This video is so funny. The company&#8217;s hobby supply stores sued the federal government for asking them to provide coverage for contraception in their employee health insurance plans, because of their religious beliefs. I think the corporation cannot choose which laws people should obey or decide for them. Because you belong to a religion you think you can choose which laws you want to follow or which to ignore. In the video, we also see that some people say they do not want their taxes to use or pay for abortion. I can say that the best way to avoid abortion is through the use of contraceptives. It helps to space the birth and it is also helpful in case of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think many use birth control for contraceptive purposes, but it is also good because it is used to lessen flow and cramps for women with heavy periods. When women have heavy periods, they experience back and hip pain, nausea, vomiting, migraine, sometimes inability to move. It is sometimes difficult to manage. Taking birth control helps to reduce the flow of our period or standardize the length of your cycle. So, birth control is a treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the documentary \u201cVessel\u201d, we see that year ago\u00a0 \u201c In the most of the World, abortion is legally restricted\u201d \u201c But the law doesn\u2019t stop women from needing or having an abortion.\u201d It just makes them unsafe\u201d\u00a0 many women died by trying to do the abortion themselves or in some hospital without the qualification. \u00a0 Doctor Rebecca, a young woman, went to university and got her diploma. She went to several countries to help women who do not want to keep their pregnancies.\u00a0 With Doctor Rebecca, the abortion was safe by taking the pill. She went to the Netherlands the abortion is legal over there. When a woman wants to stop her pregnancy she has to go to the special licensed Clinic or hospital where the doctor can prescribe her the pill. Doctor Rebecca\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>journey was not easy because people were trying to stop her because of religion. There were many protests because of their belief.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can see that today women on waves went to 23 countries where they trained people how to use the pills and continue to train local groups around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0In \u201cThe Abortion Divide\u201d shows us two choices the pro-life and the pro-choice people. Women who choose to end their pregnancy and the pro-life women who choose to have their baby. I was impressed seeing women share their stories. They were so brave because choosing abortion is not very easy. Some of them had unprotected sex with their partner or with someone, they just see for the first time. So after a week, they found they were pregnant. They were not prepared for that so they decided to have an abortion. They didn\u2019t want their baby to suffer because they knew it would be difficult for them to take care of the baby because they were not financially stable. So having a baby was not a good idea so they chose to terminate the pregnancy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The snapshot of Patience Ocran \u201cMy Body Belongs To Me Shutterstock\u201d shows us that nobody can decide for you. You have the right to choose what you want for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The video \u201cHobby Lobby: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver(HBO) talks about Hobby Lobby and its anti-contraception case in the Supreme Court.
