[speaker001:] did you know that abortion is still illegal in many states in the USA?
[speaker002:] why? I thought Americans were supposed to be more open than that.
[speaker001:] well, for many religious people, they believe that people who abort their babies are murderers.
[speaker002:] do you think most people in America believe that abortion is wrong?
[speaker001:] no, I think it's mostly the older generation who are against abortions.
[speaker002:] it's no wonder there are so many teenage pregnancies in America.
[speaker001:] religious people blame it on pre-marital sex, not on abortion being illegal.
[speaker002:] what do you think about abortion?
[speaker001:] I personally would never want to have one, but I think that since a pregnancy can affect a woman's entire life, she should have the right to decide for herself.
[speaker002:] do you think the fathers should have some kind of say in the matter?
[speaker001:] I know this is going to sound sexist, but I don't think that men should have to give their approval to the mothers of their children.
[speaker002:] why not? It's their children, too.
[speaker001:] that may be true, but when a woman gets pregnant, it changes her life completely. Men can still carry on with their lives after the birth exactly as they did beforehand.
[speaker002:] that might be true, but I think men should have some kind of say in the matter.
