'A' Word On The Street - N.Van. Part 2 (Abortion)

[pathologistudent]

Abortion, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with abortions. Some people do not believe it is right, but when it is not their body, I do not believe it is their choice. It's a subject you can't really say it's right, but you can't say it's wrong. However, I do believe it is completely up to the woman on getting the abortion, everyone has an opinion, but the woman's opinion is the only one that matters.

[pathologistudent]

I believe abortions are a woman's right. No one should have the right to force a woman what to choose, it is her choice and her choice alone. Very few man stay around to help pay for the child let alone raise it, the woman is the one to carry the child for nine months, give birth to him/her, and make the hard decision to raise him/her or give the child up for adoption. At the beginning, there is the choice of abortion and no woman should ever be told one way is right and one way is wrong.

[MyInlineAddiction]

@pathologistudent But is it right?

[yammerz]

I'm surprised to see so many uncertain and/or against people here.  Although many of them were rather young. Still, interesting.

abortion is murder.all abortion doctors should be arrested.they should be tried in a court and found guilty.and some should be given a public execution for the sake of a nation to heal from this horrible evil this must happen.

hey hessam boobsi is in this video, and he died last year..he was a nice guy...

[AbortedArtist]

Which one is Hessam? What does he say in the video? Sorry to hear that he died. How did he go?

[patm1985]

its a choice... there is a service... people boycot macdonalds.. people boycot canadian tire... abortion is a safe, surgical solution offered to people who take precautions to not conceive and the combination of contraceptives fail. thats how i view it... unfortunately, some pople use it more than others... but if someone has the guts to abort a pregnancy, would you want someone who is scared, unsure, and not ready bringing a kid into this world?

[hypercarbon]

i am pro-choice, live in North Van.

[Filmmaker777]

The young kids on the bikes and the French guy at the end stand out for me.

[kimmer9]

this documentary is horrible!!! first of all asking 12 year olds their views on abortion in wrong in itself - they do not know enough about it to make an educated comment - half of them didnt even know what it was!!! my biggest issue with the flim is that he is going around asking if people are for or against abortion. pro-choicers are not for or against it - they are for the ability of women to make that decision on their own!!!

[AbortedArtist]

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Before you pass judgment take the series as a whole which lead to ABORTED ARTIST the documentary.

The question was "What's your view on abortion?" The varied responses needed to be placed in categories, the odd person was then prompted to give their view with

"For Or Against?

[AbortedArtist]

Only a handful of "12 year olds" were asked. I wanted to know their views. 12 and 13 year olds can get pregnant and get girls pregnant and need to become aware.

I met older teens that didn't know what abortion was.

[riserunrest]

No need to explain why you did what you did. It was courageous to do this and it is well done. If people don't get offended in making a documentary it wasn't done right. Kimmel would of preferred watching a doc about ppl's views on their favorite flavor of ice cream while living in his bubble that protects him from reality. The bubble was formed throughout adolescence with weekly trips to church.

[kruszer]

A pickle of a conundrum! :D

[BigBlueWave]

JC: Canada has has no abortion laws.

[RogerOnTheRight]

Amazing views...

(on not being aborted) "It'd ruin the baby's life..."

"It's just like killing a person, right?"

[jcr4runner]

I am 100 percent pro-life -- without the "exceptions" -- without apology. Once we accept the "exceptions" there is the slippery slope to abortion on demand for "mental health" reasons (i.e., convenience). I don't put out much hope for Canada. The United States is pro-life by conviction, "pro-choice" by default. Yet we have the most liberal aborton laws in the world. Canadians are ambivalent by conviction and therefore pro-abortion.

[saxemephone]

So you believe that if a 13 year old girl from a fairly poor family is raped and gets pregnant, and would be risking her own life by giving birth, she should have to do so and raise the child?

[jcr4runner]

I believe that she should do so and give the baby for adoption.

Rather than murder the baby, I believe in the death penalty for rapists and child molesters.

Why do you want to punish the innocent and protect the guilty?

[kimmer9]

so you think its wrong to 'kill' a fetus, but its ok to kill someone via the dealth penalty???

i am so glad i live in canada!!

[jcr4runner]

Yes, it's always wrong to kill an innocent life.

You are the one who stands justice on its head. You think that it is right to spare a rapist and kill an innocent baby?

[kimmer9]

no i dont think its right to kill babies, thats why i am against infanticide!!!! abortion is not infanticide, so it is not the killing of innocent babies...

i dont think it is right to kill any person, criminal or not.

but i believe that a woman has the right to choose what she does with her body!!

[Renton405]

A baby in the womb is innocent. A person getting the death penalty is guilty of something horrible. Big difference. Abortion is killing someone who hasn't done anything to anybody..thats why its so morally horrible

[MARLONBART]

Have to feel sorry for all those who so ignorantly take the side of "choice." Imagine being on video record supporting slavery? Same thing.

[BigBlueWave]

I'd say over 90% of the people interviewed were uneasy about talking about their opinions on abortion, regardless of their opinion. It seemed that most of the people in the video didn't like abortion, even if they favoured it being legal. Thanks for producing this documentary, it's really good. I'm so glad you did.
