Fair enough. I'm personally pro-life. After watching the video, it helped me get a better picture of what abortion eliminates: a perfectly functioning person with hopes and dreams. Barring all fringe case of abuse and rape, for people who are irresponsible with sex, and even those who have unexpected pregnancies while using contraception, I believe that it's criminal to abort a child at any point, time (1 month, 3 months, 6 months) makes no difference in the fact that what's living inside the womb is a future person with hopes and dreams. However, I'm also libertarian. Would I prefer abortion be legally controlled? It really depends. I don't think our society is open to it, so honestly no. In a society that was more in tune with my moral values, I think it might be a safe approach but then again it probably wouldn't be necessary at that point. Also, in such a society, abortion would be a very personal issue still and so I'm still feeling libertarian about it. But then again, many things are personal and touchy yet fringe on legality (suicide for example). So I'm not completely sure how I feel about it. I appreciate you asking for my opinion. |
First off thank you for being reasonable with your opinion.
Second, I do hope that this one video has not swayed your descision on the matter (though I doubt it did) as I believe it should take multiple reasons to form an opinion.
An last, I am glad you have an opinion but are not obtuse with it (just not a fan of people thinking we should all think the same), as I believe everyone should have the right to think freely and have different opinions, and you have strong and respectable opinion at that.
Added: we had a reasonable Internet Discussion with differing opinions.
