This week’s video and reading were depressing, to be honest, the reason why I say that is because of how the government is planning to overturn Roe v Wade. When I read this article there was a quote that struck me it stated, “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.” What sickens me more is the state that says the decision has had damaging consequences. In reality, banning abortion is a damaging consequence, especially for woman’s health. A woman’s health may be at risk for being pregnant, and might not even afford to have kids either. The choice isn’t for every woman, not every woman wants to keep the baby. It made me sick to hear about banning abortions considering there have been planning on doing that for decades.

When watching this week’s videos, I had no clue abortion costs a lot around $450 or more, and not many women have enough money at all. Lisa helps the woman to get an abortion. Since the medical system is so expensive in America, having an abortion is expensive along with insulin and asthma spray. It’s even upsetting that the husbands don’t want anything to deal with the wife and the children. It’s hard to get support from others and hearing a woman crying on the phone is upsetting to me knowing that this is how women have survived in America.
