Reading this article really made me angry because I never knew that these events at The University of Michigan took place. Being pro-life myself, hearing these people talk about how women came and talked about their experience when they aborted their baby made me sick. I was especially mad when one person said that if the women came and told their story, they would feel less guilty and have less shame. This made me angry because regardless if one talk about and tell their story to everyone, they still aborted a baby and they should have to live with that for their entire life. On on side I do see a positive from these events because people that are hearing these stories about women who have had abortions, will be more careful and make sure that they are never put in that situation.
This article is despicable because it is trying to turn something very personal and shameful into something to be celebrated. No matter what choice a woman makes while pregnant it should not be considered a good thing or accomplishment to have an abortion. If the people holding this even really wants to shed light on abortion they should stay unbiased and allow both women who regret their decisions as well as those who are okay with it speak. Although abortion is a free choice woman can make it should never be considered as “normal” or “positive”. I think the goal of this event was wrong and promoting abortion should never be allowed.
This article was very upsetting because I did not realize that events like this happen at the University of Michigan. They say that these events helps those who had an abortion, and “they hoped sharing their stories would help them feel more at peace”. The problem is that the effects of an abortion follow a person for a lifetime. I am appalled that people are still supporting abortion even after they heard about Planned Parenthood selling baby parts. It is disturbing that this practice does not shake and enrage more people. Abortion hurts the mother, child, and other parties involved. As one of the women who had an abortion said, “the abortion clinic tells you how quick and safe the procedure is but never mentions that the effects are destructive and will last a lifetime”. The first right that should be guaranteed to all people is life. Without this right to life, all other rights are useless. There are other options for those who are pregnant but do not want to raise a child. This country needs to acknowledge that life begins at conception, and at that very moment, the rights that are guaranteed to a middle-aged working male, to a six-month-old baby girl, to an elderly veteran, and to a young mother, are also guaranteed to all unborn children.
This is appalling. Abortion is not something that a women will forget. The thought that they killed their own child will stick with them forever. This act should not ever be considered okay. Murder is not okay. This article makes it seem like even though abortion is a choice that a pregnant women has it is never the right choice, in my opinion. The fact that mothers know that their dead childs body parts are being sold and are okay with that is a disturbing fact. Nothing good comes from abortion. It is the act based off of selfish wants from a women who doesn't want to own up to her impulsive actions. Abortion is not something to be taken lightly. Life begins at conception, and those babies have the same amount of right to life as each and everyone of us.
Abortion has been a very controversial topic across the country for many years. Many people argue that it should be a woman's right to get an abortion if she wants one, but many Catholics counter because "life beings at conception." I believe that abortion is a cruel act that destroys life. The University of Michigan should not take advantage of these women who have had an abortion. Having an abortion is not an easy decision to make, and many women end up regretting it. Though it can be powerful to hear these stories, it is hard for the women to relive such a sad time in their life.
This article is very upsetting considering the fact that this is so close to home. Abortion has always been a very controversial topic ever since the law was passed in the 1970s making it legal. The thing with abortion is yes you solve a short term problem of not having a children when your aren't ready, but the thing they don't tell you is the physiological effects after. When i went on the March for Life in D.C. I listened to a woman talk about the regret she feels everyday about having an abortion and she said "who knows my child could of created the cure for cancer but i will never know will I." It was heart breaking to hear and abortion is not something to brag about. It's a horrible thing thing that you will have to live with forever whether or not you want to admit it.
This article is very upsetting. I never realized that the University of Michigan held events like these. I am Pro-life. I do not think these woman should be depressed, sad, or ashamed for the rest of their lives but I don't think being proud and happy about killing a baby either. They ended a life, and they have to live with that for the rest of their life, and I don't think anyone should be trying to convince that what they did was good. I respect them and their bravery for being able to tell their stories, but I think everybody should be allowed to share, not only if they still support abortion. If woman who have had an abortion and regret it and are ashamed tell their stories, it may help other woman debating abortion chose life.
Abortion is a very controversial topic in today’s society. If I was a prolife advocate on campus I would be appalled to hear about this news that the campus supports women who have had abortions and have killed their unborn babies. This may also be a very touchy subject for prospect students who are looking to go to the university but may change their minds because the university supports abortions. I personally don’t think that this convention should be held at a specific university, but rather somewhere off campus so that Michigan University doesn’t get the reputation that it supports abortions and the killing of unborn babies.
Reading this article made me very upset. I did not realize that these types of events happened at the University of Michigan. Right now, abortion is a very controversial topic ever since it became legal. I am Pro-life. I think that it is horrible that the campus supports something like this. When people have abortions they do not realize the long term effects of it, they only think of how abortion is making their life better right now. Abortion is something the woman will have to live with forever and could end up regretting it. It could be good to hear what other people have to say about their abortions but I think that it should be held somewhere else, not at the University of Michigan.
If you did not know already, I am strongly pro life. As such, this article upsets me to the core. Asking women to glorify their abortion is already a horrible event, they say they are trying to get women to be comfortable with sharing, but my question is if aborigines are to glorified, why do people who have had abortions need encouragement to share their stories. It is a scientific fact that after an abortion, a women faces many psychological as well as many health issues. The guilt that encaptures a women after an abortion leads to depression and despair. Glorifying this process is just another way that the liberal world is attempting to ignore the many issues that afflict a women after abortion. It is another way to attempt to dissuade people from researching what pro life truly means and why we believe it. It is a way to distract, and by doing this they are disrespecting and taking any effect away from people who contribute to silent no more. Only allowing supporters of abortion to speak out proves that this true. They are trying to hide the fact that many women regret their abortions. It is sad to see how the world today and the media included push as hard as they can from the truth.
I agree with everyone else that this is an unjustifiable event. In the article it is mentioned that abortion is a taboo topic, saying that they are trying to make it less so of a topic by starting an event where people talk freely about their abortions. However, abortion is a “taboo topic” for a reason. It is a serious event that causes trauma for many who choose to have it. A university should not glorify such an event. While it may help some who have had abortions to talk to others about their experiences, this should not be done so in such an environment. It surprises me that the University of Michigan has this when the topic of abortion is so controversial. Even being pro choice, I don’t think that this event is beneficial to anyone.
I am appalled that the University of Michigan would host such a hostil event. Abortion is terrible, but I do believe that everyone should have a choice. With that being said, it doesn't mean I support these women speaking out about their abortions and bragging about them at all. I think its terrible that someone would talk gladly about their abortion. In the article, it stated that they were trying to make the topic of abortion "less taboo". I believe that the topic of abortion should not be swept under the rug and should be taken seriously. Many women really do not understand the long term effects of having abortion, instead of having an event where women talk about their abortions, the University of Michigan should host an event where young women are educated on all the effects of having an abortion. It is ultimately their choice, but at least they would be educated on all the things that could go wrong and if its really what they want.
