Why ?
Abortion has been at the topic of many political debates; prolife or prochoice. Billboard in New York , pertaining to abortion is sending the wrong message to society about the African American Woman. The billboard has an African American Child on it ; stating that “The most dangerous place to be is in its mother womb”. This is implying an numerous amount of negative images of pregnant African American woman. That the black woman is not clean , or fail to nurture their children in the womb. Or, even black woman abusing drugs while carry an child in her womb. It is believed that the only way the unborn can be protected is when it merges into the outside world; because being in the black mother womb is being considered immoral.
No one should have the right to tell an woman ; what she should do with her body. Black woman have the right to terminate an pregnancy, just like any other race. In history , black men and women was used to breed more black children for slavery . Some black slave woman back in that time ,would use seaweed and other earthly substance s to terminate an pregnancy ;so their children would not half to suffer the life of an slave, like they have .. Nowadays, legal abortion are being administered to terminate unwanted pregnancies . Lots of black woman even in this day and time , still see oppressive condition ; and still do not want to raise children in this time. However , I do not agree with abortions being used as an birth control method, that is highly immoral ;but it should be done ,if it is an unwanted pregnancy do to accidental, rape and high risk pregnancy. Men should not have the say so in whether an woman can get an abortion or not . It should be exclusively on the woman; because she is the one that half to carry this baby; she has the right to abort the child ; it is her body. Black woman being the soul life support of the unborn .
By the woman being pregnant , it is still in element of matter that is ascending in her body; which gives her ownership of the unborn matter. The unborn is not even considered an part of the world until it is born; then name and social security number and birth certificate is giving to the new born. Why isn’t the unborn giving these three things before it comes into the world. Is it because the unborn is not considered human yet, or maybe it is no guarantee that the unborn will live after birth. Why, is the unborn not valued as an human being ,until it is born. Why not give it acknowledge before it emerges into the world , if it suppose to be life ? Why? Because it is not valued as an life, until it emerges into the world.
