I really cannot think of too much that has happened in this past week that can be connected with what we all have learned in this class in general. However, I could not believe some of the articles that I had read that were assigned this week. One article that was assigned was called “My Fight for Abortion,” which I had found really sad. The woman in the story was married and had 3 children already, she ended up pregnant one day and knew she would not be able to afford another child. She ended up resorting to try and conduct an abortion herself, but it went wrong and she was found nearly dead on the floor, but she survived. The part of the story I had found really upsetting and sadening was when the woman asked the doctor how she could prevent ending up pregnant and back in the same situation she had just found herself in, the doctor just basically chuckled and told her the only way would be to have her husband sleep on the roof. Well some time later, the woman did end up pregnant and back in that same situation, only this time she didn’t survive. I found this story so sad because all this woman wanted was a solution to being able to be sexually active with her husband but not have to have that chance of becoming pregnant. Nobody seemed to have a solution for her though.
I also had watched the youtube video that was assigned called “Libertyville Abortion Demonstration,” and I could not believe that all of those anti-abortionists didn’t have an answer to the question “what should the punishment be if a woman had an illegal abortion?” This video just made me feel like most of those anti-abortionists are just running their mouths and trying to make people feel bad, but they don’t seem to have put much thought into it to back them up other than abortion is wrong because its killing a life. I mean really, if they want it illegal so bad, wouldn’t you think they would have put some thought into a punishment?
