to play out? I could have told you this before the study. This is a contrast in personal awareness not received/denied care. All women who did not receive care were too late. ie less aware of themselves. Don't show us any of data, the study or where to find it. Just throw out all your assumptions and act like it's "conclusive"
As for putting a baby for adoption…they end up in the overloaded foster care system…most age out..angry…abused…unloved…look at the past of the Parkland School shooter!!!
I'm a 61 year old male. I've raised 4 girls and had two wives. Reliable birth control and legalized abortion have been introduced in our culture at about the same time. From what I can tell, it seems to me, things are not going well, particularly, in our social and relationship areas. I am a retired educator and part of that new-found boogey man, The White Protestant Male. I've lived in California my whole life and will soon be moving to another state. IMHO, the US we currently inhabit, in 50 years, will have split in two with conservatives forming a new nation. I have my grandsons move there. Thanks for reading.
What about the baby's rights? Here's what I got out of this video: Abortion doesn't harm mental health. Childbirth is more dangerous than abortion. Denying abortions harms women. finances, children, relationships, life aspirations Trust women.
@@JustinCarter do you want to say that sperm is a human being too? It contains the same DNA, it is organic matter, it _can_ evolve into a human - so sperm must be human too, mustn't it?
Pro-choice means full-spectrum care for mother and child, including supporting families in poverty to prevent abortion due to economic reasons alone, and including peer sexual health education to young people to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Late-term abortions are rare and occur when the life of the mother is at risk and the fetus is not viable. Let the woman decide, let the couple decide, trust them and trust their doctor to provide the care that protects their reproductive freedom in the future. Practically this is where the whole world is heading. Very vocal and very argumentative exchanges with anti-abortion proponents don't get far because the conversation never get to facts but stay stuck in semantics. Those who are very good at semantics but not good at empathy and not good at practical facts will win the "debate" every time (ex. Ben Shapiro is a very loud example of this). Fact: full spectrum care prevents abortions and maximize quality of life for mothers and their children. Anti-abortion just puts women's lives in danger.
So sad, this has shocked my view on abortion. I'm glad my mom didn't abort me. Could have been justified at the time considering we were pooping in a bucket the first 11 years of my life. It wasn't until my father Jack came along and worked our way out of poverty. Even though it wasn't his swimmer who birthed me! He set the foundation of who I am today. Unfortunately not everyone has the opportunity of having a father and strong leader. I wish the U.S. had the money to repair infrastructure to take care of these children.
Imagine an underaged sexual assault victim that gets complications and now in some states can be told that basically she'd now just need to die to protect the fetus that won't live outside her body anyway. Better luck in next life, I guess.
@7:33 come on, 100%!? That’s extremely fishy. Look at abortion videos on RUclips and there are tons of comments from women saying they regret it. So this study is messed up if it’s 100%.
Actually no since not everyone feels the same way so there are women who are likely happy with having had an abortion like there are women who regret it and she is discussing wanted abortions not unwanted
@@neigeepierrot4694what she actually says is “we followed those who were denied abortions and over 95% of those who had it said it was the right decision”. What she’s saying doesn’t make sense to me. So they were denied the abortion but they had it illegally anyway? I don’t understand what’s she’s saying. And then the chart is not titled in enough detail and says all women. No matter how I look at it, the chart, nor what she is saying have any merit because if it’s all women like the chart says, the number can’t be 100% as indicated in the graph based on sheer probability. If she’s talking about people who had the abortion after being denied, well that must be a very small subset of people so it wouldn’t have bearing on the larger issue.
As Mr. Spock would say, "Your statement is illogical"--i.e., you would not be here to have those sentiments had your embryo been aborted, and of course, there would still be billions of people having experiences equally-marvelous to yours.

@@group555_ When did "his logic" include "if you don't adopt babies you're part of the problem"?? That's not a valid argument you just invented premises that don't exist. There are at least 3 sets of parents waiting to adopt for every single baby in the adoption system. America has a massive baby shortage they don't need more adopters.
I have heard both sides on the spectrum make their arguments, pro-life and pro-choice. Both make some convincing valid points and can make one think ...... I pretty much yield to the left at this point of my life, but on the topic of abortion, I guess I'm in the middle. Both sides are quite persuasive and convincing.........
Putting aside being pro or anti, does anyone else find it strange that the love we feel towards our children is never mentioned? How, unless you're suffering from some psycopathy, every person loves their child once they are here. Even the ill equiped parents... ? I feel that was intentionally omitted. Kind of weird. If we are going to talk about it, lets talk about all of it. Real truth on both sides. Not carefully worded sales pitches.
I mean the love I have for my dog is beyond what most people feel for their children. But I would never force someone who didn’t want a dog to get one. Of course, that would only end in tragedy and suffering. Many women forced to have a child against their will will likely experience poverty and even infanticide.
@@ruaraidh74 that it is not true that everyone loves their childs. They don't need to psycho to do it. The aunt of my friend can't stand her child younger than 4 years old. And she is not crazy or something. But everyone has an opinion ☺️
As far as I no abortion was left up to each state not the government people have too get out and vote in their state how they want the abortion laws in their state no more letting the government control. The abortion laws in each state
What about prevention/adoption? Who advocate for the baby’s right? Abortion is an easy way out. There’s people that are willing to adopt unable to conceive. My daughter is an insemination baby.
Unless the guaranteed supports are available for both the mother and the CHILD, abortion should be available. My life as a result of not being aborted is terrible! Some women should not have children. Period.
Abortion is a form of sacrifice. You sacrifice one being for your future. Child sacrifice to be exact. If a mother was given the remains of the aborted baby the way she would recoil should be proof enough that it is inherently wrong. If she knew what gender the feotus was or the fact that it had hands at such an early stage would honestly make anyone reconsider their actions. Sadly people will never understand this.
“If the mother was given the remains” You do understand that in a medical abortion, which is the majority, the mother has to push said remains out along with the placenta?
@@TheLegendOfRandy no, I simply appreciate that she decided to give me life. She was unmarried, had no family support and had every excuse to say now was not the time to have a baby.

@@leenaright3949 First of all, I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. She sounds like she was an incredible person and that the world has a hole in it after loss. There's just something special about mothers. That said, you somewhat described my mother, too. Never really knew my dad, but she somehow managed to give her life up and raise 3 children on her own. I suppose my point is that I love my mother so much that I would have happily chose to never be born if it meant that she would have had an easier life as a result. She could be living the dream life, but she chose to have 3 kids, instead, and lose all of her money as a result. Personally, I'd rather never be born and let her live her dreams, but she _chose_ to give birth to 3 children instead. I'm so incredibly happy that she had that _choice._ I adore my mother. If she was legally _forced_ to give birth to me, against her will, I would feel sick to my stomach. I'm grateful that I was a choice and not a legal obligation.
Most people live believing "1 + 1 =2". Life is much more complicated. Try "1 + 1 = 3", make it work. You'll learn along the way. We are all just tomorrows' photograph in a dusty album.
You have the right to reproduce - that occurs at fertilization (when the new human being comes into existence). Obviously, no one should have the right to unalive a defenseless human being to make their life easier.

@@neigeepierrot4694 yea but it goes against what she’s trying to promote because even though they were turned away from having an abortion, women are approaching parity with those who got the abortion within only 5 years. Also, women who got the abortion didn’t improve their situation as their line is flat. So the graph basically says “if you have the kid you’ll be close to the same as those who got the abortion in 5 years”, and “women who were turned away either worked harder than those who weren’t to improve their situations, and/or were given the aid to do so”.
@@neigeepierrot4694 unless, the blue line is the poverty limit. Then it makes sense, but she can’t label or explain the graph right. What’s the good of showing the graph without including data from women who weren’t turned away. That’s what I want to see. Without that data, her graph is pointless. We don’t need a line to see the poverty limit, just say it’s 40% or whatever the figure was. And what’s “near limit”? So it’s a higher number than the limit just to make it look like these women are closer to poverty? Also, she has “1 week” written on the bottom for no reason, then it goes to years. Why even write that in there? Just delete it and write years in there. This woman doesn’t know how to explain things to people and doesn’t know how to use data to represent her stance on an issue, and doesn’t know how to label graphs.
@@educateyourself3872 I don’t really think so since things were still better for those who got the abortion but a little bit worse for those who didn’t so there is a difference just not a massive one so there isn’t a point denying women an abortion since she did mention things equal out after five years but the health effect are worse for the women who keep it

What’s sadder is your attempt to manipulate people by using inflammatory verbiage. Don’t engage in the public discourse about abortion access unless you exercise intellectual integrity and emotional maturity.
Foster would not be live, nor had the chance to build an obviously loving and caring relationship with her grandmother had that grandmother been able to sbort her mother. Is Foster suggesting that her mother and her own lives are not worthbthe struggles her grandmother experienced? ALL mothers (and fathers) struggle, even happily and financially stable ones. What is utterly lost in this TED talk is the unquantifiable value of human life and the disregard for that life if it is unborn.
No she is saying Everyone deserves a choice since it isn’t offensive to admit that her grandmother would have raised her mother differently if she was forced to give birth not decide too so she would be different
I just want to say that this was the biggest mistake of my life that at the time i thought i was making the right decision. I know im not alone with that thought and all i have to say is, they should offer and discuss possible therapy or counseling to these women, which they do not. They treat you like a piece of meat through the process. There is no sympathy. Most of these places dont even make sure its really what you want or what is best for the patients who feel like they have to take this kind of route. I live with my regret every single day. Ive asked for forgiveness and ive cried a ton. I hate myself inside because of it. If they want to sensationalize this method. They should at least be honest about the emotional side of it. And who is to blame for women feeling like they have to go through this procedure? Who? Really, think about that.... No im not blaming men... Keep thinking.....
Is it any different for a miscarriage or a live birth delivery? How about still birth. I have had experience with all of these and can tell you that the situation is worse for women in these situations. Yes, you do need counselling if you are not able to recover and move on.

That was not the case for my friend who received the abortion. The guilt ate her up. However another friend she accepted her abortion and had another one. Another lady I knew ( an acquaintance had four). It will depend on the individual. The acquaintance was glad she did because she could not afford it. My friend who had two wished she would have been more responsible as she reflects on her past. She sees things differently now. If my daughter should ever get pregnant I would advise her to have it and decide if she wants to keep it. I personally believe that aborting a child would be hard. A lot of women cannot have children. There are couples who are willing to adopt.
I’d take a look at the study! It’s actually very well done and rigorous.

@@geoffrobinson There is someone every day that could survive if only they had access to your unwilling body. Just because they aren't viable doesn't grant them access to it.

Fourth and Fifth wave feminism has gone too far. Father's rights must be protected. Otherwise, the secret abortions that often occur lead to mistrust (once a man learns); he doesn't know if the child is his, even if it is the father's child; he has the right to help determine (with mate) if abortion is valid for their relationship, etc. The man has the right to stay in the relationship or leave, just like the woman, but medical institutions want the body parts from the fetus/baby, so they don't care about the male/female relationship. Black women are disproportionately getting abortions and c-sections (there is a classism and racism issue in medical institutions that is often swept under the rug). PS: Most right-wingers don't care, however, about poor folks' babies and hunger (especially black parents); most of the white right-wingers only care about their bible and stopping abortion.
Abortion is a serious trauma for the woman concerned as well as for the soul of the being in the making. often this remains attached to the mother for a long time, unable to ascend into the light

How many people suffer terribly for their whole life, because they were born into situations, that didn't actually provide the circumstances for it at all? And how many of them become addicts and/or commit suicide? Or simply suffer in silence until they die? It's cruel, unbelievably cruel. Don't get kids if they don't get a chance to live a mostly good life.
I think it’s important to realize that it doesn’t matter how good someone has it, unfortunately people will suffer regardless throughout life. That’s the darkness of life. You can’t have light without darkness. It isn’t far to play the judge, jury, and executioner, leaving any unborn baby without the opportunity to become a successful being. There are no statistics on babies who could have been potentially murdered being suicidal or born into awful situations. These are not parallels. There is no question that the government needs to do more to provide resources to individuals and families to support mental wellness and development. But in the same token one could say that it is unbelievably cruel to abort a fetus (for the sake of it being inconvenient) to alleviate its potential suffering because you are also denying any potential of that child to flourish and experience the beauty and light that can also come from existence itself.

The #1 most important thing you can do as a parent is love your child. Children can do without a lot of the material things we think they need amd grow up ok....love and feeling actually wanted they cannot do without.
I am an old woman (68) and have had one of each; one abortion, one miscarriage, and one live birth (who is now 36). The abortion was emotionally disturbing because I wanted it but really no way to take care of it (very young and one night stand). The miscarriage was the most emotional disturbing. I was very fortunate to have abortion legally available in my case (Washington in 1973). I can't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't. I am sure it would have grown up very poor.
Translation: You had 3 children. You killed the first one. The second one died tragically. And the third is a healthy 36 year old today.
Hi, I also had a legal abortion in 1973. I have thought over and over about how my life would have been different.

The world was horrified by the images that emerged from the countless orphanages, overflowing with babies and children, many of whom were infected with HIV/AIDS. Crammed into rusty, cage-like cots, the hollow eyed victims of a tyrannical ban on contraception and abortion, told of their desperate hunger, not only for nourishment, but also medicines, attention and love. An eerie silence echoed the would-be cries, that these victims of one man's campaign of terror, knew would go unanswered. Many had parents who were unable to feed their existing brood. Condemned to an existence knowing only suffering and pain, Ceausescu's children saw their mothers die, forced to seek dangerous illegal back street abortions. Driven into abject poverty, families knew their daughters faced the same perilous fate. We ignore history at our own peril.

Some years back, I had a dream which still haunts me.
In the dream, abortion was completely outlawed in my state, Kentucky--no exceptions, not even health reasons. In fact, in the dream, any pregnant person with a life-threatening complication was required to receive end-of-life care in hospice until the baby was born or until the pregnant person died, whichever came first.
The dream played out in part like a television news report, and the focus was on a 10-year-old rape victim who was heavily pregnant. She was a tiny, blonde-haired girl who could barely carry the extra weight. She knew that she wouldn't survive childbirth. She kept saying, in tears, that she didn't want to die.
I have since written a poem about this, called "The Little Madonna."
I dare someone to brush this off as a "false narrative." Far from. It's already happened, far too many times. While it's unlikely that anyone will spend their pregnancy in hospice (as if the politicians putting bans in place would actually care that much 😒), there will be far too many people lost to abortion restrictions, many of whom are children who will meet the same fate as the little girl in my dream. Abortion bans will cost more lives than they will save, and no one seems to understand that.

In a healthy law, your case would have been considered an exception. In general, it's not the general women populations experience. Stats say most abortions are financial reasons, then not being ready, and third already haven children. Abuse and medical emergencies tend to be near the end since the 80s, in the latter, because of newer medical treatments.
In a healthy law, the rapist would have been punished, and whether or not you chose abortion would be up to you.

Pro-choice means full-spectrum care for mother and child, including supporting families in poverty to prevent abortion due to economic reasons alone, and including peer sexual health education to young people to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Late-term abortions are rare and occur when the life of the mother is at risk and the fetus is not viable. Let the woman decide, let the couple decide, trust them and trust their doctor to provide the care that protects their reproductive freedom in the future. Practically this is where the whole world is heading. Very vocal and very argumentative exchanges with anti-abortion proponents don't get far because the conversation never get to facts but stay stuck in semantics. Those who are very good at semantics but not good at empathy and not good at practical facts will win the "debate" every time (ex. Ben Shapiro is a very loud example of this). Fact: full spectrum care prevents abortions and maximize quality of life for mothers and their children. Anti-abortion just puts women's lives in danger.

I have heard both sides on the spectrum make their arguments, pro-life and pro-choice. Both make some convincing valid points and can make one think ......
I pretty much yield to the left at this point of my life, but on the topic of abortion, I guess I'm in the middle.
Both sides are quite persuasive and convincing.........
Thank you ❤
I wasn't getting rid of my baby.. I thank God for being the center of my life and the reference in my decision
these comments arent it lmao you're outing yourself
Putting aside being pro or anti, does anyone else find it strange that the love we feel towards our children is never mentioned? How, unless you're suffering from some psycopathy, every person loves their child once they are here. Even the ill equiped parents... ? I feel that was intentionally omitted. Kind of weird. If we are going to talk about it, lets talk about all of it. Real truth on both sides. Not carefully worded sales pitches.
I mean the love I have for my dog is beyond what most people feel for their children. But I would never force someone who didn’t want a dog to get one. Of course, that would only end in tragedy and suffering. Many women forced to have a child against their will will likely experience poverty and even infanticide.

When woman are denied abortion, thier saving a future life
But the woman’s life is ruined?
What about prevention/adoption? Who advocate for the baby’s right? Abortion is an easy way out. There’s people that are willing to adopt unable to conceive. My daughter is an insemination baby.
You had a choice. Let other women make their own choices about their bodies.

Sadly, few Trump voters will watch this, and if they did, they wouldn’t believe any of it.

Abortion is a form of sacrifice. You sacrifice one being for your future. Child sacrifice to be exact. If a mother was given the remains of the aborted baby the way she would recoil should be proof enough that it is inherently wrong. If she knew what gender the feotus was or the fact that it had hands at such an early stage would honestly make anyone reconsider their actions. Sadly people will never understand this.
“If the mother was given the remains”
You do understand that in a medical abortion, which is the majority, the mother has to push said remains out along with the placenta?

@@leenaright3949 First of all, I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. She sounds like she was an incredible person and that the world has a hole in it after loss. There's just something special about mothers.
That said, you somewhat described my mother, too. Never really knew my dad, but she somehow managed to give her life up and raise 3 children on her own.
I suppose my point is that I love my mother so much that I would have happily chose to never be born if it meant that she would have had an easier life as a result. She could be living the dream life, but she chose to have 3 kids, instead, and lose all of her money as a result.
Personally, I'd rather never be born and let her live her dreams, but she _chose_ to give birth to 3 children instead.
I'm so incredibly happy that she had that _choice._ I adore my mother. If she was legally _forced_ to give birth to me, against her will, I would feel sick to my stomach.
I'm grateful that I was a choice and not a legal obligation.

Did you ask the women that were denied the abortion if they wish they had still had it once they raised their children?
Please everyone share this. Important! We need to return the private constitutional reproductive decision right to We, the People.
You have the right to reproduce - that occurs at fertilization (when the new human being comes into existence). Obviously, no one should have the right to unalive a defenseless human being to make their life easier.
What is she talking about with the poverty issue? The graph lines are reaching parity after having the child.
She is talking about how these women had to take time off work for the baby and child care and prenatal care and the fact that women who had abortions we’re able to go on with their education or career kids change things
@@neigeepierrot4694 yea but it goes against what she’s trying to promote because even though they were turned away from having an abortion, women are approaching parity with those who got the abortion within only 5 years. Also, women who got the abortion didn’t improve their situation as their line is flat. So the graph basically says “if you have the kid you’ll be close to the same as those who got the abortion in 5 years”, and “women who were turned away either worked harder than those who weren’t to improve their situations, and/or were given the aid to do so”.
@@neigeepierrot4694 unless, the blue line is the poverty limit. Then it makes sense, but she can’t label or explain the graph right. What’s the good of showing the graph without including data from women who weren’t turned away. That’s what I want to see. Without that data, her graph is pointless. We don’t need a line to see the poverty limit, just say it’s 40% or whatever the figure was. And what’s “near limit”? So it’s a higher number than the limit just to make it look like these women are closer to poverty?
Also, she has “1 week” written on the bottom for no reason, then it goes to years. Why even write that in there? Just delete it and write years in there. This woman doesn’t know how to explain things to people and doesn’t know how to use data to represent her stance on an issue, and doesn’t know how to label graphs.
@@educateyourself3872 I don’t really think so since things were still better for those who got the abortion but a little bit worse for those who didn’t so there is a difference just not a massive one so there isn’t a point denying women an abortion since she did mention things equal out after five years but the health effect are worse for the women who keep it

@@anniejuan1817I’d say the first, sure in both situations the child is unwanted by the mother but at least the second gives the child his/ her natural right to live
What’s sadder is your attempt to manipulate people by using inflammatory verbiage. Don’t engage in the public discourse about abortion access unless you exercise intellectual integrity and emotional maturity.
@rager4able the right to life does not include an unwilling body when we are not viable.
Foster would not be live, nor had the chance to build an obviously loving and caring relationship with her grandmother had that grandmother been able to sbort her mother. Is Foster suggesting that her mother and her own lives are not worthbthe struggles her grandmother experienced? ALL mothers (and fathers) struggle, even happily and financially stable ones. What is utterly lost in this TED talk is the unquantifiable value of human life and the disregard for that life if it is unborn.
No she is saying Everyone deserves a choice since it isn’t offensive to admit that her grandmother would have raised her mother differently if she was forced to give birth not decide too so she would be different
I just want to say that this was the biggest mistake of my life that at the time i thought i was making the right decision. I know im not alone with that thought and all i have to say is, they should offer and discuss possible therapy or counseling to these women, which they do not. They treat you like a piece of meat through the process. There is no sympathy. Most of these places dont even make sure its really what you want or what is best for the patients who feel like they have to take this kind of route.
I live with my regret every single day.
Ive asked for forgiveness and ive cried a ton. I hate myself inside because of it.
If they want to sensationalize this method. They should at least be honest about the emotional side of it.
And who is to blame for women feeling like they have to go through this procedure? Who? Really, think about that.... No im not blaming men... Keep thinking.....
Is it any different for a miscarriage or a live birth delivery? How about still birth. I have had experience with all of these and can tell you that the situation is worse for women in these situations.
Yes, you do need counselling if you are not able to recover and move on.
Maybe you're beating yourself up because the people you surround yourself with are rabidly anti-choice.

This is such a sad overview of where our culture is. A woman speaking in euphemisms because she cannot acknowledge either the women or the kids involved. She then quickly concludes that there wasn't any mental harm in "people who got abortions."
Mental health was clearly the first to go, but no one listening in auditorium called her out, and TED promoted her view to the wider public. God help us.
There is more harm in denying the choice. Those with both the right to give birth and not give birth are the happiest people in less poverty. You didn't watch the video.

That was not the case for my friend who received the abortion. The guilt ate her up. However another friend she accepted her abortion and had another one. Another lady I knew ( an acquaintance had four). It will depend on the individual. The acquaintance was glad she did because she could not afford it. My friend who had two wished she would have been more responsible as she reflects on her past. She sees things differently now. If my daughter should ever get pregnant I would advise her to have it and decide if she wants to keep it. I personally believe that aborting a child would be hard. A lot of women cannot have children. There are couples who are willing to adopt.

Think about the two study groups, it was a bias study from the start.
Fourth and Fifth wave feminism has gone too far. Father's rights must be protected. Otherwise, the secret abortions that often occur lead to mistrust (once a man learns); he doesn't know if the child is his, even if it is the father's child; he has the right to help determine (with mate) if abortion is valid for their relationship, etc. The man has the right to stay in the relationship or leave, just like the woman, but medical institutions want the body parts from the fetus/baby, so they don't care about the male/female relationship. Black women are disproportionately getting abortions and c-sections (there is a classism and racism issue in medical institutions that is often swept under the rug). PS: Most right-wingers don't care, however, about poor folks' babies and hunger (especially black parents); most of the white right-wingers only care about their bible and stopping abortion.
Nonsense.
Abortion is a serious trauma for the woman concerned as well as for the soul of the being in the making. often this remains attached to the mother for a long time, unable to ascend into the light
