The Abortion Divide was an eye-opening documentary since it depicted the mental and physical process of having an abortion. As a guy, I was well aware of how delicate this issue would be for me, given that I know people who had to have abortions… Thankfully, it improved their lives, but it was stressful at the time…so I’m pleased I learned about it during this program. It did an excellent job of showcasing different women’s lives and what they/we had to go through in order to have control over our bodies, in my opinion. Abortion has become the standard in several areas of the world, including the United States. Some regions are STILL battling for abortion rights. People prefer to have many viewpoints, but if forced to choose, they support abortion.

It’s quite disheartening how women’s reproductive rights have been abused while yet being heavily policed to the point that many women don’t appear to have authority over their own bodies. The movies we had to view for class this week were really informative on the problem that many people with female reproductive organs endure.

I saw a video where a female questioned a boy whether he would still feel abortion is terrible under any circumstances… “he responded nothing would change his view,” but when asked if he got another woman pregnant while married, his attitude changed. It all boils down to what is best for the individual.
