This week’s reading and videos has made me very angry and sad as well. It has made me very upset reading and watching these videos because MEN are making decision on what a women should do with THEIR own body. The government’s decision to ban abortion and overturning of Roe v. Wade is making us move backward instead of forward. This whole week has been really scary to think about because of the fear of having other people making decision about my body and my rights as a woman. I am very much pro-life and I believe that abortions are need. There are many reasons why women are in need of an abortions. There are women that have been raped and are pregnant with their molester’s offspring. And if they were force to keep the baby, it could cause the mother to become mentally unstable. The whole pregnancy and the birth of the baby could cause the mother to relive her traumatic past. Another reason for abortions, if woman gets pregnant and she was a informed that if she decides to continues with the pregnancy, she will not survive after the birth process. My mother had to experience this because after my birth, she got pregnant a month later. She had to unfortunately terminate the pregnancy because her body was strong enough to go through that hard labor again. And if she was going to keep the baby, she might not be here today. Some women aren’t mentally stable or financially stable enough to have a baby. I think it would be selfish to try and bring a child into this world, when you don’t have the ability to provide for that child. This week’s reading and video is a very heavy subject but it needs to be talked about that government shouldn’t have the ability to ban a woman’s right to abortion.

Thank you for sharing, I agree that the reading is heartbreaking and sad. It’s a shame that we are still in 2022 and still fighting for our rights.
Hello Jocelyn, thanks for sharing your mom’s story, that’s a clear example about why are abortions needed. I completely agree with you that MEN shouldn’t do decisions about women’s bodies! They don’t know what is like to be pregnant, the consequences it has for our bodies, or how disgusting it is to be harassed by a man and scared about your safety. Also, in my opinion, pregnancy it’s something really personal, and it feels very invasive that women have to fight for something that affects them so personally and that is very sensitive.
Hi Jocelyn, I agree with you about being able to have the chance to have an abortion when a dramatizing event has happened in one’s life. There is nothing more critical than having an offspring of your abuser. It constant reminder of what happened and it is not healthy. Prochoice should stand and funding needs to be available to all women.
Hello Jocelyn,
I definitely agree that it be men thinking that they still have the liberty to decide over women’s body. You brought good points on why abortions should not be overturned. i appreciate you sharing your mom’s experience on what it is like to be pregnant and have to terminate it.
Hey Jocelyn, I agree that it would be selfish to bring a baby into the world when you know you can’t provide for it. This is why abortions are needed. Some people simply cannot afford a child. Especially if they are struggling themselves. A baby would further complicate things and babies are very expensive.
Hello Jocelyn, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic. It is a very sad and that feeling of angry that women are being taken away this right away in their lives. It is a women’s decision on wether she wants to abort or child or not.
