Exactly. Insane. Also, she implied and very nearly straight up said she should have the personal right to deny someone an abortion because she wants to adopt the child.
But Bonnie. Why do YOU get to choose for us? You get to feel all those feelings, and you can think I'm a murderer. But you still don't get to choose for us.
This woman is all emotion and no education or information. I find it frightening to hear someone so passionate who is so woefully lacking in critical faculties. I don't want to be overly harsh (this is the internet, after all, and I'm not speaking directly to her), but I am genuinely taken aback at her poor reasoning skills and childishly unsophisticated take on bodily autonomy and application of the law. Also (and this is not germane to the point I'm making, but I have to bring it up), she sounds like Mike Lindell, both in her accent and lack of substance. On a final note, I rolled my eyes so hard they almost fell out of my head when she accused other people of being stupid. Someone needs to give this woman a mirror.
And it's no fun either. Nobody has an abortion because it's fun and super convenient and then she can walk around again “without consequences”. Nobody has an abortion lightly, it's never an easy decision. And it is neither pleasant nor fun. You can tell that these anti-choice people have never talked to other people in their lives.
The "Argument from Ickiness”: It’s gross/bad/weird to me so it can’t possibly be anything but gross/bad/weird to everyone else and must also be wrong/a lie/impossible/unacceptable/immoral/harmful/destructive for absolutely everyone. It’s just “common sense” and "obviously" wrong to disagree… /s
This, folks, is why we shouldn't base society on the opinions of people who were young in the 1960s. Life experience is one thing, but humans have learned an incredible amount since then. Also, the rage that came from her because of a decision that has literally nothing to do with her is a huge red flag.
Bonnie is wildly historically inaccurate in her claim that more abortions happened before RvW. Abortions/1000 in the USA nearly doubled in the ten years after Roe V Wade was enacted (16.3 > 29.3). 2010 was the first year the rate was lower. Bonnie's taking everything based on vibes. Edit with more fun facts from these statistics: Under the last Republican government, abortion rates actually increased for the first time since the mid-1980s. The abortion rate has always fallen faster under a Dem government. Eyeing the total delta of rates across terms, the Dems are roughly responsible for -8 over 3 terms, where the Reps are responsible for +10 over 4. Americans - if you actually want fewer abortions, it's not even a close race - vote Democrat.
I grew up in the 60-70s and… there was a ton of media coverage on the ERA & Roe, & how women didn’t had the same rights as men. There was also coverage of our soldiers fighting a war on tv. And sadly, before that, I was the victim of CSA. Those factors made a life-long impact on me. I learned that some men fight wars & SA children, while women did all the hard work of making & raising children. This lead me to become a single issue, pro-choice voter from my first ballot.
About rape…she is missing something vital: way too often, you cannot get a conviction. If a person requires the threshold of evidence for a conviction in order to get an abortion, a lot- maybe even most!- will not be able to get one. More, even if they can, there is another important thing she is missing in context: this is a time sensitive matter. By the time the rapist gets convicted, the child will be born and up and about. In other words, you cannot possibly have abortions depend on anyone being able to prove actual sexual assault. This is why, while rape exceptions soothe people like this caller’s conscience, in practical terms they tend to be very ineffective.
Just yesterday I saw a new story about a doctor in Oregon who was accused of SA by at least 100 women and children, and prosecutors decided not to file any charges against him. He moved to Utah (he was a Mormon, of course) and lost his medical license, but isn't facing any criminal charges for years of abuse.
@@tekbarrier Sadly, it does not surprise. Going by this caller’s reasoning, any of the victims of that guy would be unable to get an abortion. Add to this the many rape kits that are “forgotten” a bit all the States and it becomes all too obvious that rape exceptions exist more to pacify people’s conscience than to genuinely help those directly affected.
In her defence, she used the phrases 'in most cases' or 'most of the time' A LOT. She knows there are a tonne of outliers - she just doesn't care what happens to them, or their children.
@@segue2ant395 She is still wrong. Most rape cases do not even go to trial, for one. There is plenty of documentation on this, it is something like two thirds. So no, in most cases rape exceptions are useless.
The requirement of having to report to the police is such a bad idea. Anything that delays abortion or potentially puts women at risk of further abuse by trying to get help is dangerous. Stop judging women for making a decision about their own life.
Her answer again and again is that a fetus with arms, legs, and a heartbeat is a human being. Therefore, terminating a pregnancy at that stage is murder. No other issues and scenarios make sense to her.
She really has a woeful understanding of fetal development and human gestation. But the way she got so upset over other people's choices is really weird.
8:57 wow. She basically just said, “I should have the right to force someone else to carry a pregnancy so that I can adopt that child.” Jesus H Christ.
Fine, the rapist gets turned in, takes months to get through the trial, the rapist does not get convicted, and by the time the trial is over, she's already had the child. Makes sense.
Your feelings about someone elses choices about their own body are not arguments against that choice. Dont like abortion? Dont get one. Better yet, tell me one secular reason why someone shouldnt be allowed to end a first trimester pregnancy?
It used to be the safest place for a baby was in the womb, back in the day. Now the baby is a fetus thought of as living off another's body. The older generations still think of fetuses as babies that need protection. As the older people die out the morality on the matter is changing.
Isn't that what they call “generational trauma”? One generation passes on its trauma to the next? The father beats his child because he was beaten as a child and so on?
This was a hard video to watch. I grew up in fundamentalist/evangelical Christianity in the 1970s-80s and had "pro-life" repeatedly shoved into my mind from about 1980, onward. I left my parents' church as a young adult and didn't know what to believe. Wound up in a relationship with a guy who was a good friend of mine, but he changed when we became more than friends, and I was too naïve to realize how abusive it was until I became pregnant and realized he would be a terrible father. He never hit me. It wasn't that kind of abusive. He became paranoid, jealous, and controlling, and he became s3xually abusive, doing things like having s3x with me while I was sound asleep, and I'd wake up scared out of my gourd, unable to move and barely able to breathe. Next day, I'd tell him how much I hated that, begging him to leave me alone when I'm sleeping, and he would be so apologetic and sweet that I fell for it every time, until one day, I didn't. It was like I woke up, and his charisma no longer worked on me. Anyway, that's how I ended up pregnant, because of course, he didn't use protection during those times, and there was no morning after pill in the early 90s. Yes, I should've been on the pill. I was on the pill during the relationship previous to this guy, but it really messed up my emotions and contributed to a lot of my depression and anxiety, so I hoped barrier methods would suffice. In regard to becoming pregnant, I felt a lot of pressure from the "pro-lifers" and "pro-choicers" in my life at the time, and I realized how important being able to decide for yourself really is, and it's really no one's business outside of you and your doctor. I ended up deciding carry/raise my child (now grown) as a single parent, and for better or for worse, I don't regret it. However, back to the video, had I decided to abort instead (say, at or before the 12-week mark) would Bonnie think I'm a murderer? I don't think it's murder until/unless the fetus is viable outside of the womb, at which point, it becomes a human infant. Also, the circumstances of the pregnancy and/or the reasons for deciding to abort are irrelevant to the question of murder.
These things are complicated and are covered by doctors patient confidentiality. If you aren't the doctor and you aren't the patient. You don't have standing and should see your way out of the conversation.
She’s obviously lost it. I also find it really annoying when people say to be respectful or not too harsh on the people arguing against our rights. The oppressed don’t have to respect their oppressors.
Sometimes it is and rightfully so... Baseless, hyperbolic, assertion for the purpose of de-legitimizing or de-humanizing the opposition and falsely propping up your narrative... Not even once... Not even to prove a point... Not even to support the moral side… Unless you don’t care at all about being part of the problem and confirming to the wilfully ignorant that they are justified in dismissing any knowledge they don’t like as “fake news”.

@@Ghalaghor_McAllistor Well, I do shave my face, but I would absolutely never, never eat a shrimp. They say that some people eat snails but who would believe that now. SIN, SIN! Give me Jesus.
The only thing that should matter for terminating a pregnancy, should be the age of the fetus, 12 weeks a think is a good amount of time for anybody to decide if they want to continue the pregnancy or not, after this period should be case by case.
I have mixed feelings on abortion. If you don't want kids don't get your significant other pregnant in the first place. But on the other hand if you get pregnant and then decide you don't want a kid for some reason then when it's born then give up to an adoption agency.
The longer she talked the more amd more panicked she sounded, so weird
"Women should be able to get an abortion, but only if I approve of the circumstances.".
That's exactly what she's saying. The nerve.
Exactly. Insane. Also, she implied and very nearly straight up said she should have the personal right to deny someone an abortion because she wants to adopt the child.
I find it identical to the statement: “I want all people to be free, except my slaves of course.”

The formality of getting an abortion should be super easy, because making the decision to get an abortion is almost always very hard
