ABORTION

Interviewee perspective/ insights:

 Report or Reaction paper

The interview went well, where both interviewees has the same answer where they said, in order to
avoid abortion, always use contraceptives like condoms, pill, gloves etc. in this way, abortion could not
happen. I agree that family planning is a must because it helps couples or partners avoid unintended
pregnancies before it could lead to abortion, but others set this asides because some of them does not
think at all, others are just doing it because they want to, others do it because it is accidental, and others
do it because they are not ready at some point. Abortion debate deals with the rights and wrongs of
deliberately ending a pregnancy before normal childbirth, killing the fetus in the process. Abortion is a
very painful topic for women and men who find themselves facing the moral dilemma of whether or not
to terminate a pregnancy. It's one of the most polarizing moral issues most people are on one side or
the other, very few are undecided. If we conclude that abortion is not morally wrong, that doesn't mean
that it's right to have an abortion, we need to ask whether having an abortion is the best thing (or least
bad thing) to do in each particular case. If we conclude that abortion is morally wrong, that doesn't
mean that it's always impermissible to have an abortion; we need to ask whether having an abortion is
less wrong than the alternatives. On one side are those who call themselves 'pro-life'. They say that
intentionally caused abortion is always wrong (although it may on very rare occasions be the best thing
to do). On the other side are those who call themselves 'pro-choice' or 'supporters of abortion rights',
and who regard intentional abortion as acceptable in some circumstances. Abortion is wrong unless it
serves some right of the mother that is as morally important as the fetus' right to live, the right to live
outweighs another person's right to control her own body. Therefore abortion is wrong unless it serves
some greater right of the mother than the right to control her own body. But for me, Abortion is always
wrong at any angle, even though that child is not born yet or have a life, it doesn’t deserve to die or be
executed through abortion, life is precious and we don’t have the rights to take a unwanted child or
fetus even though it is ours. Not only that you’ve executed a life of a fetal, you’ve only putted yourself at
risk since you are putting toxins and pain to your body that could lead to a death of a mother. Always
consider family planning and always be careful, life is life, unborn or born, we all have to appreciate life
in this world.

Same Sex Marriage

Interviewee perspective/ insights:

 Report or Reaction paper

Both interviewees has different aspects and support towards same sex marriage, the other is talking
about love is everything, and love matters when it comes to two person loving each other regardless of
sex/gender, while the other is about the legality of same sex marriage in the country where it depends
on the rights and benefits of each other where title matter to those heterosexual marriages. Sex is a
biological term that differentiates between two biologically different human beings- the Male and the
Female. When we talk about same sex marriage, we are intending to a sacred union of two people
belonging to the same sex. This union can be called when two females get married to each other or
when two males get married to each other. It is not the sex or gender that binds two souls together but
love and care for each other. Love has no boundaries; thus, marriages are no longer limited to
heterosexual steed in couples. Same sex marriages have been legalized in several countries that have
leads to the initiation of demanding equal rights by the people of the LGBTQ+ Community. With the
struggle of these activities, it has now become possible for same sex couples to be free and enjoy equal
rights in some countries. To understand the concept of same sex attraction and the LGBTQ+ community,
proper sex education must be introduced in school level. This education is very important so that a
person discovers the true soul and desire within oneself. It is always said to be with the person one
loves. To find the person one loves, we must educate ourselves about the different aspects of love and
desire. Educating oneself of the various aspects of sexual attraction will lead us to be a better person
and make others a better person. Same sex marriages are ridiculed at most places by society. It is wrong
to discriminate human beings for their sexual preferences. Nor it is our right to devoid them of the
fundamental rights as a human being. They are humans who deserve respect in all points of their life
irrespective of their sexual preference. But for me, love is love, no matter what race or gender, when
you love each other and it is genuine, don’t let others to be a barricade to stop you for loving each
other, just always note to self that you’re not harming other people’s feelings or even belittling other
people always follow your heart and soul for whoever you want to be.s
