艾尔莎·张:近二十年来,支持堕胎合法化的拉丁裔选民比例显著上升,从三分之一增至62%。这一转变的原因值得探讨。 玛雅·罗德里格兹:二十年前,拉丁裔群体更虔诚,积极参与宗教活动,因此反对堕胎的比例更高。然而,她本人从支持堕胎转变为反对堕胎,这与她亲身参与堕胎手术后的经历有关。她认为,在纸面上描述堕胎和亲眼目睹堕胎的后果是完全不同的。她现在的立场与当前拉丁裔选民的普遍观点相悖。 拉奎尔·萨拉斯:人们对拉丁裔关于堕胎的看法的普遍认知是错误的,并非所有拉丁裔都因为宗教信仰而反对堕胎。她个人反对堕胎,但她认为不应该剥夺其他人获得堕胎服务的权利。她认为,不应该因为一些人会将堕胎作为避孕手段,就剥夺所有人的权利。 丽贝卡:特朗普总统任期内对权利的限制,引发了人们对自身权利受损的担忧,促使更多人支持堕胎权利。罗诉韦德案被推翻后,她和母亲的观点发生了转变,开始积极参与堕胎权利的抗议活动。 玛格丽塔·阿科斯塔:她在哥伦比亚经历的非法堕胎经历,让她深刻体会到堕胎合法化的重要性。她认为,当堕胎被禁止时,人们只能寻求地下途径,这会带来很多风险和危险。拉丁美洲国家堕胎合法化的趋势,也影响了美国拉丁裔对堕胎权利的支持。
