On the second day of our recent Youth Advocacy Institute, we watched a 20 minute clip from the Romanian Film, 4 weeks, 3 months, 2 days. Those of you who have watched this film know that this is about solidarity and sisterhood in the face of a complete ban on safe abortion during the late 1980s in Romania. The protagonists, one of whom seeks an abortion, are forced to rent a room in a hotel, and look for a provider. A mysterious man called Mr. Bebe offers to perform the abortion, and while the young women collect as much money as they can, he asks them to have sex with him in order to dilate the pregnant woman’s cervix and insert a probe. The risk they take, the power relations between the man the two women, the transactional sex, the abortion law, the absence of the man responsible for the pregnancy, the solidarity, and the use of cinema itself as a tool led to many passionate conversations between the participants at the workshop.<\/p>\n![\"Abortion](\"http:\/\/barefootdiariesph.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/09\/abortion-massage.jpg?w=497\")

I happen to watch this movie named\u00a0\u00a04MONTHS, 3WEEKS and 2 DAYS<\/b>\u00a0which has plunged me into deeper contemplation on the poignant realities of\u00a0 world where Unsafe abortion are still\u00a0 avoidable tragedies\u00a0 in many countries. Though the abortion in the movie does not result out to be unsafe but the context in which the abortion was provided could have fostered equal probability unsafe abortion. She could have been the victim of unsafe abortion and died .The cost at which these abortion takes place in countries where abortion are illegal and punishable \u00a0are really harsh and unimaginable. Being the part of this global world \u00a0it has inspired me to be vocal about the\u00a0 statements as THERE IS NO SUCH THING CALLED NO ABORTION, THERE IS EITHER SAFE ABORTION OR \u00a0UNSAFE ABORTION regarding the safe abortion and the\u00a0strict laws that compels women towards the unsafe abortion.<\/p>\n
