Oh Baby” is a film which attempts to portray what life after restrictions on abortion can lead to. Roe vs. Wade was enacted in 1973 and the Supreme courts decision at the time stood by women making their decision on abortion along side of their doctors. In present day America, we are facing potential bans and restrictions on the reproductive rights of women. One example of a restriction on the termination of pregnancy is the introduction of the heartbeat bill, which is said to revoke the rights of women to have a legal abortion five to six weeks into their pregnancy. At this time in most pregnancies, women are unaware that they are with child. It is unjust to revoke safe, legal forms of abortion for women. There are several cases where abortion is not permitted, even if the woman was raped and forced to conceive. If legal abortions are no longer an option, women will be forced to seek detrimental alternatives.
Abortion is a right that should not be stripped away from women. Abortion is their decision to make based on the circumstances of their pregnancy. It is our right to decide when it is our time to become a parent. More often than not, pregnancy is unwarranted and it can be more harmful to conceive rather than search for an alternative. Throughout the film, I have included symptoms a women may experience, as well as an alternative method of abortion if it becomes illegal to terminate a pregnancy.
