The post that I decided to use for an online deliberation is a story from HuffPost. This story is about how the U.S is planning to impose Visa restrictions on pregnant women. This would restrict women from birth tourism which is people traveling to the U.S and having babies so that their babies have a U.S passport.
The comments to this story were very controversial as there were many different opinions. They did follow some of the deliberation criteria as well. Most comments were about what we can do to avoid or fix this problem. The people in the comments were providing many ways in which they could address this problem. There were people that agreed with this change and people that were very against it. I don’t think people with totally different opinions bashes each other necessarily, they really just talked and discussed their views which ties into respecting other participants in Gastil’s deliberation criteria. This could also tie in with ensuring mutual comprehension as the spoke specifically addressing each other’s opinion instead of just arguing past each other.
