Teaching abortion is wrong in public schools

This recent school year in my Health class, my health teachers(I had two, one was a teacher in training, the other was the real teacher) taught about whether abortion was wrong or right from an "unbias" perspective. Although anyone with a brain could tell they were being bias about it(they had both announced many times thoughout the year that they were ardent christians) and they used a lot of "facts" that weren't "facts at all". The arguements that abortion was wrong were decent, the arguements that said it was wrong were stupid and made pro abortionists look retarded.

I think it was bullshit that they did that and got pissed(but kept my calm and didn't freak out on them). I mean what does abortion being morally wrong even have to do with health? What are your takes on this?

 

my take is abortion isn't wrong at all. It should be brought up in schools despite the bias of whoevers teaching it. Hopefully kids will be smart enough to make up their on minds on the issue. I shouldn't even call it an issue, cause it's not one, abortion is not wrong.

 

I just wish they would of taught from a more unbias perspective. Or at least have kids state their opinions on the matter.

 

I don't think it's "technically" wrong. But I can see why some people could have a problem with it.

 

Do you go to public school? If so, I'm not sure it was even legal for them to offer their personal morals as scientific facts, especially since they likely arose from religious beliefs. Private school, they can tell you any crazy shit they feel like.

 

Yep. Well they said quote unquote "Even though were christians were not gonna take out our bibles and tell you abortion is wrong because of this and this"
And i thought "Yeah, cause you would look like a bunch of fuckin retards."
Im pretty sure they werent suppose to teach it. Those the main teacher has Tenure so its not like he could get fired over it anyway.

 

I agree. Give all the information available and let the students decide. Give detailed pictures of the fetus and let them know that all the genetic information is there for a human person. Then let them make up their own minds at what point it becomes human.

 

would you be talking about it if they did meet your standards of it being unbaised?
