Mayu, Eric, Mari

Who did we ask?We got responses from 36 people by July 10th. (Our friends and some people from Facebook communities)

• I pretty much agree with the Japanese law (both　Criminal Law and Maternal Health Protection Law).

• Should be referred to a phycologist before abortion• Abortion should be allowed for only those who are

not financially capable of raising the baby. • They should require those seeking abortion to be

chemically fixed and be unable to become pregnant a second time

• Illegal and unthinkable • It should be completely restricted, banned • I think it should be banned. • I don't think abortion should be allowed at all • It should be entirely banned.

• It depends on when you do the abortion. • Yes and No. It is killing lives, biologically but I

don't know if you call it a crime. • Once something has a heartbeat it is alive • It depends on what stage of the pregnancy the

woman is at. • Because some pregnant women have no

choice but to end up getting abortion because of the problems that cannot be helped in any way; financial problems, health of the mother or those.

• It only may lead to loss of fertility if done repeatedly. Every women has a right to an abortion. • I've never heard about abortions done at a proper clinic being any more dangerous than any

other invasive procedure. Also, there are risks involved in childbirth, so you're not avoiding health risks by NOT having an abortion. As for psychological pain, as long as the woman isn't being forced to have an abortion, it's fine. I think that raising a child you're not able or truly willing to take care of or even putting that child up for adoption would cause FAR worse pain, anyway.

• I agree, but actually I am not too sure. I am sure there are cases where it does happen. So, it is not 100% sure and it is possible. That is why I agree, but not strongly agree. I am not so certain.

• I think it is risky and may give bad effects to women. • I based my answers on the most recent ideals released by the medical media. • Abortion is not without risks like any procedure. • There are cons to abortion but techniques and technology is evolving in order to make safer

practices. • As I've heard about abortion in TV and it said abortion could give a great depression to the

mothers, also abortion could influence the mothers' body in many ways. • I have a friend who survived a chemical abortion. not only was she born.anyways but suffered

severe deformation because of the chemical exposure. her mother died three years later of uterine cancer .

• It is common for women to have breast & cervical/ovarian cancer at higher rates after abortion. It is also common for them to be sterile. Over 65% have psychological issues that last their lifetime.

• Ending a pregnancy means ending a life; there are many risks to women as well. • Because they are both factually true and what I believe. • Abortion always takes at least one life. Sometimes Mom dies too. • I know that abortion poses some health risks, but most importantly when a woman takes the life

of her innocent child, it does great emotional harm.

• Currently, abortion is a hot issue in my country. Many enlighted states in my country are pro-abortion. However, in states that are not so educated, they are anti-abortion. The reason for anti-abortion are because of religious, and moral reasoning.

• In Fiji, there is no abortion because its religion is against it. Fiji has 80% Christians. • My home country is Kenya. Due to the country’s restrictive laws on abortion, women in

Kenya are forced into backstreet abortion facilities. Approximately 35% of Kenya’s maternal deaths are caused by unsafe abortions. An estimated 800 abortions, induced or unprompted, occur on a daily basis in Kenya, and over 2,600 women in Kenya die due to unsafe abortion practices annually. Almost 21,000 women are hospitalised because of incomplete and unsafe abortions in Kenya

• I think it is allowed in the United States. I know it cannot be done after a certain amount of months because then it's too far into the pregnancy.

• In the USA it's legal but frowned upon by many people. • Abortion (child sacrifice) is legal. • Its legal here to murder an unborn child out if selfishness. • USA (it is completely legal here & in some states like mine (CO), it is legal until the 39th

week of gestation!) • Abortion is legal through 24 weeks. • I live in the UK, where abortion is legal and available on the National Health Service up

until 24 weeks unless you live in Northern Ireland, in which case abortion is against the law in almost all circumstances.

• In the US a woman can get an abortion thru all 9 months of pregnancy. • I live in the U.S.A. Abortion is allowed on demand in this country although with

restrictions according to gestation. • United States. Abortion is legal in the US. Different states have different laws.

• I am pro-abortion. A woman has full control of her body. Nobody has the right to control what a woman does or does not do with her body. Of course there has to be regulations: the fetus must not be past a certain trimester etc, however the decision is ultimately to woman nursing the fetus.

• It is a topic that is a waste of time. A mother should be allowed to do whatever she wants. • I don’t think it is a good thing to do. Even though it depends on the circumstances its killing a life. instead of

killing with abortion its better to put the baby up for abortion to the people who cant have babies even if they want to.

• I feel abortion is killing innocent human beings I have always believed that life begins at conception. • I feel like young people should have the right or people who have been raped. F someone is not prepared to

take care or to perform the pregnancy should have a choice. • Not responsible.• Abortion is such a difficult topic to discuss. In my opinion, abortion should be allowed only for those who are

eager to raise the baby but can't due to the domestic problems or due to the case that giving birth could harm both mother and the baby. However, once women are pregnant, they ought to be responsible for the baby even if they didn't wish for one. At the same time, people as well as I should know what abortion is for.

• I think abortion is a very good thing because if it weren’t allowed then there would be a lot more children without proper homes.

• Abortion is the legal murder of human beings that are made in God's image. Abortion should be immediately abolished with no exceptions. There is no case where it is acceptable to murder an innocent human.

• I think it is a horrible barbaric act of greed and that to say an unborn baby is not human because it relies on the mother to grow and form is like saying that people on life support are no longer human because they no longer eat or breathe or survive on their own either.

• It's murder of the tiniest image bearers of God. Just when a baby is supposed to be safe, the Mom makes the decision to take the baby's life and the baby has no say in it. The body inside her body is not her body. Has separate DNA.

• It's murder. • I think that unless I'm the one having the abortion, it's none of my business. • It needs to be abolished. • I think that abortion is the killing of innocent human beings. • It is a terrible sin against God.
