Cultural Analysis
Abortion may be an eight letter word but it still is one of the biggest controversies throughout the world today. While there are many Pro- Life people, there are still the same amount of pro-choice people as well. Some may feel as though having an abortion does not seem as much as a big deal as some may think, but in reality it is a very big deal. Having an abortion comes’ with pros as well as cons for example: not having a baby, but it can sometimes and usually most of the times have negative after effects as in health issues etc. While reading Claire Culwell’s blog on her story “ Abortion Survivor Story” , she tells her story on how she became an abortion survivor. After viewing you will see why having abortions are bad and why searching other options are better; adoption.
Culwell’s blog talk about how her mother was 13 when she found out that she was pregnant and went to have an abortion. After her abortion she found out that she was still pregnant and the doctor told her that she was having twins and that’s why having an abortion didn’t work the first time. When she went to get a second abortion the doctor told her It was too late to have another one. Her mother gave her up for adoption and concludes that she wish that she would just had the babies and then give them both up for an adoption if she would have known the effects of having an abortion.
After reading this blog, one would see that Culwell’s blog is enforcing the adoption policy and that getting an abortion is wrong and pointless. Also she is stating that instead of hurting ones self, we could actually help other people who cant have babies themselves. The social purposes of this text is to help confused soon to be parents out with their decisions on whether or not if they should get an abortion or not. To show them the other positive reasons on why they should keep their baby, because they an make another family happy.
Some difference between my values and the readers values in the text are really not that different. Both of us feel as though getting an abortion is wrong because it doesn’t give the unborn baby a chance to speak for itself because he/ she has not been born yet, and they can not tell you if they would like to be born or not. This text has a social understanding to the extent to why the mother was having an abortion. And the reason was because she felt that she was to young to have children. Although this text tells why females should rather go to an adoption agency then having an abortion, this might hurt others that still feel as though getting an abortion is the only other option that they have for them. And if being able to get an abortion became illegal then a lot of people would become upset.
This text is connected to a lot of other social groups because a lot of people do believe that having an adoption is the better option than getting an abortion. Having your child be adopted will let him or her get to speak their own voice. This abortion survivor got to speak her voice and got to see and live life and is blessed for it. Not many babies get to say that because they were aborted.
