The reaction I had toward the leaked Roe v. Wade documents disgust really. To me there’s no reason why they should be overturning this law. This law if it does get passed, they’re not taking into consideration no one this is affecting. I honestly feel like even if it does go into law, there’s still going to be clinics, doctors doing the procedure under the table. So many women are scared right now about the decision that’s about to take place. The government doesn’t care if they are financially stable, in a healthy relationship, mentally stable, if they were raped or not, if you have a roof over your head, if your health or the babys health is good. Abortion should be our choice. What if something is wrong with the baby, and you just found out in the ultasound appointment because that’s what happened to my sister, we found out that my baby nephew was going to need open heart surgery the same day he was going to be born. And there was a very high risk, he wasn’t going to survive that. With all the hurt in the world my sister had to make a decision to terminate the pregnancy at 6 months. She had to do a two day procedure. She was depressed for a long time. But she didn’t want to bring my nephew into this world to suffer. And its reasons like this why they should not take away OUR rights. In the short film “This Is Lisa” there was a similar story with one of the women that called the hotline. The abortion hotline, is based on donations. They help you cover the cost of the abortion but it depends on the amount of money they have that day. This is very helpful and I wasn’t aware they did this. There were woman calling because they can’t make ends meet already and bringing in a new person into this world is going to make them struggle more. How its it that our right that we had once is again in the power of them. History is literally repeating itself. They want to control us. Aside from my feelings towards everything, this weeks reading was very insightful. I learned more about the leak that I wasn’t aware of because I dont watch the news. I found out about it through Instagram. We have to fight no matter what. Its OUR BODIES! We can not feel trapped in OUR bodies.
