After Tiller Documentary Analysis
Abortion in the United States is a complicated issue; it has many layers and facets. One of those facets is the issue of anti-abortion violence directed at physicians. This subject initially caught my attention when I was browsing through the documentary tab on Netflix. I came across this documentary called After Tiller. After Tiller is a documentary that chronicles the life of three late-term abortion doctors following the assassination of their colleague Dr. George Tiller. The film illustrates the three doctors and their experiences dealing with threats and protesters. This documentary took me on a rollercoaster of emotions - it made me cry, concerned, and angry. I was crying for the young women who were going through a trying time, concerned

    Before watching this movie, I thought corn farms would be produced through plantation agriculture since corn is usually produced in large quantities on monoculture farms, or intensive agriculture because farmers want more crops using less amount of land so they are able to make more profit from their harvested crops. I imagined corn farms to be hundreds, maybe even thousands, of rows of green husks stretching for miles. Once the corns were in seasons and ready to be harvested, there would be tractors that drove down the rows to collect the corn. I know corn is an important grain for agriculture, especially for the livestock industry so I believed farmers would produce an abundant amount of corn for the population and livestock consumption.…

    The Farmingville documentary examines the clash between long time residents of a Long Island, NY suburban community and Mexican day laborers who move into their neighborhood. The illegal immigrant population has grown to ten percent of the town’s population because of the area’s successful restaurant, landscaping, and construction industries. Many in Farmington are not happy with the arrival of the immigrants in their community, and yet they accept that the day laborers perform the jobs that the residents do not want to do themselves. The immigration problems Farmingville faces are being experienced throughout the country, so it is interesting to see how this town deals with its illegal immigration problems. The documentary does not offer any solution to this problem, however, but instead ends with the dilemma that America needs to decide what its identity is in relation to immigration. In other words, is America still a nation of immigrants or is it now closed to further immigration, especially from countries where the people do not look like us? After seeing this documentary, it is clear to me that our country needs to address…

    Abortions are now safer than childbirth itself, having an exceedingly less fatality percentage (“Supreme Court Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions in Texas,” 2016). ● Some individuals think that to put such “restrictions” on clinics creates an “undue burden” for women and their ability to receive an abortion legally (“Supreme Court Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions in Texas,” 2016). ● One argument against the regulations is that it would require a multitude of clinics to shut down, leaving countless women without a clinic nearby (“Supreme Court Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions in Texas,” 2016). ● Due to the fact that “approximately 900,000 women would have to drive close to 300 miles round trip” might cause them to go about other ways of…

    The issue of abortion is by far, one of the most controversial topics in American History and everyone seems to have an opinion on the topic. Although there are many sides to the topic, the issue has divided the majority of people to the two extreme views of the topic --Pro-choice Vs. Pro-life. We can see the main arguments of each side just by analyzing the titles given to the two sides. Those who are pro-life believe that they are in fact Pro-Life and that abortion is murder. Those who are pro-choice believe that they are Pro-choice and that outlawing abortion would take the women's freedom to make a choice about her own body. Feelings and emotions about such an issue are very powerful and it has been the case that both sides will go to extremes to defend what they believe in. Such was the case Rosalie and Hector Zevallos, owners of an abortion clinic who were kidnapped and threatened with their lives, if they would not close down their clinic. (Glover, CC, 22)…

    Throughout the twentieth century many controversial topics have sprung up but none more important than the right to life issue. With topics like murder, genocide, abortion, euthanasia and willful suicide that all violate the integrity of the human, there is no wonder why there is controversy. So discussing and arguing this topic, our class read Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Shusterman describes a future Second Civil War in the United States, also known as the "Heartland War." Shusterman imagines a world in which debates over abortion ultimately lead to armed conflict, in which pro-choice and pro-life armies clash. Eventually the country abolishes abortion and coming from this abolished law came a new law called “storking”, where a child left on a door step, wanted or not, must be taken care of by the family that owns the house, that is, until the…

    Roe V. Wade Case Analysis

    • 653 Words
    • 3 Pages

    in 2011. In an article of MAY 29, 2014, Michael Stokes Paulsen, a law professor at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, affirmed about the Roe v. Wade case, “After nearly four decades, Roe’s human death toll stands at nearly sixty million human lives, a total exceeding the Nazi Holocaust, Stalin’s purges, Pol Pot’s killing fields, and the Rwandan genocide combined. Over the past forty years, one-sixth of the American population has been killed by abortion (Paul Stark). Besides the social facts that this case brought, it is interesting to also consider the effects that an abortion is most likely to have on a woman. According to one study of 500 aborted women, “researchers found that 50 percent expressed negative feelings, and up to 10 percent were classified as having developed "serious psychiatric complications (David C. Reardon).” Moreover, researches founded that within eight after the abortion, 55 percent of the women expressed feeling of guilt, 44 percent accused nervous disorders, 36 percent had suffer sleep disturbances, 31 percent had regrets about their decision, and 11 percent had started taking psychotropic medicine (David C.…

    The abortion presentation from the perspective of the unborn infant was saddening to say the least. I had never put much thought in this topic; especially not on this level. I had rationalized that if a child was not actually born into the world; it wasn’t truly a “REAL LIFE” being taken. I now feel different about this topic. The presenter did a great job. Although abortion is a touchy issue for many; I feel as though this presentation would affect anyone who viewed it.…

    Abortion has been a heavily debated political, ethical, and moral dispute continuing for more than a decade after it was legalized in the United States in January 22, 1973. This decade long debate between “pro-life” activists and “pro-choice” activists usually stem from ones ethical and moral values of whether it is right to surgically or medicinally terminate a fetus and the extremes, like death of the mother, which could occur from the pregnancy. In this debate, I would view myself as a “pro-choice” activist because I firmly believe that abortion should continue to be legal to decrease the number of unintended mothers, broken or single parent families, and family poverty.…
