Shoutout to Jubilee for listening to the audience and getting a moderator. It’s essential for debates like this.

[rita]

The moderator being able to say "you were pressing him about this earlier" was so nice because that's one of the BIGGEST gripes I had without moderators. One person would give others a hard time but would avoid or become defensive when it was directed back at them.

[katies]

Personally, saying women shouldnt be shamed for having an abortion, but then calling those same women murderers doesnt make a lot of sense.

[leaqln]

Adding a moderator really changed a lot, recent debates are much more polite and respectfull and it's refeshing to see this, wether you agree with participants or not

[lightbulbasaur]

I would love to see Ex-Pro-Choicers vs Ex-Pro-Lifers in a future video

[agnossienne]

i really don't like how cat pressed ezequiel to answer her questions with straightforward answers so she could get a 'gotcha' on him and his stance would look weaker, and then when ezequiel asked _her_ a question looking for a straightforward answer she danced around her response exactly how she criticized ezequiel for doing. it pissed me off.

[lisaniiranen]

"it's not the woman's body that's being hurt in the situation" - meanwhile the woman's body LITERALLY is being hurt in the situation...

[phobeisaqt]

even though i didnt agree with every argument, everyone was surprisingly really well spoken

[Nikki-lhtu]

I'd love to see a Middle Ground episode with people who are pro-euthanasia and against euthanasia. The abortion debate has brought up topics surrounding the morality of life and death. I feel like it would be an interesting topic to watch unfold.

[imsavannahschmidt]

I’m not for abortion but I didn’t like when the woman said that the woman’s body isn’t getting hurt. There can be so much trauma and pain that comes with pregnancy. So I think we really need to have empathy for these woman. It’s a hard choice. We don’t need to tell woman that it’s no big deal to choose life. For some it’s a huge deal and it takes a lot of bravery and strength. 💕

Red jacket needed to be checked by the moderator. She kept cutting people off 🤣

[demonicchild]

It’s very refreshing to see two disagreeing sides have a respectful conversation. That’s very rare nowadays.

[ryleemathis]

I don't think, "If Adele can have a baby and still win a Grammy, why can't you?" is a very fair argument. One thing that wasn't really talked about was economic circumstances. Yes, the quality of life for the child is important but the quality of the mother's life is also important, if not MORE important bc her quality of life directly impacts her child's. Abortion won't get a woman out of a DV situation or cure her depression but having A BABY certainly will undoubtedly make those situations much worse.

[autumnleafhaiku]

If I got sexually assaulted there’s no way I would be able to carry a baby of my assaulter for 9 months then go through a painful birth costing thousands just to give away the baby cuz I wouldn’t kee it cuz I wouldn’t be able to unsee the abuser in the child.

[breezystl]

Would love to see actual medical professionals discussing both sides of the argument. They're the ones with the best and most accurate information, and are the actual ones involved with patients going thru these choices.

[GEN]

Thanks for watching! I really enjoyed hosting/moderating this episode. Would love to hear all your thoughts on this topic 👇🏽

“You’re not answering the question”
And YOU’RE NOT actively listening.

[savannahcarter]

20:35 I really have an issue with pro-life people because of the woman in the blue shirt. The guy in the brown jacket said women should be allowed the OPPORTUNITY to determine if they wanna bring a child into the world and decide to terminate if the environment is not optimal for the child. Just because your babies had medical issues but came out fine and are doing well later in life, that’s not always the case for every family. Your anecdotal experience shouldn’t eliminate the option for everyone.

[brittanylewandowski]

Ya'll agreed " women should never be shamed for having an abortion" But you shamed every woman whose had an abortion by calling them murderers.

[Ryan_t]

I think overall everyone was pretty well informed and civil. But as a woman, I do need to acknowledge the women cutting off the guys pretty frequently. Let them get their point in there and then you can counter.
