The mainstream narrative says that college students fervently support "a woman's right to choose." But does the narrative reflect reality? Will Witt went to UCLA to find out for himself.

what's up guys this is will whit with
prageru today we're back at ucla and
we're talking to students about being
pro-choice vs pro life and when is it
too late to have an abortion tons of fun
let's do it are you guys pro-life or are
you pro-choice
pro-choice are you pro-life or
pro-choice pro-choice uh i'm pro-choice
personally
it doesn't bother me
if someone chooses to have an abortion
it doesn't affect me personally it's
really the person who's pregnant's
decision
you know their body and their choice and
it's not anybody else's do you think the
the baby or the fetus has a choice
um that's a tricky question
i think that i
so i would personally never have an
abortion because i wouldn't want to do
that to a baby because i do see a fetus
as a baby you think an abortion at nine
months is okay
um
yeah
i would
and so you think it would be okay to
abort the
fetus the day before birth
just because of it's it's in the body
versus
outside
oh
that's a that's a tough question
i can't i don't think i want to answer
that
what age of development do you think is
okay for abortion
i'd say anywhere between
two to four months i think so the
heartbeat starts at three weeks on a
child do you consider that a sign of
life in the child yeah yeah so do you
say no abortions past three weeks no i
would say like
honestly whenever what like if she can
get an abortion whenever she wants at
any stage if she feels is right do you
think like seven months is okay for
someone to do that
if they could come out of the womb and
survive on their own at seven months
but i don't know
yeah
we both agree it's a life after the
heartbeat yeah
so you're okay with someone
aborting a life
yeah because there's uh circumstances
where
i totally understand why they would do
it if a child you find out that they
have down syndrome you think it's okay
to abort that child
well down syndrome isn't
horrible
so i would say no
someone like helen keller who was blind
deaf
you know that probably would have been
considered traumatic and wouldn't be
able to live
that way but you know she was born and
did wonderful things in her life as you
know she had the opportunity despite the
hindrances that nowadays with science
could have been detected
that's true
let me ask if a woman is pregnant and
gets murdered is that double double
homicide
do you consider that murder
no
even though it's a life because they're
unborn
so i they're not
already in the world does that make
sense it's worse than
one person i guess but it's not like i
said it's not like two lives or anything
but two independent lives yeah but yeah
it's it is worse than single homicides
if you will yeah okay yeah double
homicide sure are you pro-life or
pro-choice i'm pro-life pro-life why are
you pro-life well i believe that
everyone is entitled to life liberty and
the pursuit of happiness like based on
our constitution and i just
i don't think any human should say no
you don't have the right to live or die
you believe life begins a conception
yeah yeah
so what do you think about the argument
her body her choice
it's not really her body i mean it is
her body but the life inside
you don't have the right to make a
choice on that because they don't have a
say in it right because i was pro-choice
before and then i've now become pro-life
actually so let me change your mind uh
once i found that the majority of people
scientists textbooks all agree that
life begins a conception sperm meets egg
that's a life
and so
in a sense of taking that life away not
giving it the opportunity even if the
circumstances for when it's born might
not be ideal it's still a life and has
the same humanity as
you me everyone else you know what i
mean so seeing it like that makes me
think that abortion must be wrong you're
right yeah admit that sound logic makes
sense when you say it like that yeah
you
