Are abortion rights needed to create a truly equal society?
00:00:10.840
You guys have it here up to six months, but in the US we don't.
00:00:16.280
So are abortion rights needed to create a truly equal society?
00:00:36.840
However, obviously we have common law in this country.
00:00:39.720
I do think that there should be some kind of, you know, common law where under specific circumstances you might qualify for one.
00:00:48.740
But I think the general standard legislation should be that it's illegal.
00:00:53.960
And then under certain circumstances or situations, which I think they're pretty obvious.
00:01:02.700
And also, like, if it's, you know, if the child is going to be born, like, disabled or something, I do agree that maybe you should be able to decide if you want to.
00:01:14.960
I'm not going to get into that because I don't actually know how I feel about that.
00:01:16.920
But generally, I don't really believe in abortion at all, really.
00:01:27.320
When things happen in life and, you know, I might fall pregnant and I'm...
00:01:44.320
Pregnant, yeah, but if I become pregnant and, God forbid, my husband lost his job and, you know, we're not really great financially, whatever the circumstances are, and we are not fit to raise children, of course I want an abortion.
00:02:00.160
Are you typically with men that don't have jobs and can't raise children?
00:02:06.540
I hope not, but we never know what will happen in life, you know?
00:02:13.400
But you have the option of contraception, so why not pick that option first and think preventatively instead of reactionally?
00:02:29.620
I had the contraception pill and I got a child.
00:02:37.120
I wouldn't ever consider that with my partner, but I had the contraceptive pill and it didn't work.
00:02:52.100
So long ago, I don't really know, but it didn't work.
00:03:00.000
I don't take contraception, so I did take the morning after pill and it didn't work.
00:03:04.540
Yeah, but that's a choice to not be on birth control.
00:03:08.480
I'm not on birth control, which is why I said I agree with you.
00:03:11.900
I believe that you should have the option, but I think the options that you choose in terms of not keeping a child,
00:03:18.980
I believe that you should be able to justify them.
00:03:20.980
Like, if a woman feels she's not mentally stable to have the child or for all the right reasons,
00:03:26.520
I think if you've got options to do everything else, then I do believe you should have that option.
00:03:34.920
Like, it has to happen immediately if you do...
00:03:37.620
If it's like you've got a bump and I don't agree with that, I think that's wrong.
00:03:52.520
Like, as soon as you know, if you believe that you don't want a child, you've got to act really quick.
00:03:57.880
But the woman's body's a bit messy, so you might still be bleeding.
00:04:01.900
Anything past like seven, eight weeks, and I don't know.
00:04:09.140
A lot of people don't even find that until after two months.
00:04:11.860
I know a couple of people that they're like three months, and they're like,
00:04:16.540
I had somebody ask me to take them to a clinic in London, because I'm from Birmingham,
00:04:21.540
when she was like six months, and I wouldn't do that.
00:04:28.980
I understand it's got a heartbeat as soon as you're pregnant, but that's a full-grown child.
00:04:48.380
They're on the plane, and then they had no last thing.
00:04:52.300
To me, it's just being bailed out for a bad decision.
00:04:55.460
At the end of the day, take birth control, or don't have sex.
00:05:00.060
Or don't sleep with people that wouldn't be good fathers,
00:05:08.340
That's not always the reason for not having a baby.
00:05:11.880
I don't think it's an excuse that people have one-night stands,
00:05:14.160
and I don't even think that we should be saying,
00:05:16.380
like, oh, people have one-night stands, so shit, like...
00:05:23.480
You could actually be in a committed relationship,
00:05:26.380
and then you want an abortion for whatever reason.
00:05:34.800
But it doesn't change the fact that it does happen.
00:05:36.740
But my whole thing is it's a bailout for poor decisions,
00:05:39.300
because at the end of the day, if you got pregnant,
00:05:45.140
There'll be a lot more illegal abortions, though.
00:05:47.360
Like, people will be going to, like, back corners,
00:05:49.260
and I think it's better to do it the proper way.
00:05:51.500
Well, obviously, there's no proper way to think,
00:05:53.780
but, like, the proper way, surgically, everything,
00:05:56.340
then to go to back corners, down people's alleys.
00:06:06.720
So they pull off the leg, then they pull off the next leg,
00:06:08.760
then they pull off the arm, then the other arm,
00:06:17.440
You can have that done, like, as soon as it's got limbs.
00:06:20.000
The other way it starves the kid and it, like, falls out.
00:06:23.080
And I had a girl on the show explaining her abortion
00:06:26.640
and she said she was shocked by how formed it was
00:06:41.740
because I feel like everyone should have the right
00:06:43.360
to have a choice of what they would like to do with their body.
00:06:55.460
What about the women, right, in cultural traditions
00:06:59.980
who get pregnant, and if they don't get rid of that child,
00:07:06.180
They are responsible, but they're also in a lot of danger.
00:07:10.420
But this is what people always do with the abortion argument,
