In this snapshot my classmate Nancy Susano uploaded, this one depicts women of all colors making a stand towards a right to take control over their bodies as a way of having reproductive justice. This snapshot captures the idea that women should have the resources they need to make decisions in order to have reproductive justice. From the first video called “The Abortion Divide” by PBS Frontline, some of these mothers in general came to abortion clinics due to them not being financially stable enough to support another child. A few women has chose the process of abortion by taking oral medicine which starts the contractions and bleeding to terminate pregnancies. Some women find this process disturbing when they are being told that after the fetus is pulled out from the mother, the baby is literally torn to pieces by doctors and therefore ending its life. Other doctors try to persuade pregnant women not to abort their babies since they are against abortion. Another scene of the film that is shown are protesters who stand outside the clinic are not only against abortion but some of them are being religious people who praised the Lord. To be honest, I feel disappointed because some women are not allowed to have abortions that was sent up by doctors and an activist named Pat Stanton made an announced his opinion on how barbaric of terminating fetuses by severing them and place the samples in biohazardous containers by doctors. In the second video “Hobby Lobby: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver”, the host John Oliver himself pokes fun at the concept of the fact of corporations with people because some of these members are religious who have the rights of freedom. One scene depicts people on television speaking out their minds about refusing to let their taxes go higher because of the debts that are caused by the government. I agree with what these workers are saying because it could lead them into bankruptcy and poverty. Another scene from this video is workers who work in the department store earn 90% more of their salary when working full time. I also agree with the fact that these workers deserve more to earn for their livelihood and make better choices for themselves. And in the third and final video “Reproductive Justice in the Age of Trump”, a Black state organizer named Eshe Shakura states the facts of abortion ban in the state of Georgia. From this video, we see a group of women of color who are protesting against banning abortion while finding the justice to make their own choices for reproduction in life. This video also respects the community aspect because people have who access to abortions clinics and what kind of contraceptives they are given in these communities. When it comes to both queer and transgendered people, these identities are left behind in the shadows because non-binary people who identify as feminine, experienced violence. I agree with what the speaker was saying because people can be  creating relationships with queer and trans people and listen to them more since the national media pays little to no attention to them unless cis White women are also affected.
