In the abortion divide documentary, it talks about how Pennsylvania was divided because of a law about abortion. We hear from four women, two who have their babies and the other two who do not. we can hear from both sides and listen to their story and why they made the decision. The first woman that spoke tells us that her other choices would be to keep the child or give up for adoption. She said that the child won’t have a good life because she knows she won’t be able to support them well. She already knows and is trying to prevent more from happening. People would still think that’s not a good reason and expect her to have the child. Every type of women gets abortions, young old different races, those who don’t expect to be there are there. It’s a hard choice buts it’s their decision and it’s their body and no one should try to make the decision for them. Most women are avoiding being single parents because they do not want to struggle, it’s a lot to process and think of. The women doing it are very strong, not just for going through it but because of what other people will do, they will judge them, they might feel guilty for a long time. There is so many reactions and feelings a person can go through, a lady who was going through it found out that she was having twins and stared to think differently. She thought of her son who has autism, and the condition is slowly leading to Asperger’s, the child does not like human interaction. During the procedure now, they get sedated and feel less comfortable but back then at the old hospital it was painful because they were not sedated.  The process is when they are injected, and they slow fall asleep and are numb to the pain during the surgery. There are women who change their minds and decide to keep the baby, this decision does not mean they are better than those who didn’t. They might have gotten a reason to keep, and they knew they would do the job. Women who go through with the abortion are very strong because they have to carry the feelings and guilt with them. Making decisions were never easy.  Other times women who find out they are pregnant unexpectedly can be happy, they also go through emotions from being shocked to being happy. Whatsoever women decide to do with their body is their choice no one should try to judge. 

            Hobby Lobby could also be America’s leading source of landmark, they say it conflicts with their Christian fate. Now people wonder if for-profit corporations can be religious too and if they do, they might choose to be Jewish. The founders of hobby lobby are Christians and they have been driven to pay full time employees 90% minimum wage. Their customers are said to be from Etsy and also students. 

UTERUS CLOSED!

I wish the government and business would stay out of my uterus and take care of their own affairs. I give men a tiny pass because I need their sperm to become pregnant, be it through sexual intercourse or artificial insemination. However, I still expect them to stay in their lane when it comes to making decisions about my body. I can’t stress enough MY BODY MY CHOICE!  What I have been trying to understand for many years is, who appointed them meaning the government, businesses, and men as overseers of a woman’s body. In the video clip with John Oliver, he stressed about Hobby Lobby selling materials that can make cock and balls. Luckily, those cock and balls are fake, but if they were real, I can bet that some of them could turn to be delinquent fathers.  As for the glue that they stock on the shelves of Hobby Lobby, children walk in the stores daily and purchase them. I can bet that cooperate is quite aware that they are not using it to glue paper together or a broken toy, many times they are purchased to be used as illicit drugs. Tell the truth Hobby Lobby! You are quite aware that they are using it to get high which is far more dangerous than an abortion. Children are often irrational not by choice but because their frontal cortex isn’t fully developed therefore limiting their ability to make rational decisions. I made this point to say that women at childbearing age can make decisions on their own. I am a mother and I love children; I am also a single parent. Raising a child on your own posses some serious challenges and can render a women’s life stagnant. Especially if you do not have the support of family and friends. In the state of Texas, the people who enacted the new abortion laws most of them men, are the same ones that cry when ordered to pay child support and give up their so-called freedom to spend quality time with their children.

According to Guttmacher institute, “Twelve other states have enacted bans on abortion early in pregnancy, but all have been blocked from going into effect as they are blatantly unconstitutional. While any six-week abortion ban is a radical and immensely harmful measure in its own right, Texas went much further. Abortion restrictions typically rely on the state for enforcement. S.B. 8 is designed to be insulated from federal court intervention by leaving enforcement up to individuals, and even gives people financial incentive to do so.

            The legislation allows anyone, anywhere to sue people involved in providing abortion care or practical support to patients in Texas and win judgments of $10,000 or more. This would open the floodgates for lawsuits, bury clinics under frivolous court cases and legal fees, and likely make it impossible for many providers to remain open and for most patients to get care before the six-week cutoff. This has been aptly dubbed the “sue thy neighbor” law by abortion rights supporters.”

            In my opinion, this whole Texas abortion law, is nothing but a get rich quick scheme cooked up by the government of Texas to limit rendering financial help to the people in need in their state. If anyone can sue some innocent person for helping a woman who decided to exercise her right to choose, once they are granted money, then the government does not have to provide for them. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
