- Opening up about unplanned pregnancy and abortion takes courage. These stories give us hope that one day, there will be communities where no one faces unplanned pregnancy alone.
The Voices Docuseries, created by Voices for the Voiceless, is a documentary series that tells the West Coast story of unplanned pregnancy. The product of over 130 man-on-the-street interviews, each episode explores major themes like isolation, shame, support, and strength.

Thank you for interviewing men too. Even though understandably the focus regarding the conversation about unplanned pregnancy is always on the woman, passing through this myself, this is litararily the only unjudgemetal source I could find where they include the male perspective. Thank you so much!
When people are reckless, they never want to take responsibility. No one wants to take the long hard road. No one. This is why I never judge single mothers. I chose to get married first and I am thankful but I can NEVER judge single parents, especially young ones. 😢 Those people chose to face shame, broken relationships and the terrifying unknown future they now had to protect a life they never wanted and to face, responsibility of theirdecisions. To see it THROUGH. I have MUCH respect to these people. 😢😢
Sometimes the hardest road is choosing abortion. I’ve done both. Both are hard in very different ways. It’s not simple and it’s not black and white which is why we cannot judge others
What about those who had abortions?
@@jerryn9690 I don't respect their decision and I believe someday, they will have to answer to a higher power. Not me. ❤ Again, I respect single mothers and fathers who chose to keep their children or give them up for adoption, dispising shame imposed on by the world.
@nicoobrowner59 I don't believe in a higher power. I don't care either way. I have no say in it as it's not my body. Have a great weekend!
@@jerryn9690 The thing is, whether you believe in a higher power or not, does not mean it does not exist. You can blind yourself to a moral compass all you want, even your entire life, but it doesn't change the fact that morality exists.
Thank you for your prompt reply! I wish you a lovely weekend as well. 🥰🥰
As a medical professional, I always say "No" to friends who ask me to support their idea of abortion. I tell them it is not my place to say "Don't do this.". I let them know it is their decision whether or not they carry on with it or not. However, I tell them to think about it carefully, saying "You have to think harder than ever. Pretty much the hardest you've done in your entire life.". Abortion is a decision and it's not just some "Oh I'mma have an abortion today." like it's a chore or something. It keep telling them that whever they decide on, they have to see to it until the very end and that whatever that decision gives them, they have to accept it.
THANK YOU
In sri lanka,it is a major issue and we cant take abortion due to the legal issues.I failed to be a teacher because of this because we cant marry or being pregnent during college time.I failed my life,no one listen to me.they only say it was your fault.I dont no how to face this.please help me😭😭😭😭😭

U know something it's crazy how some women will kill there baby cause a man wants them to that man don't love u but u killed the baby that would love u unconditionally ppl don't win in these situations #prolife
I don't know how to deal with this situation, a man can't decide if your baby will born or not, but doesn't have to stay by your side if you want to keep it, i mean , a Life is a life after all
But HOW did they get pregnant? HOW???
When you find out can you lemme know, I still don’t know how humans get pregnant
Sex
SEX..😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ironic this channel is called voices for the voiceless. But y’all present people who who take away the life of the most voiceless the Unborn.
child murder stories..... absolutely sickening... punishment for child murder should be a public hanging.....
The thing is no one talked about how they became pregnant?? We need to focused on how unplanned pregnancies happen (apart from the ones with failed contraception and those resulting from criminal acts). How did these unplanned pregnancies happen? Why are these couples not using contraceptives?? I just don’t get it
@@kaitlinfrank9312 Why "apart from the ones with failed contraception and those resulting from criminal acts"? What about those cases? Aren't they worth talking about? Do you have some solutions that would prevent all of these cases from ever occuring? Do you assume that none of this occured in the backstory of these people?
Failing contraception, rape, abusive and manipulative relationships with power imbalances may be more prevalent than you think. Why are you just assuming that there are all of these "healthy" couples just deciding to not use contraceptives?
If you are a woman who never experienced sexual assault, abuse, being manipulated into a situation you could not get out of, health problems that could interfere with contraception or even not being able to just afford the medical care you need also not having access to supplies for any reason related to location or personal mobility and so on... - count yourself lucky and be happy about not having to deal with such problems rather than making judgemental comments about others, assuming that people are just to lazy or to stupid to use contraception.
Good sex-ed may also be difficult to find in many places, especially if someone grows up in a community which labels all sexual matters as shameful and not apropriate to discuss at all, thus creating kids afraid of their own bodies turning into confused and frustrated teens who don't know which advice to follow, relying on peer gossip and porn as their main resource for relationship advice and anatomy research. I guess it's not a requirement to show contraceptives, model safe sex and healthy relationship attitudes in porn, or add disclaimers like "Unprotected sex may lead to unwanted pregnancies. Please contact a trusted medical professional to find out more about contraception and sexual health regarding your individual needs". :)
Some of them may not find any good resources even in their adulthood and just try to "wing it" or "go with the flow" in sexual matters because they accepted the shameful attitude of their upbringing and feel to confused or afraid to research further or just give up on that, assuming it's not necessary or important at all to seek information in such matters because they are supposed to unfold naturally. People may remain ignorant not just because they are stupid. Some may be ashamed, confused, not feel competent enough to find the right information or not be able to discern between good and bad advice, some may even be traumatized in some way and not ready or able to focus on the topic of sex. All of this leads to insufficient awareness and relationship problems which could potentially lead to the unfolding of many vicious cicles of abuse, self-abuse and hostility between sexes and also gender confusion, which do not correlate with low inteligence as much as priviledged and arrogant people want to believe, to make themselves feel superior. There are also many anecdotes about relationship confusion or sexual misconduct of people who are regarded as geniuses in history by the way.
@@Seamannon if you can write a whole essay explaining your point, why do you think it’s fair to jump to a whole bunch of conclusions about a very short comment I made. I watched a video the other day of a white woman explaining how she had her unplanned pregnancy and she literally said “I thought something like that didn’t happen to people like me. I thought that was below me” this is what she said and this is what she put up on the internet. Because she’s a privileged, white girl, she assumed if she had unprotected sex she wouldn’t get pregnant because that didn’t happened to people like her… I started watching reserving roe vs wade and a rich white woman, who was a stay at home wife with 5 kids wanted an abortion. What’s her excuse for not using contraception or not being educated about sex Ed? I saw another man on Netflix show about heists talking about how he had his first kid because he didn’t know how babies were made. A grown man. I watched another RUclips episode called middle ground where this man said he and his girlfriend became pregnant and she had to have abortion because they weren’t ready. And guess what? She became pregnant again and had another abortion. Enough with the excuses. Of course I have enough common sense to know that there are exceptions, such as the ones you mentioned. But people literally snitch on themselves all the time about how careless they are. Even my own gynecologist told me he has women coming into his office having unplanned pregnancies and he was so frustrated he called them stupid. Not women in abusive relationships, not the exceptions your mentioning. This came straight from the horses mouth. I agree with you completely, that sex education is definitely something that needs addressing and how American societies treat each other… the examples of abuse citizens witness from their government, the police, their history, and large cooperations is embedded in the fabric of your society. . This is where you get poor relationship dynamics and the lack of education is appalling and disgusting. I’m Canadian and abortion is legal in all stages of the pregnancy. But guess what? Only 1% of women get abortions. And of that 1%, 90% of them occur during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. So what’s your explanation for that? Keeping roe vs wade wasn’t going to solve all the issues you explained. Which is exactly why I said WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHY THESE UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES ARE HAPPENING. And you wrote a whole essay adding on to my point, while thinking you were teaching me something. But as you said… education right lol
@@kaitlinfrank9312 If we draw a chart, chances are majority of unplanned pregnancies happen because, well, they choose not to play it safe. Brought by unbridled hunger for sex and all... And well, that becomes a major issue when pregnancy occurs.
We have to face the reality that pregnancy resulting from rape and /or other criminal acts happen but so do unwanted pregnancies due to absolute disregard to contraception.
I guess it is safe to say that contraception is seen as taboo, the same as abortion is. There's a social stigma to contraception and abortion and so because of this, couples are left with just having unprotected sex and wishing that nothing comes out of it...
@@kaitlinfrank9312 contraceptives aren't 100 percent effective
