Since May 15, 2019, the first female Republican governor of Alabama in the United States signed and passed a controversial “anti-abortion bill” and announced that it will take effect six months later. The debate on “freedom” has never stopped, and the disputes of all parties are very arrogant, publicly speaking, publicly speaking, and reasonably speaking, and supporters and opponents are clearly distinguished.
Why did this bill cause such a big argument? The reason is that the bill stipulates that women cannot have an abortion at any stage of pregnancy. Even if you are a victim of rape or incest, once a child is pregnant, the child must be born; unless the pregnancy has seriously affected the health of the pregnant woman, it cannot be aborted; if there is Doctors who help women have abortions will face up to 99 years in prison.
American media said that this bill is the most stringent in the United States. However, as soon as the bill came out, it caused an uproar, and many American women thought it was a violation of their freedom. The famous singer Lady Gaga took the lead on social media: “This Alabama bill is outrageous. It actually excludes rape and incest victims from legal abortion. The doctors who help abortion are subject to criminal laws more than rapists. Important? This can’t be more ridiculous. I pray for all women who have to be in this legal system.” Singer Rihanna also tweeted the 25 politicians who passed the bill: “Look at it! These are stupid protein idiots who make decisions for American women! Shame for you!”
The contradictory focus seems to be on women’s reproductive choices. Johnson, the drafter of the bill, declared: “No matter how the fertilization process takes place, it produces a child. We believe that these unborn children should be protected by law. If the pregnancy caused by rape or incest is overemphasized, the judge will there is no way to tell which pregnancy is protected by law and which is not.” And opponents declared: “Do I even have the right to make decisions for my body?”
One side emphasizes the right of the fetus to live, and the other side focuses on women’s right to choose. It should be said that the birth of each law is a game, and it will also deprive some people of their rights when protecting the rights of some people. Judging from the original intention of the legislation of this bill, it is undoubtedly a respect for life. However, in the actual implementation process, the proportion of special cases that many women worry about is not small. How can the deadlock be solved in this power struggle?
Jment Lim believes that we should respect women’s right to make independent choices, but at the same time we must awaken obligations with love. There has never been an absolute “one size fits all” thing in the world, not to mention the fertility event involving many social ethical issues?
Every woman has the right to control her body freely, which is beyond doubt. However, is this freedom unconstrained? of course not. As we all know, rights and obligations are always opposite and unified. To enjoy rights, we must fulfill our obligations. If a woman has the right to be a mother, then she must also fulfill her obligation to be a mother; of course, she also has the right not to be a mother, so she must also bear all the responsibilities for her choice.
Many people are entangled in whether the child is what we want, but no matter what the cause is, when the facts are formed, we should as far as possible evoke the innate motherly love of women, use love to resolve the dilemma, and give us another way out, One more possibility. Of course, all this is based on respecting women’s free choice. Do you want to give your child a chance to see the world? The choice is yours. In the words of a philosopher: “I may not agree with your choice, but I vow to defend your right to choose.”
However, the word “mother” is too great, we must use love to wake up, not to give up easily.
