I never heard about TED.com speeches and I cant believe it.
The stories are very inspiring and motivating that I couldn’t just watch one. I
watched at least ten for the past two hours. You learned so much and have a
different aspect on things. I have chose to talk about abortion. I have always
supported aborting because I believe people do make mistake and not everybody
is very to take such a big responsibility. Aspen Baker from Ted.com is a great
speaker. She opened up about her life and how she wasn’t ready to have a baby
few months after she graduated college. She was worried and afraid that she
would never be able to get pregnant again. But she realized that one in three
women will have an abortion in their lifetime and she wouldn’t be the first or
last one to have one. When she decided to open up about her pregnancy to a
close friend, the friend told her that she had one before and that she would be
okay. Aspen stated that she had just started a new relationship and she just
wasn’t ready. She also talked about pro-voice, how it is good to talk to close
friends and family when you are lost and confused. You also need to be a good
listener by asking questions and also share your stories. If you had been
through an abortion, it is good to talk about it and express yourself. “Pro-voice
focuses that conversation on human experience and it makes support and respect
possible for all”.
The reason why I have always been for abortion is because
not only people do make mistake specially when you are young but also for
financial reasons. Babies are expensive and take a lot of your time. Most of
the people to have an abortion are high school or college students. Students
always enjoy the party life. Therefore, they don’t know how to take care of a
child or how to be responsible. They barely know what they want to major in. It
is hard to raise a child specially doing it on your own. That’s why aborting is
not always a bad thing for the less fortunate people.
One thing I am starting to accept that I was always against
is giving away your child for adoption. I always asked why would a mother carry
a baby for nine months to just give it away to strangers that you are not sure
will take care of that kid. I always wondered why not just abort after finding
out the first couple of weeks. As I grew up, I understood that they are couple
that can’t have kids no matter how hard they try and are fortunate to take care
of that baby or the mother might want her child to have a better life by giving
it away to other family members but I can imagine how hard it could be after
carrying your child for nine months. I have always been for abortion and it is
not always a bad thing to do.
