#Person1#: did you know that abortion is still illegal in many states in the USA?
#Person2#: why? I thought Americans were supposed to be more open than that.
#Person1#: well, for many religious people, they believe that people who abort their babies are murderers.
#Person2#: do you think most people in America believe that abortion is wrong?
#Person1#: no, I think it's mostly the older generation who are against abortions.
#Person2#: it's no wonder there are so many teenage pregnancies in America.
#Person1#: religious people blame it on pre-marital sex, not on abortion being illegal.
#Person2#: what do you think about abortion?
#Person1#: 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.
#Person2#: do you think the fathers should have some kind of say in the matter?
#Person1#: 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.
#Person2#: why not? It's their children, too.
#Person1#: 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.
#Person2#: that might be true, but I think men should have some kind of say in the matter.
#Person1# doesn't think a man should give his approval for an abortion since his life is not affected by pregnancy at all unlike the mother's, while #Person2# thinks men should have some kind of say because it's their children too.
