The dictionary defines Abortion as: The termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival.

While the concept is simple enough, the crux of the argument lies in the morality of this procedure and whether or not a woman should be allowed to sacrifice a fetus to better her own life.

    ...ept wondering what Patsey would’ve done next as Solomon strode away (12 Years a Slave), but McQueen decided to end the focus on Patsey while all my questions still revolved around this innocent slave, who will never be free. Although unsettling, this decision to leave the ends loose and open-ended keeps the conversation of slavery and its cruelty open for audience members to reflect on and think about even after the movie has ended. Perhaps the decision to lead one man to his family and leave another girl in the hands of her slave owners reinforces the idea that the practice of slavery and the experiences of each individual slave are personalized and their worldviews shaped by their unique upbringing. McQueen challenges us to question an institution and practice that people assume they understand already through the two characters’ Solomon and Patsey’s experiences.

    Abortion is an extremely controversial issue and one that is continually on the forefront of debates. Those who oppose the idea (Pro-lifers), thinks it is an act of woman playing “God” who live from who dies. Yet, whether an unborn baby constitutes a normal person is questionable; a pregnant woman, on the other hand, has the undeniable right to choose whether she wants to have a child or not. Therefore, the decision to have an abortion is the personal choice and responsibility of the woman, because prohibiting abortion impedes freedom of choice and endangers the physical and mental health of women.
