Ah, the bliss of younthful ignorance. |

DP- I know. I mean... why bother. But they could at least get familiar with some of the biology involved. If people are going to form extreme opinions THAT THREATEN THE LIVES and health of real living breathing women, could they not at least educate themselves? |
Please ignore the hater above. |

I realize that I’m just an idiot teenager with no life experience, who slept through science class, but here’s my opinion:
Abortion makes me sad. Awesome! |
Yeah I will. I’m not an expert on abortion but I do know that one of the reasons the world is so messed up is because of the lack of respect and sincerity a lot of people have for people with different views than their own. Ok officiallly leaving the chat now, I had to comment one more time

It makes me sad too. It’s a very sad thing. Almost no one is “pro” abortion. In fact, most people who push for abortion rights also push for birth control, sex ed, and health care to PREVENT abortions. In a perfect world, birth control will always work, horny teens with limited frontal-lobe development wouldn’t have unprotected sex, no one would get pregnant until they were ready (financially stable & in a loving, nonabusive relationship), babies would be all healthy, etc. But we don’t live in a perfect world. You’ll learn that as you become older. People have sex. Abortions will happen. Regardless of the laws. If you want to prevent abortions, go push for education (not just abstinence), healthcare, and free contraception. Those are effective ways to reduce unwanted pregnancies and abortions. |
I get that you are young. You are also an adult now. Thinking about things, or just being passionate about them without actually educating yourself, is not enough. It's actually disrespectful to the topic, if you care about it. If you want to argue with people about law and policy, know what the laws under discussion actually say. If you want to argue with people about medical or other science matters, know what the actual outcomes are. If you want to argue with people about literature, then actually read the texts. When I was young, all I had was feeling strongly about things. My friends and I used that as a substitute for actual knowledge. You can do better than I did. |
Thanks for the advice. |
I'm the person you thanked. I'm serious about this: we need you. We need your generation to be smarter than we were, and wiser, and better. That's regardless of whether you and I agree on this or any issue. Thank you for your maturity and passion. Match it with as much rigor as you can, and please, keep going. |
I will. Thank you. |

| I love young people expressing themselves and how they respect life. |
Yes, if they fight to minimize unwanted pregnancies then more babies will be wanted and have a chance at a healthy life. |
