My reaction to the leaked document was honestly disgust and fear for the future. My mind went to the long term, and then to the present state of the world we are living in. I think about all of the homeless and mentally unstable people as well as the deranged people who already have nowhere to go, then I think about all of the children who will be birthed into the world and suffer hardships/ feeling unwanted or unloved and being thrown away in the trash etc. because they are forcing a person to have undesired children. The documentary “Abortion Helpline, This is Lisa” sheds light on how the Hyde amendment serves as a barrier for allocating government  funds to abortion services many of the women were unemployed and already struggling you can hear the distress in the callers voices. I would never call a child a mistake but mishaps happen and situations change there could be so many reasons for an abortion some are even health based.  I think many of these laws are selfish and profit based Rebecca Gomperts, says exactly what I was thinking in a sense in her interview about being an online abortion provider” she says “If you can prevent abortion you can keep people poor, if you can keep people poor you can control them”. She is absolutely right you make abortion illegal you can arrest the person who tries to get rid of the baby in whatever way they choose now its beneficial because the prison gets paid from having another inmate. On the other hand, they keep the baby and now they are struggling and needing government assistance and remain stagnant in life it is outrageous!! The most insightful thing I learned is abortion was illegal in the 1860’s  to benefit slave owners and allowing them to monopolize off of their slaves by raising their babies into slavery and I have no doubt this overturn of the law is to target minorities more than anything else and continue the cycle of inequity. Now don’t get me wrong all women will suffer but the loop holes and ways around the law are far more accessible or obtainable outside the urban community 9 times out of 10. 

  What was also interesting to me was the drug being used for the at home abortions (Mifepristone). It helps with fibroids and endometriosis among other things and yet it is banned in many countries. Probably because the profit is greater to treat it in longevity rather then immediately. It makes me feel like we are pawn pieces being monopolized off of and because not enough of us realize to make a change it will continue to be a domino effect of regression and capitalist/ the government will continue to benefit off of our suffrage!!
