As they told me I was pregnant I couldn’t believe it I was upset and as well thrilled with the news, I kept telling them that I couldn’t be pregnant and that was certain that I wasn’t I was surprised. I felt a rush of excitement and sadness cross my mind, there were so many questions to be answered that keep running through my mind but one continually was coming back to me was the thought of ‘how everyone would think of me’ knowing that I’m pregnant in prison, that’s is due to get hung for the crime that I have not committed, to think about what they would say and think about me. I started fearing for the worse for the baby and my own life ‘if they make me give the baby up for them to hang’ or in 9 months from now, as soon as I give birth for them to snatch the baby away, either way I’ll be irritated and devastated, but knowing that one day it will come and I’ll have to give it up and let them take me life as they have done to others that have not done wrong. …show more content…

If John and I were to be in its life, we would have to confess to a crime, we haven’t committed and have everything we worked for and built ripped from underneath us to restart again. If we do not confess, who would be left to look after the baby and care for it as it grows in age? Would Ruth and the two boys help raise it together or will it be put up for adoption who knows? If only John knew I was pregnant, maybe he would confess to the crime and so would I. He would come back to me and wouldn’t have to be pushed away and have an affair with a child which was partially my fault by pushing him away, with doing that we would be able to start a new chapter in our life with a miracle baby, that we weren’t able to have before and have a happy family at

Your provider 's who truly care about the child and really want to make a difference. Then there are those providers who simply do it as a business and for the money.

In order to assure that the health needs of incarcerated pregnant women are met by prison and jail administrations it is important for them to know the profile of these women before they enter the facility. These prisons should have resources, staff, and information ready for these special groups of women. Since these women represent a small portion of the facility, it may be difficult to provide special healthcare needs. However, these women should not be treated as if they were a standard inmate when in fact they are not. Courts in certain states claim that pregnancy does not constitute as a serious medical need, basically meaning that being pregnant is not an illness or disability (UCLA Women Law Journal, 2010).

My motto before taking this class had always been, "I 'm not going to do that, but I am not going to stop anyone from doing it. " I knew for sure that I was in support of gay marriage, had no problem with people who chose to work in the sex industry, and told myself that abortion is a choice that everyone woman had the right to make, just not me.

Mills identifies that obstetric ultrasound is the address which can be seen as directly calling the fetus into being as a person (2014:96-97, 102). She argues that through experiences of ultrasound the fetus is framed in such a way as to bring felicity into question in assigning or withholding of personhood depending on whether the pregnancy is maternally ‘wanted’ and whether it is medically ‘viable’ (2014:96-97). To this end, Mills queries whether assignment of fetal personhood in utero obfuscates the normative significance of birth (2014:99, 102). Mills discussion focuses on the ways in which the fetal personhood debate has been centered around abortion and fetal homicide, and how the role of obstetric ultrasound as a routine part of pregnancy has effectively undermined the normative significance of birth (2014:99-100, 102). Similarly, Roberts argues that the erasure of the body of the gestating woman within fetal ultrasound imagery begins the process of removing the woman from the fetus, and hence, constructing the fetus as an individual (2013:4).
