• I loved the personal and real life stories – it really touched me
• Abortion is unacceptable in any circumstance
• It is truthful and easy to understand
• It told me how important life is and how it should always be valued. It also showed me the regrets people have for taking a life
• Abortion is wrong – it is the taking of a life which already exists. It is the responsibility of the woman as well as the man
• I now look at the cause of unplanned pregnancies and reasons for abortion differently – knowing the numbers for reasons for abortion was really good

• It gave me further understanding to my already made up mind
• Abortion is a difficult issue that should not be taken lightly
• I now have more convincing arguments
• It told me ways I can help others
• It was convincing, life changing while still having a gentle approach
• Proved to me that the killing of a child is wrong – gave me more things to pray for
• Every person’s life is valuable
• It gave me awareness on the topic of abortion and how it will effect me and others around me
• It will help me to make better choices
• The baby is its own self and separate from the mother – it was very informative
• Reconfirmed what I always believed – it taught good things without being “in your face”
• At a very early stage the foetus is a human and I learnt the excuses people give to have an abortion
• It has helped me how I would be able to help someone I knew if they were in that situation – it also showed me all the negatives of abortion
• I think it would be very helpful to both girls and boys because it educates them and so, if they fall into that situation, they are able to make an educated and clear (hopefully right) decision
• It was really fantastic!
• I learned a lot from the presentation and it would really benefit my friends to know and understand the consequences of abortion
• Abortion is wrong – it is important to be loving and compassionate in your approach to others and to make sure they have support
• It gave me more ideas and facts to work with to convince and help other people
• It presents the facts in  straightforward way that can be applied to people who believe in God and people who don’t
• It helped me understand better that there are multiple reasons and dozens of effects that come with abortion
• It gave me insight into what abortion really is
• Whilst abortion may look like the easier option, in the long run giving birth actually is
• It made the issue of abortion much clearer
• I can now give moral, logical, scientific reasons to those that ask why abortion is wrong
• It showed me the importance of life and that with abortion things could be worse and could hurt you more
• People who have not been brought up with the same morals and ideas deserve to know the truth about abortion
• I am already against abortion and so it gave me interesting information
• A baby is alive the moment it is conceived – when we abort we are killing a baby
• The presentation said why abortion is bad (gave reasons), explained risks of abortion, gave statistics – that if you have an abortion it is not the end of the road – you have other choices besides abortion
• Very informative and good arguments – easy to understand
• A lot of my friends are stubborn and would need a full-on and confronting approach to change their opinion
• I already knew most of it but it helped me to understand and not to judge other people

• Thank you for showing the truth to young people that are beginning to make these decisions. It’ so important for us understand what abortion really means with real stories and real facts. Please pray for all of us in Year 12 to do the right thing in this area and help our friends properly.
• I need to be more supportive and understanding towards people in the difficult situation of having an unexpected baby and maybe thinking about abortion but at the same time making it very clear that there is always another choice
• Clear concise arguments for why an unborn child is a human being too
• I was already against abortion but I am more prepared and firm in my values after this
• It gave me facts rather than a pressured point of view – it told me how to defend pro-life and face moral issues
• It helped me see how to discuss the issue of abortion logically, calmly and with respect
• It was very logical and went through the issues succinctly and made so much sense
• I was already firm in my beliefs but it helped me so much on how to think about it and how to lead someone through it
• Thank you! You made the issue seem much simpler
• It helped me understand that a foetus is human
• I believe in pro-life and would (through this presentation) never have an abortion

• It strengthened my views on pro-life and anti-abortion
• It showed all  the different arguments for and against abortion and answered all of them in a logical manner
• It explains a lot of unanswered questions that many people have a hard time understanding
• I wouldn’t have an abortion in the first place but if I was to, and heard this, the logical outline would influence a new choice
• I helped me to see different perspectives of abortion and how to approach people that are pro-abortion
• Presented us with facts and not a scare campaign!
• We should not ignore or misrepresent the truth – an unborn baby is a person, killing is wrong and we never have the right to do what is wrong
• It allows a person to view the world differently and to see why people choose abortion – but there are always other options
• It isn’t complicated to be pro-life and anti-abortion – it is more complicated not to be
• It gives a very unbiased, non-religious view so others will listen with an open mind
• I already agree but if I didn’t it would probably convince me
• This would open people’s eyes past what the media says
• The main argument comes down to whether the unborn is human
• We need to be clear in our views if we want to discuss abortion with people of different views
• I helped me to really think
• It all comes down to the issue of the unborn child
• I realised the fact that all issues are not relevant to the question of abortion when we realise that it is a fact that the foetus is a human being
• It helped me to know what to say in hard, pressured situations about abortion – very informative and helpful
