Abortion
Storyboard Text
- Have you heard about the new abortion bill they just passed in Texas? Thank god they are finally doing something about that.
- Why is that? Surely you don't think killing babies is alright?
- Actually, I think the bill is a terrible idea.
- Well for one, abortion is not "killing babies." A pregnancy is a fetus until birth. In fact, the bill bans abortion after a heartbeat is detected, but mediaclly speaking at this point a pregnancy isn't even viable.
- Whether its killing or not, I still think abortion is wrong and there is no reason to go through with it.
- There are tons of reasons a woman might want an abortion. Perhaps she isn't financially or mentally stable to take responsibility for a child. Or perhaps the pregnancy has put her life in danger.
- But the bill leaves an exception for when pregnant women's lives are in danger.
- In fact, this actually happened in Ireland in 2012. A pregnant woman was having complications, but because medial staff failed to step in and terminate the pregnancy, she died. This case actually caused the country to rethink their abortion laws.
- This is true, but it also causes hesitancy among medical professional when a situation does arise. Health care providers may fail to act if a pregnant woman's life is at risk because they fear breaking the law.
- Wow, this is a much more complex issue than I realized.
- Absolutely, and that's just scratching the surface.
