Name: Tiffany Manzano

Instructions: You are to interview two people and record their responses on this form. You should state their name and their comments to your solution to the identified problem.

VI. I interviewed two individuals to see what their response would be to my (our) plan. Their responses are as follows.

Mrs.Manzano(A) and Mr.Guieb(B) were interviewed on February 21, 2011

==1. If you knew that a fetus officially became a live baby after three months [first trimester] of pregnancy, how would you feel about abortion [being legal after the first trimester] ? ==

A. I think after the first trimester it would be considered murder since a fetus has a heartbeat. I would say no more abortions after the first trimester. But if it is absolutely necessary for the individual to have an abortion they should have it before the end of the first trimester.

B. I believe that abortions should be illegal in general. Individuals should take responsibility for the new life regardless of anything.

2. Do you think the same sentence for murders should be applied to those who get abortions?

A. No way. It may technically be murder but the same sentence would be too extreme. Maybe sometime in jail or a large fine.

B. No. That is rediculous. Some of the girls getting abortions are as young as 14. Jail for life or any of the extremes would be inappropriate.

3. Do you agree that our bill at least compromises both sides [Those who are for and against abortion] and settles this highly controversial issue somewhat peacefully?

A. Yes I would vote and support your bill

B.Well since you put it that way, that is is a compromise, then yes. I agree.

VII. My (our) answer, based on our research, to their objections and concerns are

Yes abortion can be seen as murder however abortion is a different experience, scenario, and situation for all everyone. You never know the situation or the people abortion is being handled with. Their are cases of irresponsible teenagers practicing unsafe sex, cases of rape, and cases where the baby will not be able to be taken care of. No matter the situation, abortion is a fragile topic but also applies differently to people all over America. Some argue it should be forbidden because it is murder and others say it should be the decision of the individual at hand. Both sides clearly show their logic but the best way for Americans to settle this is with a compromise that satisfies both sides. Our bill does just that. It allows abortion to be attainable but only for a limited time up to where it is not technically considered murder.
