The only person who should be making a choice regarding having in abortion or not are women, it’s their body no one else should be making their decisions for them. Specially not men or institution such as the church.
While watching “The Abortion Divide” I couldn’t help but feel frustrated, upset and annoyed about the whole situation how the protesters stay outside the clinic shaming and trying to persuade women not to get in abortion.
It’s very upsetting that doctors, nurses and the rest of the clinic staff don’t feel safe and people outside are treating them and at times get violence. Nobody should feel unsafe while doing their job.
In one scene on the documentary theirs this lady who says “that woman simply can’t make moral decisions on their own, the state has to intervene and tell them what to do” I think she goes against everything women have fought for century’s and still are fighting now.
Women choose to get abortion for many reasons it could be their age, finical stability, health, but at the end of the day it’s their body their choice. They shouldn’t feel they need to explain to others why they are getting an abortion.
It’s funny to me how most of the protesters outside the clinic are men who have no clue or know anything about the women’s body or about giving birth. If it was the other way around and men were the one getting pregnant nobody would be against abortion clinics.
The shelter that’s provided to women who are pregnant and allows them to stay 6 months after they delivered, isn’t the solution to the problem if anything they are just prolonging it. New mother’s need more than just a shelter to live in they need support system, financial stability.
The snapshot that Keona Malcom posted reminded me of the protester on the documentary all their talk about god and how you are taking away a live. They should learn to accept and respect women’s choices.
I think the women who got the abortion done were very brave and smart they were aware they couldn’t provide everything a child needs. They should not feel ashamed for having goals and dreams they want to achieve.
