    Wish we would have included this in the video, but we wanted to say that our position on being pro-life also extends to the lives of people on death row. To immigrants lives. To the lives of women that face sexual assault and rape. We are pro-life across the board. Not just regarding the lives of babies in the womb.

    I got pregnant at 14 from r@pe. Had a miscarriage prob bc I was a child. That's why I'm pro-choice though because there are kids like me that have horrific things happen to them. The idea of birthing a baby from a traumatic event as a child was terrifying.

      @danaschreiner3334 Рік тому +42

      @mechadoggy thats why it's gets confusing, though, bc that is pro choice. It's still allowing a person to choose for themselves. If you're willing to make any type of exception, then you're allowing a person to choose for themselves and not the government. It is confusing because some people could be pro life from a personal or moral perspective but pro choice from a legal one. Allowing women to choose for themselves what is an appropriate reason to abort is paramount to their health and sense of self.

There’s a whole spectrum of political positions that are in between the extremes of “abortion should be available (and provided for) at every stage of pregnancy no matter what, no exceptions” vs. “abortion should not be allowed no matter what, no exceptions”.
      I’ve never heard though of people being considered pro-choice if they were pro-life except in the cases of rape or if the mother’s health was in danger. Usually, those people just get called women-hating misogynistic fascist Nazis on Twitter.

      No offense, but if you’re pro choice, you open abortion as an option, therefore making you pro abortion even when circumstantial. Unless your life is being legitimately threatened (such as an ectopic pregnancy), to kill an unborn child (which until the 1960s was considered a living being from the moment of fertilization) should be ostracized.
      Of course, this sentiment won’t matter if it turns out that those children born are not valued by their parents to the extent that they consider abortion as a viable option simply for convenience. I’ve seen the trauma on video by toddlers who had no stable home and were transferred to foster care too often. And there needs to be better care for the women forced into that position. No wonder this issue is so nuanced.

    Also love your guys answer about college. You’re absolutely right, it’s not a one size fits all. Especially w/so many young ppl going into lifelong debt to get a degree they’ll never use. There’s so many other more practical options. As long as you have goals, realistic expectations & are willing to do the work. Also, your passion doesn’t necessarily have to be your career.. like your job can just be the thing you get paid for & you find a way to take joy in it but your passion can be totally separate.

      Ps just to clarify, I don't think Abby and Matt are now obligated to adopt a disabled baby because it might not be their goal/dream and adopting any baby/kid it's a huge help and improvement from the society (just don't get me wrong from my previous comment). I just wanted to highlight that many babies that are not wanted are not the healthy ones but just the kids with problems/disabilities (and that for many people that's the argument for abortion because prenatal medicine improved so much during past few years/decades) people may not decide to have a kid who you have to put tons of money for therapy and milion of hours of work, for which not many people are prepared and able unfortunately 😔

    Included in many of the controversial topics you guys discussed here, I love that you mentioned setting up a fund for your future children. As you guys said, college is one avenue to success, but it’s not the only one. That’s coming from someone who has two degrees lol. I think it’s extra important to not constrict certain adulting processes for our youth, including in funding. If we can be more open-minded and allow our youth with as many resources to succeed in whatever ways they want, the sky’s the limit💪

My views belong to me, his to him, we understand our views come from vastly different world views. He opened my eyes but I opened his as well.
