Host: (6:08) Is the rate of pregnancy among college students high? Usually, how do they deal with pregnancy?
Doctor Chen :(6:32~7:01) University students are really special cases. Their ages range from 18 to 22. They have higher knowledge background. Many students would find ways to solve the pregnant problems by themselves. Accordingly, we do not have exact statistical data. However, I can share another data with you. According to the rough estimation form Taiwan Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology, every year, the average amount of abortion is twice as much as the amount of childbirth. That is to say, the fertility amount was 170 thousand last year and the amount of abortion was around 340 thousand. According to this ratio, among the 340 thousands aborted babies, I believe that there were 60 to 70 thousand babies aborted by mothers aged around 18 to 22 years old.
        The statistical data is extremely shocking. ‘‘The average amount of abortion is twice as much as the amount of childbirth. ’’Can you imagine that there are 340 thousand babies killed in a year through abortion? It is much higher than children given birth. The fertility rate in Taiwan is the lowest around the world. However, the data seems to claim that there are more people choosing to give up their babies than those who want to have kids. People with infertility problems are the lesser cases. But for people who are pregnant, they rather take abortion instead of giving birth to it. Therefore the low fertility rate in Taiwan is not mostly resulted from disability but from undesired attitude.
Besides, in my point of view, abortion is just another form of murder. If the killer should be sentenced to death, why do those who take abortion need not take the same penalty? They are all lives. The only difference is that the baby killed in abortion is an incompletely shaped life. Life is so precious and every one include government should take the abortion issue seriously. 
Moreover, ‘‘They have higher knowledge background. Many students would find ways to solve the pregnant problems by themselves.’’ It is college students that may think they have ability to deal with their pregnant problems by themselves. They think they can solve it well. They may buy miscarriage medicine from unreliable or illegal sources and may accidentally find an unreliable doctor to conduct an abortion surgery. Therefore, their health and safety is threatened and beyond guaranteed. Abortion possibly leads to infertility in their future.
        To sum up, college students should not take abortion because if they want to resolve the pregnant problems only by themselves, there are risks of harming mother’s bodies during the process of taking abortion. And the abortion rate is too high compared with the fertility rate in Taiwan and we are responsible for stopping this trend in order to protect and cherish each precious life.

  1. It is terrible number of taking abortion. Although the first and second paragraph show how important and terrible taking abortion is, there is no enough point to support giving birth. You should quote more sentence about the benefits of giving birth or ways to solve the problems while support a child. I think you can see the thoughts of the students who want to give birth.

    And I disagree with your point which indicates that taking abortion is the same as murder. I think the difference is not the baby does not have the shape life, is its thought and willing; otherwise, you said they all are lives, then how about animals? eggs?

  2. You said that "college students should not take abortion becauseif they want to resolve the pregnant problems only by themselves, there are risks of harming mother’s bodies during the process of taking abortion." However, I think the reason that students will use wrong way to take abortion is that they feel panic and don't know what they can do. We seldom be taught that how to deal with the pregnant problems in school.Therefore, we need to let students understand how harmful the illegal medicine will be and the importance of finding a reliable doctor. What's more, some of the students might think that giving birth will cause more problems than taking abortion.
    I agree that we should not encourage students to take abortion, but we need to teach them what they should do or where they can search for help if they want to do so. Because to take abortion or not is depending on their will and the situation they are in.

    1. Also, I think you can tell the readers why we sould give birth, for you mostly focus on the reason that we shold not take abortion. I would like to know the benefits of having a baby when I am sill a college student.

  3. I think it is a complex problem which can not be decided by yourself. It is connected to your family, your lover and so on. What will you do if you want to keep the baby, while others don't? Life is so precious. But if you think life is so important, you can't let the baby caught in the dilemma whether to keep or leave.
