Amanda kept a lot of secrets to herself, like that she was pregnant and that she was black mailing Cherry’s dad. When Amanda’s body was found down at the waterfront it turned out that she was pregnant. No-body knew about this, not her friends or her boyfriend, not even her family knew about this. In the novel Kate stated that she knew nothing of this. She said “There were things Amanda wasn’t telling her.” Amanda didn’t share a lot of her secrets with the people in the group which just shows that the group didn’t really know her at all.
Pro-Protective Custody Laws Position For: A fetus is a life, a person, and most importantly a future child. It is our job as a society to ensure that he or she is protected. When this woman chose to carry this child, she in fact gave up her right to control her own body, and make choices only for her well-being. In the hunt for justice, we must make the fetus’s rights just as important as the mother’s. If a woman chooses not to seek medical attention for her unborn child, is that not the same as a mother not seeking medical attention for her baby’s aliment?
If she was educated about the importance of prenatal testing Nahla might have been normal today. Sadly, many minority women avoid the distress and discomfot of the medical industry and refuse prenatal care entirely. The skepticism results from doctors failing to effectively communicate the reasons behind such testing and failing to provide the patients with information regarding what the prenatal test is looking for and what such results mean. Because there is a lack of clear communication, some mothers are uncomfortable about recieiving such
For example, a pregnant woman refuses to seek prenatal care because of her trust in her religion. She trusts that her spirituality and belief in a higher-existence will suffice for the successful health and delivery of her baby. Also, take into account of economic and financial statuses. Minority groups are likely to have less education, less financial stability, no health insurance etc. This prevents the women of the family from obtaining the prenatal care they need because they lack the resources necessary to get care in the first place.
Their family didn’t always follow the cultural rules that they are “suppose” to follow. She knew that’s what her mother and father believed, so that was what she believed. She didn’t believe in a certain type of culture. At the end of the essay, she leaned over and asked her children if they felt any ethnic or religious identity. They firmly said “None”.
“In short, Mrs. Pontellier was beginning to realize her position in the universe as a human being…” This quote is talking about how Edna wasn’t meant to lead the life she was leading. Edna was not meant to be the stereotypical mother and housewife. Edna is, for lack of a better term, living the wrong life. She is supposed to be independent, and not take orders from the stereotypical husband, which hers is. At this point she realizes it, and the story unravels off of that detail “But the beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague…” This is saying how Edna’s awakening is like her starting in a new world, which is where this statement is pointing at.
We would have never understood the strange mindset she has about life and about her role as a mother. If Addie's character did not exsist, there would not even be a book, no plot line! William Faulkner would have named As I Lay Dying, As I Die Sitting on my Butt Doing Absolutely Nothing at All. While Addie is dead for most of the novel and we do not get a chance to pick at her brain much, Faulkner's only integration of her mind is a vital part of the story. The first we see of Addie is in
Sarah bottled up her deepest thoughts, never expressing her past to anyone. In a way, she was able to repress the painful memories. Sarah states, “No one here knows. No one here knows about the key, about you…about who I really am” (Rosnay 259). The id being, “the dark, inaccessible part of our personality” ("New Introductory Lectures"), clearly proves how someone in Sarah’s life would be unable to completely understand her due to the fact that she hid her sorrowful past.
There is no permanent law against savior babies but parents should not create life to save others. Creating donor babies is the most horrific thing. People need to understand that children are not medicine. Children are not things that you can use at the moment. Savior siblings are created by using modern technology.
The child gets chance to live and another family who may not be able to have children get a chance of experiencing the joy of having a baby. Second, the mother could keep her child. Who better to raise a baby than their own flesh and blood with the help of their family members and the father? Christians are those who lean more toward the anti-abortion side because the Bible clearly says not to murder. Those pro-abortion, generally do not consider a “fetus a human being when it is sufficiently developed to be capable of living outside the uterus,” they claim, “ a fetus is a fetus, not a human being” (Sarvis 21).
