Kristan Hawkins vs VCU Pro-Aborts Round 2 | Q+A at Virginia Commonwealth University

[@DelizRuth]

I used to be VERY pro-choice until I became pregnant and saw my 10 week sour patch looking fetus jumping and what it looked like dancing. I cried so much. At that moment I realize that I can’t control nor I owned that tiny body. My job as a pregnant woman is to protect it at least until it arrives to this world. After that, there are plenty of choices like ADOPTION. I will never support abortion again.

[@MyriamRichardsdotter]

[@design7054]

I flipped from de facto pro-choice to vehement pro-life in the days following my child's birth. I cannot understand how anyone who has held their own baby in their arms can be for the choice to kill that same baby weeks earlier.

[@EssentialTruth_]

@@hexl702too5How are you reading any of that into her comments? All children deserve a chance to live. The circumstances of their conception are not any fault of their own. Whether or not that child is wanted by its parents, it has inherent value. Your life does not become less valuable when another person doesn’t want you. Every person in the world could reject you and it wouldn’t diminish the inherent value of your life. The same goes for all people, whether the child is a zygote or embryo or fetus or infant or toddler or teenager or the adult is young, middle aged, or elderly. Being unwanted does not make a person unimportant and lacking in value. That is the entire point of pro-life.

My dad was adopted. He had a very strong stance on Pro-Life. He said "I don't agree with it, I'm not going to fight a woman on that... but it is murder" someone said to him one time "well what if she is a 17 year old girl who had no other choices!?" My dad got quiet and changed the subject. The guy who asked got really smug and thought he "won" my dad's biological mother was a 17 year old girl with no other choices, yet she chose adoption. Yes he was born in 1958 so abortion wasn't legal or even widely avalible... but he and his twin sister were adopted, because his mother still chose them over herself.

[@roxysparks5003]

The issue with some of the pro-life stance is the lack of abortion access available to rape/ incest survivors. Hell, some states don’t even provide exceptions to people whose lives are at risk from giving birth. When someone’s choice to consent is already stolen, it shouldn’t be stolen again. “We looked at 22 states where strict new abortion laws are, or are about to be, enforced. Of those 22 states, 15 offer no exceptions for rape, incest, or both. Those states are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin.” I’ve looked up a few of those states individually. They had no exception for rape/ incest. In some cases, like TN, there wasn’t even an exception for people who were at risk of death from giving birth. “15 states with new or impending abortion limits have no exceptions for rape, incest” from the Poynter organization. This page includes a diagram of states not including exceptions for rape/ incest. “Most Abortion Bans Include Exceptions. In Practice, Few Are Granted.” By Amy Schoenfeld Walker. I agree abortion shouldn’t be used as an alternative for birth control. But it should be an option for those that never consented to sex or could die from the pregnancy.

[@fallen4life080]

Pro-life is actually losing momentum. It has victories for sure such as the overturning of Roe but since it's demise all blue AND SEVERAL RED and swing states have voted to enshrine abortion rights. Plus most people 18-32 are actually pro-choice while older generations die out. So it's going to be an uphill battle for pro-lifers in a few years.

Absolutely. My Mom lost a baby to a miscarriage, and I never had the chance to mourn my little brother. I gave him a name, Iacopo ( = James). Sibling Bereavement Syndrome is a thing. Maybe it's due to different life experiences, but these girls who say "Eh, it's not conscious, woh cares" have probably never felt the connection with a sibling in the womb, and the sudden severing of it. And if they have felt it, they are sociopaths along with their mother, sorry but I have no other word for it. Same for Yellow Tee's reasoning "I was not conscious, I would not care if I had been aborted". Yeah, and all the lives she has impacted positively? Oh wait, probably none, with that attitude. I was seven, I knew what was going on. Today, several religious groups organize funerals for aborted babies, spontaneously or otherwise. Iacopo did not have that chance, but he lives forever in my heart and beyond.

[@dragonmom8406]

​@@Taylor_mamaof2I'm guessing that most people abuse weed and just use anxiety and morning sickness as an excuse, but it really can help with some things in moderation. I avoided edibles because it's hard to find the right dose. Fortunately, I never had real morning sickness. But my grandmother died towards the end of my first trimester of my first pregnancy. I used a vaporiser and only took a small puff on the rare occasion that everything was just too much. She was the most important person in my life other than my grandfather. In the last months of each pregnancy, I'd get some weird maddening feeling in my legs when I'd go to bed at night. Often yoga would help enough that I could sleep, but sometimes the only thing that helped was cannabis. But I never used more than a small puff at a time.

The issue with some of the pro-life stance is the lack of abortion access available to rape/ incest survivors. Hell, some states don’t even provide exceptions to people whose lives are at risk from giving birth. When someone’s choice to consent is already stolen, it shouldn’t be stolen again. “We looked at 22 states where strict new abortion laws are, or are about to be, enforced. Of those 22 states, 15 offer no exceptions for rape, incest, or both. Those states are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin.” I’ve looked up a few of those states individually. They had no exception for rape/ incest. In some cases, like TN, there wasn’t even an exception for people who were at risk of death from giving birth. “15 states with new or impending abortion limits have no exceptions for rape, incest” from the Poynter organization. This page includes a diagram of states not including exceptions for rape/ incest. “Most Abortion Bans Include Exceptions. In Practice, Few Are Granted.” By Amy Schoenfeld Walker. I agree abortion shouldn’t be used as an alternative for birth control. But it should be an option for those that never consented to sex or could die from the pregnancy.

[@jenniferbaez1725]

Two things. When I was pro choice I used to think that abortion should be legal because some women, no matter what, will find a way to get one. But then I realized that this thinking is the same as, “you might as well make it legal for people to drink and drive because there will always be someone drinking and driving. I immediately debunked that statement with my own logic. The second thing is that it took me a long time to realize that I want to have children. I thought, “the world is overpopulated, there is suffering, there is so much cruelty, so why bring a child into this chaotic world?” But then I realized that in order to change the world that we live in, we ourselves and our future generations are the ones who will need to take a stand to end all injustices. Otherwise, we will complain and do absolutely nothing about it. I now also know that we don’t have an over population issue. I’m proud of people like Kristen who take a stand for what they believe in.

Yes. That was rather painful to watch. I'm glad, that she was treated well, by the host.

[@aidananstey9848]

Don't feel sorry for her, they only self deprecate to validate their arguement, they say things like "I wish I wasn't born" in an attempt to justify killing OTHER unborn people. If they really hated life so much they would have done something about it, but I guarantee if someone put a gun to their head they would be begging for their life. It's quite a deplorable tactic they use.

I used to be pro choice solely because "your actions don't affect me". then I got older and a Christian and realize, all our choices affect each other in some way. indirectly or not, also God assigned us who we are before we were born.

I'm so happy to hear you say that you changed your position on the death penalty because you decided to take the time to research what it was you were supporting. That's what happened to me with abortion and you were a part of that learning. You, Abbey Johnson and Lila Rose all helped me not only learn about those procedures that I supported that I had no understanding of what I was supporting but helped me see the issue from another percpective all leading to me having a change of heart. What you are doing matters and is important.

I was a very woke liberal and used to to think that it was my choice to abort. That is until i became pregnant in 2022. My baby is so beautiful, giggly, and most importantly his life is valuable. My baby is valuable. He deserves life. Now I’m pregnant again 19 weeks and I’ll never be pro-abortion. I’ll always be pro life! My mind has also changed and i consider myself as a Republican. I know…very big change but i decided to hear 2 sides out and this is my decision.

[@errepe3990]

I think that one thing Krystin could've said is that a person on life support is someone isn't expected to ever regain consciousness, while a child in the womb, if not aborted, is expected to develop consciousness overtime. If people on life support were expected to develop consciousness, then the plug wouldn't be pulled

[@Kiara_Wrestler]

A month ago I gave birth to my first child a baby boy 💓 & I'm beyond blessed to have him in my life. It was my pleasure to make & carry him in my womb & also to go through the pain of birthing him. I would never take it back & I'm glad it happened.

But that doesn't mean the own mother, who gives up their body and their blood, to not have a choice in their body anymore. If we can't force a person to give up their blood/organs to save another person (body autonomy), how is this any different than a mother giving their blood to the baby? Should the mother be able to choose whether or not they give these? Doesn't choice matter?

At 17 weeks pregnant I was told my daughter was going to live life as a vegetable or die very young. She was missing part of her brain and the situation was looking very bad. I was pushed at every specialist appointment I had to terminate the pregnancy to spare me the emotional damage and to spare her any suffering. I denied every single time. And now my daughter is 6 months old and is HEALTHY and perfectly fine. Glory be to God! These “doctors” that are so well educated and smart told me to kill a perfectly healthy, happy, and special little baby. Her brain is formed just fine and we have no complications. I think about every single day what my life would be like without her here. How devastated I would be and the wonder of who she would be burned into my brain. And now I get to love her every single day. Killing a child is NEVER the answer.

The woman that asked the question about the atopic pregnancy situation has been a huge question I’ve had that I find very surprising that nobody who is pro abortion argues or focuses on.

[@mariuszmaderski3843]

An important point about what Kristian said to the woman who mentioned life support: I feel as it would've been worth pointing out that there is a fundamental difference between someone on life support who cannot regenerate their brain activity, and a foetus who is developing their brain activity in the mother's womb.

[@Michael-yl2iq]

If a doctor knows there is a chance that a person on life support will regain brain activity in the future they cannot pull the plug.

[@tconyt8373]

Absolutely, apples to oranges, per the usual in these debates. The person you pull the plug on will not regenerate brain activity, a fetus will absolutely, if left alone generate brain activity.

I am pro choice, under very specific criteria. Please, don’t start hating until you read my entire comment. I used to be full pro choice. As my understanding of life has progressively evolved, I’m now starting to become more pro life. These videos always teach me something new, and I love it! And I’m thankful for it. I think the most important thing I learned that really shifted my mindset, was that abortion clinics have gained so much popularity because some women don’t want to take responsibility for their careless actions. When adults want to do a consensual adult thing together, they need to be willing to accept the adult consequences, and not get frequent flyer miles to their nearest clinic or pharmacy. I truly thank this organization’s hard work and willingness to speak, even if it is going to deaf ears. Just know, you’re helping make a difference in people like me. ❤

I am so happy i decided to not attend VCU. Bless you for your work. I am currently a mother of two, and I keep feeling a desire to join this ongoing civil battle. I am an abortion survivor, a rape survivor, and a miscarriage survivor. To feel all aspects of conception at 28 years old makes me feel obligated to share my experiences involving reproduction. I even have severe endometriosis. Its not a brag, but simply makes me feel close to these issues. I encouraged 3 women in highschool to let me help them through pregnancy so they wouldnt be pressured into abortion.

[@mynamecausesconfusion9829]

I wish I had a tip to persuade people against abortion. My method has always been opening myself and offering my story and assistance through their pregnancy. I helped women sign up for the necessary assistance and was someone they could go to at any time to talk/I would go to them. My struggle in the movement has been finding a group that doesn't have a specific religious backing. I don't follow a religion, but I value Life and believe in a Creator.
