When interviewing my peers, I chose the topic of age and birth and at what age it was acceptable to have a child. The general consensus was that we have the right to have a child and people are too judgmental in our society. Also, out of curiosity I posed the pro-life, pro-choice question. And as expected, the vast majority were pro-choice. When I asked one girl about if society puts age restraints on birth she responded, "I think our society thrives on judgment and that we judge these people a certain way because others judge them that way." When I asked another person about the same topic he thought that there is a set age bracket and it should be that way, "I think babies should be had between the age of 25 and 35. Otherwise the child's upbringing will be affected." While it was an interesting point, he was about the only one who said that age restrictions were important and needed.
When I asked another girl if she was for abortion, she responded, "No, only because I'm adopted and every child deserves a chance at living.. and there's so many choices.. like adoption" Most of the people I interviewed were pro-choice, one was even "ridiculously pro-choice" and all used the argument that it is the women's choice what to do with her body. But talking to my friend who is adopted got me thinking that there are so many different options when considering your circumstances and the best decision. The majority of answers I got were liberal, as expected, but it was refreshing that not all of them were the same.
