Initially when reading this week’s announcement, I knew it was going to be a hard one for me. The week that everyone found out about the draft for Roe v. Wade I was extremely upset because not only are matter becoming worse for women but the government and supreme court allowing it. It is not shocking to me that they want to change something to benefit themselves like what congressperson Henry Hyde by sponsoring a bill banning the use of federal dollars for abortions. This did not benefit the thousands of women who do not make end meets and struggle due to the lack of help from the partner. What Rebecca Gomperts said about why abortions are controversial, eye opening and a chain of power over poor people that most do not acknowledge. Gomperts reasoning being “if you can prevent abortion, you can keep people poor. And when you keep people poor, you can control them. Poor people have no voice in most places.” To me this was what stood out to me the most because after congressman Henry Hyde sponsored that bill, he made it hard for most and that was what he wanted to keep the poor, poor and have the rich become richer. Overall, this week’s readings provided information I did not know about and allowed me to understand more about what is going on around me and come up with ways to help and become part of that community.
