Oh , I ' d never heard of Olive Kitteridge . I ' ll keep that in mind to maybe watch at some point , seems interesting . <| sep |> When you get into your 20 s , you ' ll probably start developing your third function , which for the ENFP , is Te or for an INFJ is Ti . You ' ll find the experience novel as you ' ve opened up a whole new world and manner of thinking you previously didn ' t do . I think it ' s more likely that I ' ve developed more on Te , then , as that ' s the mode of thinking that is more ' recent ' and new to me . Throughout my first year at university , everybody else thought I was some typeA control freak with superhuman selfdiscipline and organisational abilities . What ' s your opinion on abortion , why , and what information do you use to make that decision ? The simplest response is I don ' t think it ' s right , because it ' s better to err on the side of preserving life when in doubt . We can ' t really know at what point fetuses become ' alive ', so imo that means we should treat them as if they are at least with the same weight we would give to , say , a dog . At the same time , however , I recognise that I can ' t possibly know what women are going through who choose to have an abortion that ' s not an experience I ' ve had , nor one I will ever have , after all so I ' m not interested in making abortion illegal or even necessarily speaking out against it , even if I feel it ' s sometimes done too . lightly , I guess ? Speaking from observation of people I know who treated it in the same way as you would getting a tooth out . Additionally , there are obviously circumstances where the woman ' s life would be at risk from carrying the baby to term that is between the woman and her doctor , and not for me to opine on . Furthermore , there is evidence to suggest that making abortions illegal only increases the number of unsafe , backstreet abortions that happen , putting even more lives at risk and preventing women from getting medical help when things go wrong . At the end of the day , what matters is protecting life in both the quantitative and qualitative senses so it would be ridiculous to ban abortion on principle when it doesn ' t actually make things any better . Or if you don ' t feel like offering your opinion , why not ? I ' ve answered here so you can see my reasoning , but 99 . 9 % of the time I won ' t give my opinion on the matter . It ' s not for me to talk about , as it ' s not something that directly affects me nor do I have any personal experience of it I can only offer thoughts , abstract moralising , and compassion , and that ' s not necessarily what is needed . I ' d never suggest for somebody to get an abortion , but instead recommend that they take some time to truly think it over carefully to discuss it with their doctor , with close friends they trust , to do some soulsearching and then make the decision they genuinely believe to be the right one . If they decided to go ahead with it , I would be sad , yes , but I ' d respect their freedom to choose it ' s their body , their life , their health , their future , and their morals , and therefore only they can make the call .
