In many discussion based classrooms, abortion is a topic that comes up often. It is very controversial because there usually is not a gray area. You are either pro-choice or pro-life. I have never met anybody who did not have an opinion about abortion.

I would start out by saying how precious babies are. They can bring the most amount of joy into anybody’s life. They are so cute, there is nothing better than having a baby fall asleep in your arms.

Then I would show a photo of Jace (below). He is one of my favorite little boys ever. I would tell them the amount of joy his existence has brought into my life. The picture makes the issue real. The audience would see how cute the baby is and how awful it would be if he did not exist.

Now that I had everyone in the audience sighing from the cuteness, I would mention how horrific the procedure of abortion was. I would mention the story of a women who her mother tried to abort, but the baby was still alive and how she still suffered from the effects of the failed abortion.

I would acknowledge why there is an opposition. A woman’s body is sacred, it should never be for sale, degraded, or forced to do something that it does not want to do. Then I would ask about the baby’s choice or lack thereof.

There are Youtube.com videos that actually show the procedure of abortion. Then I would ask where the baby’s choice was when this was happening. This would be my closing point because it would be so impactful.
