KEEP THE COMMENT SECTION CIVIL. NO PERSONAL INSULTS ALLOWED. I WILL BAN MEAN PEOPLE FROM THE COMMENT SECTION.
We are all mature enough to talk about this subject without resorting to name calling. I understand that this topic brings up quite a lot of emotions in people. But that's no reason to personally insult people. You can say someone's argument is stupid, but not that the person themselves is.
I think you did a very good video even though, if I was to nitpick, I think you went into prescription a bit too much rather than stay at descriptive analysis. Anyway still very good video!👍
I disagree with abortions but ok!
I completely disagree with your opinion on this but thanks for telling people to remain civil
@@Theguineachannel Yes see finally someone who is civil about this issue but disagrees with me.
@@andrewpritt8739 to be clear i dont disagree with you i also think abortion is wrong
There is a bit of information that is wrong in this video. First, Ireland banned abortion not because "their former colonizers forced it upon them" but because they are a deeply Catholic country who sees abortion as murder. I don't think you emphasized how big of a role the Catholic Church played in keeping abortion illegal. This goes for pretty much any former colony that is majority Catholic. It is easy to blame their former colonizers for their old laws restricting abortion, but you forget that the reason these laws remained is because they were popular. Restricting reproductive rights is extremely popular in societies that do not have equal rights for women. Second, minorities in China were always exempted from the one-child policy, even when it was first implemented, rather than being constrained by it. Lastly, I felt that the information about the US was a bit too brief, because it's definitely an outlier. However, I assume that you will probably go over it more when you talk about why the US is so religious. Looking forward to that video!
Not to mention ireland was never even colonized by britan, it was conquerored the old fashioned way
@@Theguineachannel over in Ireland we set up commercial plantations, extraction export policies, resettlement of land by incoming British settlers, seizure of land, censorship of native language and culture, exportation of people to use as cheap forced workers in unsafe conditions......im saying this as a Brit with at least 1 Irish railway and farm worker in the family history. Our government definitely pulled a colonialism that was different from other parts of the Isles
how do you think they got so Catholic
@@nathanlevesque7812 England is protestant pal
@@nathanlevesque7812 I get what youre saying, but Ireland converted to Christianity before England did, and Irish monks were a huge cultural and political influence in England up to the Norman Conquest and closer ties to Roman Catholicism rather than the local Celtic Christian kind of Catholicism.
Later on the British empire would try to enforce the Anglican form of Protestantism
American here: while I was already familiar with all the US history presented here, absolutely none of it was taught in schools. I took the most advanced and detailed history class offered, and yet it completely skipped over the eugenics movement and abortion in general. Teddy Roosevelt is displayed as a near flawless character, when this quote shows him in a completely different light. Thanks Avery for the European view into the subject!
I appreciate the honesty of this video too.
Eugenics in the Early 20th century was quite popular. Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and pioneer of birth control in the US, was well known for supporting eugenics
Wait 'till you find out about the "negro rebellion" during the second american occupation of Cuba
Romanian here: Abortion was once again banned in Romania under the Ceaușescu regime from 1967 until after the Romanian revolution in 1989 under Decree 770.
The little “it’s here, Avery” on the map took my by surprise since I’m an Avery 😂
Another interesting example is Romania. The government (or Nicolae Ceaușescu) wanted to grow the population in 1967, so an anti-abortion law called Decree 770 was passed. The initial population growth consisted of a high number of unwanted children. When he was overthrown in 1989, most of the people involved were born during the time period immediately following the decree, they executed Nicolae Ceaușescu. In Systems Thinking they call this a delay in systems response.
So banning abortion ended communist dictatorship, double based.

Shocker
A worldwide and historical view of the subject always helps far more than one focused on a single nation. Very good work. This sort of stuff is incredibly important for civil rights in general.
I just started watching your videos, and they're all so cool and very informative! Could you make a video of the history and correlations of Halloween/Dia de Los Muertos traditions from around the world? Thank you🎉❤
Great video and great topic. I always like how diverse the topics are and how often they address social political issues that we take for granted. I think in the animation Congo is shown wrongly.
Glad that you post more videos now keep it up man 👍
I've been watching you for the past few years, and I can see you've really improved! I also really enjoyed the video. Greetings from the Netherlands
I learned so much from this video; I was especially surprised by the info near the end about the French pill and its prevalence. I knew there was a pill for the procedure, but I hadn't known it had become the most common thing.
Personally, if I was responsible for the start of a pregnancy, I reckon I'd feel obligated to see it all the way through, but I'd still defer to my partner if she felt otherwise, and I'd accompany her to any appointments and cover the bill (if it's my fault anyway for skipping precautions), or at least my half of it.
In general, my perspective is like this: I'm an omnivore, I love meat and I reckon there's few things that taste better than a juicy medium-rare ribeye. So if a lady invited me over for dinner, I'd prefer a steak, but if she's vegetarian and she says we're having salad, then I'm not going to force her to cook steak (and at the end of the day it is her kitchen; I just contributed some ingredients) , and I certainly don't think vegetarianism should be made illegal.
Why do you have to deny yourself the food you like? Shouldn't it be a compromise?
Well said.
@@MERK_JEYshe's having him over as a guest in her house, providing her food and using her labor. Forcing them to cook a steak in this instance just makes you a dick.
Such a strange analogy, steaks get eaten and digested and don't need 18+yrs of follow up.
Children are somewhat a lifelong commitment. A steak can be out of your system in 8hrs. Still, as a woman I appreciate that you respect the ladies choice on what goes in her oven.
One little addition: while we often believe that we need to control the woman to have higher births, the male role should not be ignored, as these ones are in pretty much all cases responsible for forceful carriage
In the China case, at least in my impression, the minority people are just unaffected by the one-child policy, and only Han people are affected. Also, people living on China's border are not affected by one-child policy as well.
Really been looking forwards to this one Scope, such an important topic to understand how far we’ve come!

Great historical reporting.
I'd like to add that the polish reform in 2020 wasn't popular at all, as it sparked a wave of huge protests which arguably led to change in govt.
The China part is not entirely accurate. The CCP took over China in 1949, and the policy prior to the 1970s encouraged having as many children as possible.
Well done! Thank you.

Thank you for this video! I’m a medical student, so learning the history of abortions and birth control is a useful tool for explaining to patients.
Also, you nailed the explanation of why pregnancies are dangerous. But keep in mind, the internal organs being squished is what happens in a HEALTHY pregnancy. There are SO many things that could go wrong and make it more dangerous; the egg could implant somewhere other than the uterus and essentially become a tumor, the mothers immune system could overreact to fetal cells which could be fatal, the placenta could detach from the uterus prematurely and cause severe bleeding… the list goes on.
Also just a side point, avoiding pregnancy is not the main reason most women take birth control. When a woman gets her period, the wall of the ovary literally bursts to let the egg out, causing huge scars that are visible with the naked eye. Then the bleeding phase is an entire layer uterus cutting off its own circulation until the tissue dies and detaches from the rest of the uterus. This process can be incredibly painful, so it makes sense that women would want to minimize that by stabilizing hormone levels.
Abortion is murder, though, so it is permissible that a woman's body goes through the natural process of pregnancy. Rather than the brutal, unnatural savagery of abortion.
@@Very_Silly_IndividualUnnatural? Primitive humans before civilization literally committed infanticide as a regular and accepted practice. If anything it is unnatural from a biological perspective to highly value the lives of children, as we do today.
Not to say that we haven’t improved from our prehistoric selves.
@@Adsper2000 it is unnatural for a mother to kill her child. I don't really care that it happened before. Tons of other things also have happened before. That doesn't make them natural, and certainly doesn't make them morally correct.
@@Very_Silly_Individual So then argue that it’s immoral. Don’t argue that it’s unnatural, because it’s not.
@@Adsper2000 it is though. Killing your children is unnatural. I just said that, but you ignored it.
Respectfully, it's clear that Christians historically condemned abortion as murder. You can see this in the Didache ch. 2, Tertullian's Apology ch. 9, Jerome's Letter 22:13, Chrysostom's Homily 24 on Romans, among others. There was a disagreement about when "ensoulment" occured, but it was taught that after ensoulment, abortion is murder, and the Church later defined that ensoulment occurs at conception (=fertilization).
It doesn't make sense to say that political opposition to abortion (pro-life movement) began with men who didn't want to give up sex (Re: 9:57). The whole point of contraception and abortion are so that people can keep having sex without consequences. And the pro-life movement is associated with people who believe in abstinence and waiting till marriage. It's the other side that wants everyone to be able to perform the act whenever they want as long as it's consensual. I would really like a source on why you say the pro-life movement began with a bunch of men who wanted to keep having sex.
On another note, did you mess up your own country's flag at 36:00? Or is my ever-present suspicion confirmed that you're a secret Yugoslav spy? Haha, I'm sure it's so easy for little things to creep in when you're working with such a long video. Your channel is great and the videos are such high quality. And I appreciate an account like this that tries to just give the facts without politics, but at the same time it's seems pretty biased to dismiss the deeply held beliefs of billions of people and just attribute their actions to misogyny and selfish pursuits.

Hi history scope
You could argue the same for slavery though, it ws normal until it was criminalized due to change in moral values.
Holy shit mate lol 😆
Wow. We have not been nice to women throughout history. But then again, we all knew that much.
Half of those babies are girls.
Yeah, this is why history is sometimes a very important topic to learn about.
Doomed to repeat it and all that
@@TheEverFreeKing I really wish it wasn’t, but there’s actually studies that show that if women rights are taken seriously the birth rate will fall. Not as much as the average birth control called the modern house prices. But it makes sense how giving birth control and abortion rights will pull down the birth rate. For those reasons some countries aren’t considering women’s rights.
Remove women’s rights to abortion will however often lead to horrific consequences.
Like women dying trying to prevent pregnancy from men they never want to have a child with.
What does he mean by "the procedure"?
Abortion.
Killing babies they will call it aborting a fetus

26:35 no not based on skin colour, based on economic class. If we enacted the exact same law here in England, you'd see the same classes making the same decisions, and it would decimate the mostly white council estates.
That America has crafted their economic divides to line up mostly well with skin colour is a completely separate topic. It lets them apply racist targeting through economic stratification, but let's not pretend that letting poor people self-sterilise but not "proceed" is a racist policy.
It could absolutely be a racist policy lol what. He explains his logic in the proceeding minute. The US has a long history of using legal measures to discriminate against minorities while still maintaining plausible deniability. Just because the UK doesn't have the same demographics doesn't mean the American policy wasn't potentially racist. Politicians are aware of demographic divides and use it to their advantage at times.
@@curedale1438 You need to practice reading more, sir. I said "let's not pretend [it] is a racist policy", not "let's not pretend [it] could be a racist policy".
The policy itself is not racist. It mentions nothing of race. It was enacted in a racist context, whereby the racial and socioeconomic lines were congruent, (which is pretty specific to America - I wonder why that is).
Left the server, kinda toxic.
Abortion is legal in Sierra Leone
Women in Sierra Leone have more rights than in the U. S. Let that sink in.
I used to be pro-life before I became pro-choice. One of my best friends got an abortion and I realized that maybe abortion is actually necessary because it saves women’s lives. Also because it would worsen poverty (it’s ridiculous to assume they aren’t taking personal responsibility). And finally, I realized that it was more of about control over women rather than about saving “lives”.
It kills a child, there is no surcumstance stance wherw that us justified
So you’re pro child sacrifice? Killing people is not a good thing.
@@Theguineachannel it ends the possibility of a child existing, there was never a child to begin with
That’s like saying letting women have any period without pregnancy kills a child or letting millions of sperm die is murder as well
And no, the fetus is not a person yet, it’s possible for children to be born without a brain ever forming, so it means that when the egg is fertilized it’s possible there never even exists any person, it’s just a possibility, you don’t ascribe the same moral value to not breeding as many children as humanly possible to avoid denying them the possibility of being born, every second you’re not breeding children would be a second used for murder
@@Theguineachannel first off it’s not clear whether or not life begins at conception. Second even if it did, it doesn’t entitle you to use a woman’s body against their will.

What I loved about this video was that it finally showed that women are shamed into something as a way of control. If it's shameful to stay unmarried or not have a child, it's not because religion, God or whatnot said so... it's because your country has decided it needs more humans.
The fathers must be held accountable financially.
3:43 „According to Christianity…“
Actually this was according to the church. The church didn’t often follow the Bible and Christianity themself in the past. Despite they also make mistakes nowadays it’s today already way better.

When you’re talking about women in Third World nations I can almost understand the belief in the need for legal abortions, but in a country that offers education to all of its citizens, including how babies are made, and how one can prevent having a baby, it seems to me abortion is only necessary for the willfully ignorant, and the lazy. And before you say, what about rape, we’re taking that off the table, because that is a fraction of a percent of all pregnancies, this nation of soaked in the blood of the innocent. You would think that grown adults who can prevent pregnancy with me her choices would fight to protect the unborn and the innocent. It’s really disgusting.
You think “third world countries” are less educated and uncivilized when they are more civilized than your hypocritical civilized world can ever dream to be
I wish the U. S. wasn't a third world country now. Keep a tortilla n legal, until we can offer what you think is already available to women here and now.

Oh, they found your nose It t was wandering around in somebody else's business again.
I have an idea. This time around, let's control the men.
You didn’t go over how the pill for woman only came out after a male version was tested and rejected my most men due to health concerns. The pill for woman was made by a man who made it for profit.
As I sat there in the waiting room, I could hear crying and saw women come out with tears running down their faces. This scared me because I was told ‘this was just a small procedure and it wouldn’t hurt Kelly or the tissue at all.’ In my heart, I knew this was a baby, not tissue. When Kelly came out, she was groggy and looked to be in a lot of pain, which made me furious about the lies we had been told. As we drove home, neither of us said a thing. We sat in silence as I contemplated our decision. Sadly, because of my inability to be a man, I put it all aside and we went on with our relationship.
Kelly and I eventually got married, but many years after the abortions I realized I was in pain. My inability to protect those I was entrusted to care for created a domino effect of bad choices…I was a broken man with a broken wife, two children in heaven, and was trying to pick up the pieces of what my indifference had done…The healing process made me realize that I was meant to be a Daddy to those two children and that my silence never allowed me to be that for them…
Sure Meghan.

Perfect thing to watch after getting a Pap smear
"Heres why pregnancy is dangerous..", plz stop fear mongering. Its rhetoric like this that makes first time moms so scared for their safety. Pregnancy and birth are natural processes which the female body has been honing and specializing in since the beginning of reproduction. Our bodies are PREPARED to have our organs shift around. We atart to pump blood twice as fast, this is all instinct. Our bodies do miracles by creating and sustaining life, our systems are built to accommodate that in amazing ways. Pregnancy is a natural process and is dangerous in the same way you can choke during the natural process of eating. Its only dangerous whan something goes wrong. If you live if a country with up to date medical science, giving life is far more often than not a safe and beautiful event. Stop teaching women to fear what our bodues have specialized in.
Quite interesting how between the two decisions, you took the dobbs decision as the example to how the supreme court acts politically. Roe v. Wade was decided based on no constitutional basis since the right to privacy doesn't even derive from the text of our constitution. Even with that, it's a stretch to then make the claim that abortion falls under the right to privacy. For something to fall under that right, you would have to establish that the matters of individuals have nothing to do with any interested third party or the government. The primary interested third party here is the life of the unborn which without the ability to self-assert, must be protected by the government or concerned third parties (the pro-life movement). Given that the pro-life movement asserts its interest in the societal concern of the life of the unborn child, privacy can't be claimed here.
I respectfully disagree with some parts of the video, but I'm glad that I can challenge my view of the topic.
The most precious resource of the planet is the new life, and the most difficult job is to be a parent.
And there are no good fanatics.
Special mention that wasn't addressed: Now, Japan's abortion laws are considered one of the more progressive in the world. Abortion is legal for up to 22 months or 5 1/2 months (more than half the average pregnancy). Although, it isn't full-legalization because it's only available for women who would endure economic hardships, if the pregnancy causes health risks to the mother/baby, or if the pregnancy was due to rape. But, as an American living in a post-Roe society, I am jealous of Japan.
Now the major caveat here is that there is discrimination between married and unmarried women. Married women need consent from their spouse/partner. Although, adding some nuance, the courts only allow this exception if the marriage is healthy and not abusive.
FYI, 22 weeks is 5 1/2 months. (You have 22 months.) Let me know when you edit it and I’ll delete my reply.
Progressive or not, who cares? If there are not enough kids born, the society (at least the current gen.pool) will be distinct in the next decades. You cannot discuss the reality away.
Considering how Japan is having a crashing demographic rates,those abortion laws will change lol
Abortion is not about religion or morality. Abortion is about economic control of women. That's what it has always been about. In the late-stage capitalist, decaying U.S. empire, abortion is also a way to force poor women to have poor babies desperate enough to be cannon-fodder for its endless regime-change wars. In a country that only cares about children when their in utero and has absolutely no social safety net for women OR children, arguing against abortion is not only disingenuous but sociopathic.

You clearly have a strong opinion and are firmly on one side of the debate, which is fair, but when you imply that abortion ban was just basically spearheaded by boomer incels who wanted to get laid like in 9:56 it makes you look incredibly insecure on top of lowering your believability.
This video could be remade with the same exact general outline, on the topic of slavery. "Historically, slavery was widely accepted throughout the world, it was only recently that (insert some buzzword group) limited people's freedom to purchase slaves..."
If we're comparing this to slavery then forcing the woman to keep the fetus would be the closer analogy. When you force someone to do something without their consent you're not being reasonable, and the fact that you imply otherwise shows your own bias

@@Rynewulf No, they didn't make any such comparison. They are comparing an argument for slavery with the same argument for abortion. That being that humans have done it for thousands of years and have only recently thought it morally wrong.
The fact that learning or talking about this topic is basically banned since using the word Abortion or birth control gets you hidden….. is so messed up.
As an older person, I from childhood was always pro-abortion. When I grew up I joined a bad crowd who got up to all sorts of mischief. One of my so-called friends made his girlfriend pregnant and used those abortion pills. I was the one who fetched them not even knowing what is was. He inserted the pills etc and left the lady at my place who was also my friend. He then went out with some other mates. I became quite concerned of her a health as a responsible human being. She suffered for two whole days before she recovered. There were so many times I wanted to call the ambulance but I didn't. My friend came back next day like nothing happened. I was so pissed off. I was so happy she recovered and didn't have to be involved with loser like him. Therefore I warn any youngsters to act responsibly. Pregnancy is a huge deal and the greatest crime is an innocent baby is the product irresponsibility who might have to suffer the consequences of their parents indiscretions. Unsafe abortion can cause severe health issues for the mother or she might not have the ability to have children again. This world is already so messed up, be wise.
If someone doesn't accept that bodily autonomy is an essential unconditional liberty, it's a waste of time talking to that person. No other liberties survive without that one, more fundamental than property rights: if you don't own yourself absolutely, you own nothing. My body; my choice!
@@Joy-TheLazyCatLady As I said, I am pro-choice. I come from a maternal dominant culture. I am purely speaking to younger folk to think before they do something as the consequences can be serious. I saw somebody suffer and I do not wish anybody else to suffer as well. The other point I am getting at is that there is a high percentage of males who do not support their partner with the decision they have made. I am appealing to men to have more compassion over woman's health & choice if they are responsible for committing the deed. Essentially to be more responsible.
@@Joy-TheLazyCatLady if you don't have a body you can't have bodily autonomy.
Stand against baby murder.
@@TheEverFreeKing and if you believe that to be your truth than that is your choice. I feel differently and that is my choice. Today happens to be my son's 33rd birthday so obviously I chose to be a mother - the key word there is *chose*. It's pro-choice NOT pro-death. Nothing in this world is all good or all bad. Not even abortion. I believe everyone has the human right to make choices for their own bodies for their own reasons. I don't think it is my business to know what those reasons are either. I am only responsible for myself. You are entitled to the same rights whether you choose to accept them or not. ✌🏻💟🫂
