Since the signing of the Anti-Abortion Act in Alabama, the United States has been able to provoke a thousand waves and encountered unprecedented protests and boycotts. Women from many places put on the nun costumes in “The Handmaid’s Tale” to hold a parade, and put out various slogans in support of abortion, protesting that the government’s bill violated their right to free birth. In the House of representatives, many female senators also said it was declaring war against women across the United States.
At the same time, many stars have also expressed their opinions. Superstar Rihana posted a photo of a member of the anti-abortion bill on a social networking site, saying: “Look at these idiots who make decisions for American women, and you are ashamed!”
Lady Gaga also made a statement saying: “Prohibition of abortion is a shameless act.”
KatyPerry called: “It is now time for kind women and men to stand up and speak for their rights.”
Hollywood actress Mila Jovovich complained to the government: “Why did you make this decision for women? This decision was clearly the result of consultation between women and their family, friends, and doctors, but it is now controlled by the government.”
Singer Billieeilish also bombarded the bill, saying: “Women have the right to do what they want, say what they want to say, and become what they want to be. No one has the right to tell them how to live and how to do it.”
Many people have forwarded a sentence on the Internet: “Males should not make laws related to female bodies.”
From civilians to famous singers, why did everyone react so fiercely? Behind these protests, what actually reflects the anxiety of today’s women.
People have always believed that childbirth is a natural thing for women, and this is the bounden duty of women. If a woman has never given birth in her life, then people around her will think she has a problem. If a married woman has no childbearing because of schooling, work, etc., then she will definitely suffer from “breeding”. If an unmarried woman becomes pregnant, society will not treat her politely, and instead use various moral standards and practical dilemmas to punish her. Even when children are legally born at the right age, they will still face the problems of “second child”, “boys and girls” and “elderly women”. In general, as a woman, she seems to have little ego, almost entirely surrounded by external voices. However, with the development of social civilization, more and more women began to live themselves. Late marriage and late childbirth have become a common phenomenon, and Dink is single.
However, whenever there are such examples, there are always voices questioning them and trying to intervene. So, do women have the right to choose independently? What kind of life do you live without marriage or childbirth? All women are anxious: who has the final say in my life?
In fact, women’s status in the first matriarchal society of mankind is very lofty. The family pedigree formed by the mother’s bloodline gives women the right to speak in all aspects. However, with the development of the social form, the paternal line replaced the maternal line, and women began to exist as vassals, losing the right to control their own destiny. Although the situation in modern society has improved slightly, it is undeniable that to this day, discrimination between men and women can still be felt at all levels. In important fields and important positions, women’s seats are far less than men’s, and women must make much more effort to achieve the same achievements as men. Under pressure, why are women not anxious?
Judging from the Anti-Abortion Law just passed by the United States, once pregnancy begins, women have no choice but to accept it, regardless of the reason, whether they want it or not, regardless of the actual conditions, they must be born. Women anxiously realized that their own destiny was once again controlled by others. The feeling of involuntarily was too bad, and the society’s demands on women were too unfair.
Lu Xun once said that if it does not erupt in silence, it will perish in silence. As a result, so many women protested. In essence, they are only worried about losing the control of their own destiny.
Can this problem be solved? Of course, as long as the law gives them sufficient justice and fairness, many problems will be solved. Just as the signing of the “Anti-Abortion Law” was originally a good thing, but it was too arbitrary and too violent, which directly caused great anxiety for women, of course, it will not go well. If the government can fully take into account the realities of society and take action to dispel the anxiety of women, everything will be better.
