    In the New York Times op-ed titled “Baby Hope’s Birth Mom Has a Name,” author Jennifer Weiner talks about the problem of abortion in relation to a situation brought up in Trump’s State of the Union address. Officer Ryan Holets was on duty when he saw Crystal Champ and her husband injecting themselves with some kind of drug, and when he walked over to them he realized she was pregnant. Holets felt that he should adopt the child and get help for the opioid-addicted couple– and he did. However, Weiner claims that Trump purposely left out Ms. Champs name and cut her from the story after the Holets made their adoption offer in order to subtly advance the claim that a fertilized egg is equal to a human life, and the egg should be treated as such.…

    At the beginning they talk about how the two clinics are across the street from each other, the Women’s Health Care Center purchased the building from a chiropractor in a matter of a small amount of time, so they can stage protest daily against the Women’s World Clinic and provide another path for women seeking abortion, many women mistaken the Women’s Health for the abortion clinic. Anne, who runs the Women Health Clinic, surprised me with her actions during the film. She would give out mix information to the women who think they are in the right building and are preparing for an abortion. Widline a fifteen years old who was 10 weeks pregnant came in and she was not financially or emotionally ready for a baby and Brittney who was nineteen years old who is seven week pregnant and was ready to abort her pregnancy (she had one once before). Why both women was in the office, Anne would run in and out whispering to the other staff members in the office “she abortion-minded”, “Let’s get her in for an ultrasound (at times they would put messages on the ultrasound print out), and see if we can get a heartbeat.” While the…

    Codi and Loyd have had a rough past from when they dated back in high school. But Loyd was a jerk and a player who slept around with many different girls, and when he got Codi pregnant she didn’t even tell him. “Anybody would say that baby was my own fault, and he didn’t even know about it” (131). This quote suggests that they didn’t have a very close relationship. Because if they were together as a couple and trusted each other she would have told him about the baby from day one and things would probably be a lot different now. It could also suggests that she wasn’t proud of what had happened considering she was only fifteen and she didn’t have a mother who she could go to for things like this, so she was trying to deal with it the best she could. But because Loyd was a player and they were only fifteen, having a baby wasn’t a good thing in the first place. Making it so no one else knew could have made it seem like it wasn’t a big deal. However without anyone knowing about the baby resulted in her having to go through it all alone. Then when she had the miscarriage or stillbirth she was alone in that as well. But now that she has come back to Grace…

    Having the church threatening people makes it very difficult for things to change anytime soon. The country is experiencing "in increasingly acrimonious debate over abortion" with recent restrictions imposed in several Mexican states "sparking widespread protests from women's groups and human right's organizations, who saw it as a sign of growing influence of the religious right." On October 18, dozens of police raided a clinic of an international family planning agency and arrested a doctor and nurse accused of performing abortions. This is why doctors refuse to perform abortions in fear of the authorities. If the doctors won't perform them, then women resort to unsanitary abortions to ensure that they don't have the baby, putting many women in danger of bad medical…

    The Planned Parenthood organization is murdering unborn babies everyday. Millions of people out there believe that unborn babies are just a group of cells, not living human beings. At just five weeks, a fetus has a heartbeat and can move around. At eight weeks, a fetus has arms and legs and at ten weeks, it has a brain and can feel pain. They can even suck their thumb! How is that not a living human? It’s a human life and Planned Parenthood is murdering it.…

    A few examples of pro-life special interest groups include the Campaign for Working Families, National Right to Life, and Center for Medical Progress of Los Angeles. These groups believe wholeheartedly that human life is created at the point of conception. These groups have made several efforts to “expose” Planned Parenthood for “wrongdoings” that could lead to the program being shut down or cut off from funding. For example, the Center for Medical Progress of Los Angeles released footage that allegedly “proved” that Planned Parenthood sold aborted remains for profit…
