Should university students take abortion?
Nowadays, with the concept of having sex getting opened in Taiwan, pregnancy becomes a serious issue among teenagers and students. Because the pregnancy of teenagers is involved in many legal problems, we focus on pregnant students in university, who are adults according to the laws. My side is against students giving birth. Below are my reasons to support my opinion. At first, most of students have no capacity for supporting themselves, not to mention to their children. Even their parents could give financial help, their quality of material life will be effected still. They probably have to reduce buying their clothes or anything expensive and to sacrifice their time with friends in order to give baby better life.
Second, though they are regarded as adults, it does not mean all of them are mature, especially in mental. Having a child needs the strong responsibility of parents, and it is not a short-time job. Furthermore, if the two students decide to make up a family, then it is not only a problem with children, but it also includes their marriage. If they get married just for their child, when they regret, it still becomes a problem. Third, the environment or the society is still not friendly to those mother-students. Before the law which forbids students studying in the university more than four years was modified, most of students have to choose suspension or abortion. Although this law had been modified, now those who have to take care of their children can apply for more time to stay in university, most of schools do not have enough measures to deal with the demand of mother-students. For example, many restrooms are not equipped with nursery rooms.
Besides these problems, mother-students may have to endure that people will treat them with unusual eyes or thoughts. People may think this girl probably has complex relationship or does not take care of her body so that she gets pregnant. Have a child and being pregnant are not bad things, but the stereotype in the society still exists. Some of students think baby has its own right to come to the world, we should not take abortion. But I think this decision is very serious and that it effects three groups- girl’s family, boy’s family and the two students with their baby. Baby is a life indeed, but we still have to consider whether it can grow up happily and parents’ mental health. Many students think they can understand the responsibility to their child and decide to make up a family by impulse, but that could lead to more problems. If students cannot shoulder the burden and conquer the stress, rather the baby goes and parents endure physical and mental pain, than no one is happy in the family or add problem in the society.

I think it's a little strange for you to mention that if students can't shoulder the burden and conquer the stress, it will "add problem in the society(last line of the article)." Because the whole paper mostly focuses on the exteral and internal factors of taking abortion, such as the financial problem and parents' mental health. You don't talk about any social problems in the previous paragraphs, so I need to think what problems will be added in the society by myself. I'm sure that it does cause problems, but it's better to point out what exactly they are.
回覆刪除thank you. I will think about this fault.
刪除In paragraph 2 last sentence, you mentioned that many restrooms are not equipped with nursery rooms. I know probably you want to say that situation in college but you did not mention the location and it confused me at first sight.
回覆刪除what do you mean the "location" ?
刪除I think the issue you have mentioned is based on two students in a relationship. What about a student girl having a baby with an elder man who is capable of supporting a family?
回覆刪除And I also think the nursery room problem doesn't only happen to pregnant college students. Many pregnant women would have this situation because in Taiwan nursery rooms are not very common in workplace. So I think this is not a good reason to support your idea.
thank you for your response,
刪除But we want to focus on "students get pregnant", because college students is a special group while facing the problem. We think that it is interesting to discuss if students get pregnant then what will they do.
Nursery room is just one of points about the unfriendly environment in schools. I know no nursery room will not be the reason for students taking abortion. I will think about it.
I'm agree with your point. Although I think it is cruel to take abortion, it is much more merciless that children can't grow up in a good environment. If the couple have baby accidentally and they get married just because the baby, it is likely to lead to a marriage breakdown.
回覆刪除thank you. And your response is what I want to emphasize, the couple does not prepare for the baby coming. I don't think it is good environment for baby growing up.
刪除I think your article is convincing because I was on the side that student should still give birth. Although I was on the other side on this issue, your article made me not quite sure if my idea doesn't complete enough. However, I thought that the ending of this article is not strong or impressed enough. In addition, your article doesn't have any example from news, magazine or other things. If you can give more examples, your article will be more complete.
回覆刪除thank you. yes, the last paragraph is a fault is this essay, because there is no enough evidence to support my point of view. I will think about it.
刪除I support your idea that college students not to give birth. Who knows what will happen in the future? There must be problems if someone really gives birth to a baby. As time flies, people must change. A marriage composed by young people is more fragile than one composed by two mature people. If this marriage fails, children will be hurt and other problems also come.
回覆刪除So my suggestion is you can find some real cases as examples that students who give birth to children have terrible futures, to strengthen your point.
thank you. You point out what I lost in the paper. I will try to find out the example.
刪除I have some suggestions about the words. In the second paragraph, make up in "make up a family"can be changed to build up because "make up" is not proper in this sentence. And in the third paragraph, take care of in" does not take care of her body " can be changed to cherish.
回覆刪除I didn't think up "build up" at that time,lol. thank you for giving good words.
