Planned Parenthood Film Analysis

1791 Words8 Pages

Abortion is a very circumstantial topic, it is not discussed in everyday conversation. Additionally, it is a controversial topic and differs from politics to religion. In this paper, I will discuss a movie called Doonby, and relate it to the real-world scandal of Planned Parenthood being exploited for selling the parts of aborted babies. I selected an article for the real-world phenomenon about the Congressional hearing for Planned Parenthood. The hearing is focused on the company breaking laws to sell aborted babies. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider. The hearing is used to help understand the scandal by bringing in medical experts and witnesses to testify for the acts of violence. Planned Parenthood is being accused …show more content…

After her house was destroyed by attackers, she gave birth, then killed herself and the baby in a well. Lucy Mae becomes pregnant by a married man who has other kids. She believes that if she tells the man, he won’t love her anymore because he sees her as his “property”. While in “No Name Woman” there was no proof, the reader could infer that there was no way it was her husband’s child. Although, Lucy Mae wasn’t criticized on her pregnancy, mainly because nobody knew, it was her thoughts that controlled her action to get an …show more content…

The community in both the article about Planned Parenthood and the movie Doonby is pro-life. While the enemies and friends of each differ, both fight for the unborn fetus. The friend versus enemy battle between the politicians and Planned Parenthood determine the community of pro-life. The same goes for the movie, the battle between characters and Lucy Mae’s conscience prove to be pro-life. The main difference is how each argues. Planned Parenthood takes a more political stand and Doonby reaches towards the audience’s emotion. Doonby refers to the unknown potential that the unborn fetus could possibly have, while the article talks about the aftermath of the abortion and selling of the baby’s body parts for a profit. The word abortion isn’t even mentioned in Doonby, Lucy Mae says that she is going to visit the new doctor in

Summary Of Childless By Choice By Marian Faux

971 Words | 4 Pages

Marian Faux is an author deeply engaged in writing about the basic personal matters of modern times. Her previous book, Childless by Choice, discussed the advantages and disadvantages of bearing children, and the effects that the legalization of abortion had on premature mothers.

Prior to this effort, Faux attempted to summarize the subject of abortion into one book, in which, she claimed that “Abortion

Margaret Sanger The Children's Era Summary

1073 Words | 5 Pages

Trying to prevent neglected children and back-alley abortions, Margaret Sanger gave the moving speech, “The Children’s Era,” in 1925 to spread information on the benefits and need for birth control and women's rights. Margaret Sanger--activist, educator, writer, and nurse--opened the first birth control clinic in the United States and established organizations that evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. During most of the 1900’s, birth control and abortions were illegal in the United States, causing women to give birth unwillingly to a child they must be fully responsible for. This caused illness and possible death for women attempting self-induced abortion. Sanger uses literary devices such as repetition and analogies

In the summer of 2013, Texas senator Wendy Davis stood on her feet for thirteen hours (with no restroom breaks) to fight against a bill that would close numerous abortion clinics in Texas. During the filibuster, Davis presented an important question: “What purpose does this bill serve? And could it be, might it just be a desire to limit women's access to safe, healthy, legal, constitutionally-protected abortions in the state of Texas?” (Bassett, “Wendy Davis …”). For centuries women have struggled for adequate access to birth control and resorted to abhorrent means of abortion when they face unwanted pregnancies.

Pros And Cons Of Elizabeth Warren Planned Parenthood

1401 Words | 6 Pages

Elizabeth Warren addresses these oppositions of Planned Parenthood by asserting the actual facts regarding the organization and reminding the senate that “this affects all of us, whatever your age, wherever you live.” This is found apparent with understanding that nearly 2.7 million women and men visit Planned Parenthood health centers for help every single year. Warren establishes the concept that “One in five women in America is a Planned Parenthood patient at least once in her life” due to the organization being non-profit and readily accessible for those in need. While the STOPP organization protests Planned Parenthood for it’s non-Christian doctrines, over 30% of America does not identify as being Christian and the large majority of patients are not heavily religious, so that portion of the USA has no spiritual qualms with the services provided.

Abortion: The Picture Of Planned Parenthood

432 Words | 2 Pages

Was she drunk, on drugs ... or is she just an insensitive, uncaring moron? The picture of the Planned Parenthood doctor eating a salad, sipping wine, and laughing while describing the abortion process is, without doubt, an ugly insight into what this disgraceful organization is all about. First this idiot talked about the abortion process ...“we crush the skull, which creates a ‘crunching’ noise, then the remains are dragged out, carefully, so that the body parts can be harvested and prepared for sale.” “We sell the body parts to whoever is willing to pay the highest price.” “We are now attempting to develop a process that will serve to reduce the ‘crunching’ of the skull noise” ... smiling and laughing as she articulated her enjoyment while committing murder.

Planned Parenthood

1395 Words | 6 Pages

Planned Parenthood is a topic that is continuously discussed in correlation with the concept of money as many believe that it “...emphasizes abortions instead of preventative care” (Attira). Because of birthrights, abortions, and the controversy that surrounds such issues, many individuals believe that the government should not be responsible for providing funding. Therefore, actually defunding Planned Parenthood is often brought up as a solution to the highly-debated consensus of government-funded healthcare services. Although many believe that creating a barrier between opinion and action is a positive push, actually defunding the program would be more catastrophic than perceived. Defunding Planned Parenthood would mean blocking and preventing individuals from receiving the health care that they are reliant on.

Inca And Aztec Compare And Contrast

998 Words | 4 Pages

The Incas and the Aztecs often are paired together, as they were part of the same period of time, the 1300s to the 1500s, and similar places, as they lived in regions of South America and Mesoamerica. These two civilizations are different in an economic way, as the Incas were self-sufficient because of agriculture and the Aztecs were more trade based. I argue that the economical differences between the two civilizations were caused by their environment and their technological advancements. Aztecs traded because they needed a way to gain land and in turn, induce beliefs. But first, how did they travel to get goods to other places?

The statistics are also on their side, in 2004, only 1.4% of abortions were rape cases, (We Need Abortion, 1).

This shows that while yes, these are tragic, a majority of the abortion cases have not been rape cases, so why keep it around for these rare occurrences?
