Abortion

            I think that the video was very interesting. I would have to agree with the girls on there decision, and another part of me thinks that it was a bad idea. I think that abortion is a good thing because if you do get an abortion then it will allow the mother/family to get an education if they are still in school. If she wouldn't have gotten an abortion the baby would be more likely to do drugs because of the life still the baby would probably be living in. The family wouldn't be able to support its self which would lead the child to fend for itself more often. Then I think abortion is also bad because it basically murdering a person. It goes against almost every religion, but I still think that in our society today abortion would benefit more then it would hurt.

            Helen said that if she had the baby she wouldn't be able to support the baby or had given it a good life and she thought that it wasn't fair to the child. If she were to keep the baby she thinks that she wouldn't be able to give up the child to adoption which is perfectly understandable. 

            Barbara says basically the same thing that Helen says. I think that it would have been more difficult for Barbara to support the baby because she already has a two year old son.

            From an ethical prospective they both feel that it is not fair to the baby and to there selves. I think that in the right circumstances the mother should be able to decide weather they should keep the baby or abort it. In these two situations I think that they both did the right thing by aborting the child.
