   Would you take your children to a movie where a Disney Princess had an abortion?  Please give your rationale on either answer

      No. If I took my children to a Disney movie, they would be younger than their teens because most teenagers don't go to Disney movies with their parents.
      
      Pre-teen children don't need to learn about abortions from a Disney movie.

         It’s being debated on another social platform as we speak - some of the responses are horrible

      No, regardless what my opinion is about abortion it remains a theme topic to be discussed among  adults. That would be my attitude even if Disney chose to dabble in so controversial a topic.

      NO!
      It bothers me that so many people don't see their robbing children of their time of innocence.  Children shouldn't have to deal with serious social issues facing the country. They should have to deal with adult things.  Children need to be free to focus on growing and learning and enjoying the freedom and innocence that should be part of childhood.  To suggest such a thing is extremely disturbing.  I seriously believe their is no depths to where the left will not sink.

   Before you all start gathering at the gates to Disney World with torches and pitchforks, keep in mind that Disney isn't actually considering making any such change to their Princesses line.
   
   This current kerfuffle was started by a Twitter post from a Planned Parenthood chapter in Pennsylvania. Whether the Tweeter intended the comment as a tasteless gag, or if their account was hacked, remains to be seen.
   
   There's no way Disney would be dumb enough to risk one of their biggest merchandising cash cows by introducing an "abortion princess." That franchise will remain squeaky clean.

   I can’t imagine what storyline for a Disney princess would even be able to work that in while still being appropriate for little kids. I don’t shy away from serious or honest conversations with my six-year-old if they naturally come up, but I don’t believe it’s necessary for anyone to go out of their way to have these kinds of discussions with small children.

   Who's to say any of them didn't? These are stories looking back. I know a lot of women who tell their life history, leaving out such details.
   
   If I had to bet money, I'd put it on Moana leaving out a few details. Polynesian culture, no repressed or closeted attitudes...a big,arguably, slightly good looking demi god sailing alone through beautiful waters. Sounds like a recipe for a romance. A future queen might have ample reason to regret a brief liaison. And  maybe reason not to saddle her community with the royal offspring of such an egotistical character.

   Hell no. These are adult issues. Disney movies are G rated and shouldn't have anything to do with sex. If they're about sex, they can't fit into the Disney brand image, which is family-friendly. Kinda unusual to talk about abortion without referring to sex. I'm pro-choice but PP and the antics of certain abortion activists just leave me shaking my head. Embarrassing. Disney movies are for entertaining families, not for your wacky political opinions.
