These days, the world is discussing a topic -
The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Rowe v. Wade decision.
This means that women's right to abortion is no longer constitutionally protected.
In fact, as early as the beginning of May, the relevant drafts were leaked out of the Internet.
At that time, it provoked a large number of protests from the people.
Unfortunately, the ending was not rewritten.
Now, things are moving in a more divisive direction.
On one side were anti-abortion activists, cheering and celebrating the victory.
On the other side are advocates of abortion rights, marching, burning the national flag and hoarding abortion pills.
Politicians have made a fierce statement.
Current President Joe Biden denounced the ruling for setting the United States back 150 years.
Former President Trump, on the other hand, "asked for credit" in a high profile, saying that he contributed to the ruling.
The Supreme Court's right to abortion ruling, like a deep-water bomb, detonated the long-standing contradictions in American society.
It has long since gone beyond the scope of medical treatment or women's rights and interests, and has become a mirror that illuminates the absurdity of power and human nature.
As early as 26 years ago, a movie predicted the reality of the moment.
The dispute over abortion rights has been made into a great satirical comedy .
Citizen Ruth
Citizen Ruth
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that who are the most direct victims?
Nature is for women who have an urgent need for abortion.
For example, the heroine of the film, Ruth played by Laura Dunn.
She had no money, no job.
No fixed partner, no stable residence.
Live a chaotic and precarious life.
He had 4 miscarriages.
I have had 3 children, but none of them have been raised.
Either lost to a family member or sent to a foster care facility.
She has a severe drug addiction.
In more than a year, he was imprisoned for drug use as many as 16 times.
After 6 treatments, all ended in failure.
She went back to living a life of self-indulgence.
One day, after having sex with a man, Ruth was violently kicked out.
She had nowhere to go.
I wanted to go home and live, but I was also refused.
After several pleadings, he asked his brother for a little pocket money.
But the money was soon spent on drugs again.
She sat paralyzed in the street, sucking her head.
Once again, he was taken away by the police with his mouth full of blue.
At this time, she was told that she was pregnant.
To make matters worse, she was also prosecuted by the procuratorate for repeatedly teaching and seriously threatening the life of the fetus.
To avoid trouble, the judge privately advised her to have an abortion as soon as possible in exchange for a commutation of sentence.
Ruth agreed.
After all, how could she, who was still suffering from drug addiction in prison, become a mother?
But unexpectedly, an obvious point-off question became tricky.
Ruth's case was reported by the media and became a public incident.
Her stomach couldn't help herself anymore.
Like a ball being kicked around, Ruth began her "crossing" between different interest groups.
The first to receive her were a couple who seemed to be kind and kind-hearted.
They are devout Christians, staunch anti-abortionists.
Not only did he empty his wallet to bail Ruth out, but he also took her home and gave her meticulous care.
Boil the bath water for her, prepare a hearty dinner, and spread clean sheets.
It made Ruth completely let her guard down.
After that, they wasted no time in instilling an anti-abortion concept in Ruth.
Share your own fertility story based on the experience of people who have come over.
The wife gave birth to a daughter for the first time, and the ghost door was closed for a while, and she almost could not have children again.
But then he unexpectedly gave birth to a young son.
She called this son a miracle of life.
Then take Ruth to the clinic and brainwash her by a professional.
The doctor skillfully compared the plastic model and told her that the fetus had a human form and a heartbeat.
With the specially produced video, through various restrictive pictures, she is repeatedly reminded that life is conceived in her belly.
"Abortion is the same as murder."
Finally, Ruth was taken to the abortion center of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Let her join the "Life Save" demonstration team.
Curse the women who came to have a miscarriage.
After a series of operations, the couple thought they had successfully transformed Ruth.
They unilaterally announced to the media that Ruth had decided to keep the child.
But as everyone knows, Ruth's heart is on drugs.
She has been secretly trying to take drugs.
When the drug addiction attacked, he also beat and scolded the children in the family.
Finally, the couple found out and drove him out.
Unfortunately, Ruth was not able to regain her freedom.
A spy has already infiltrated the "Save Lives" faction, waiting for an opportunity to take Ruth away.
As a result, Ruth has just escaped the clutches of the anti-abortion faction and fallen into the trap of pro-abortion factions.
Similarly, this group of people also provided her with a comfortable living environment.
They criticize the hypocrisy of religious groups.
Convincing Ruth to have an abortion and teaching her to reclaim her rights is the only way to advance women's social status.
But at the same time, they locked her up in her room and did not allow her to make contact with the outside world.
Because of the outside world, a bloody struggle has been set off.
In order to compete for Ruth's right to abortion, the two major factions have developed from open and secret struggle to coercion and inducement.
Anti-abortion activists demonstrated and sat in front of Ruth's house throughout the night.
They even threatened to give Ruth $15,000 as soon as she gave birth to a child.
Not to be outdone, the pro-abortionists offered the same price tag.
So the day Ruth went to the hospital, it was like a duel between the two factions.
The anti-abortion faction, using the tactics of the sea of people, gathered the masses to hold up signs and shout slogans at ruth's doorstep;
The pro-abortion faction, with its own blood, sent helicopters and luxury cars to deliver Ruth seamlessly to the hospital.
In the form of jokes and exaggerations, the film satirizes the absurd social reality.
A woman's womb became a chip in factional fighting.
Whether it is anti-abortion factions or pro-abortion factions, everything is from warm pulse to horizontal dragging.
They indulge in their respective kingdoms of meaning, fighting for the interests of their own communities.
Ignored Ruth's real needs.
Anti-abortionists kidnap Ruth for their religious beliefs and morals to protect lives.
Declare that the life in her body and belly deserves to belong to God
But he didn't consider that Ruth had been using drugs throughout her pregnancy and might not be able to save the child at all.
The pro-abortionists, who seem to stand in Ruth's position, encouraged her to beat up the child.
But also ignored Ruth's physical condition.
In fact, Ruth had already had a bleeding miscarriage the morning she left for the hospital.
Ruth, who was trapped in it, had long lost the ability to choose independently.
It seems that every decision is up to her.
But the fundamental interests are still at the helm, whichever party gives more money, she is inclined to which side.
This also makes a mockery of the attitude of various interest groups in the film.
Obviously, what Ruth needs most is to quit drug addiction, live a normal life, be popularized health knowledge, and then make her own choices.
But her perceptions are dwarfed and the choice is taken away.
He was also forced to wear a top hat of "fraternity" or "freedom".
At the end of the film, the slogans get louder and louder, but everything has nothing to do with Ruth herself and the abortion problem.
Ruth's encounter condenses the most absurd part of the american abortion rights struggle .
Women are deprived of subjectivity.
Reduced to a chip in the power struggle, a victim of bipolar society.
And this fear of losing control of the body hangs over every woman's head.
As in the classic horror film Rosemary's Baby, a husband dedicates his wife's womb to Satan in order to get a career promotion.
Her husbands, neighbors, and doctors cheated on her until she gave birth to a child without pupils that she didn't know she had been taken advantage of.
Or in "The Handmaid's Tale", the "Gileads" turned women into state assets in order to solve the problem of low birth rates.
Fertile women were reduced to fertility machines, and women who were infertile or rebelled against power were hanged or sent to colonies.
"What the hell am I doing wrong, to go through such pain?"
Now it seems that both Rosemary and Gilead have lost to reality.
Beginning with Rowe v. Wade in the 1970s, the debate over abortion rights has been deeply marked by politics and religion.
The meticulous preparation of the feminist lawyer and the background of the second feminist movement contributed to the victory of the case.
However, the fierce denial of abortion by many Christians has also been deadlocked for a long time.
There are even extremist religious elements who have killed an obstetrician who helped a woman have an abortion for the sake of assertion.
Overturn Rowe v. Wade
As the "Life Faction" and the "Chosen Faction" camps gradually grew, the struggle became increasingly fierce.
The two major political parties in the United States have also begun to take a stand one after another, winning the votes of different camps.
This, in turn, makes the issue of abortion highly politicized and therefore more complex and volatile.
Today, Trump has "blamed" himself for the matter, as he appoints three Supreme Court judges who ruled.
It can be seen that the abortion problem has been completely reduced to a battlefield for political parties.
In fact, the right to abortion was not given to women themselves from the outset.
Rowe v. Wade has been an effective driver of the legalization of abortion.
However, in the judgment at that time, the legal right to abortion was established based on the constitutional protection of the right to privacy of individuals.
Whether women have abortions is attributed to personal privacy, and the outside world naturally has no way to interfere.
So, although Rowe v. Wade was once held high in the banner of feminist triumph.
But Justice Ginsburg has objected, arguing that the final ruling, which should have focused on the right to equality, was erroneously based on due process provisions.
She believed that what the government had to do was not to give women the right to abortion, but to recognize women's own decision-making power.
This claim has caused resentment among many feminists, who believe that the victory of the outcome is the goal.
However, in the new ruling, conservative Justice Samuel Alito also pointed this out.
He said that the argument in Rowe v. Wade was weak, and instead of addressing the issue of abortion, it deepened the differences.
This also makes the Case of Rowe v. Wade half a century later, but it can be easily overturned.
This undoubtedly confirms once again that women want to truly regain the legal rights of abortion.
It is inevitable to take the power, as Ginsburg said, to really take power into his own hands.
At the end of "Citizen Ruth", Ruth takes the opportunity to go to the toilet and climbs over the fence.
With her "bonus", she fled the hospital.
Ironically, there were groups of demonstrators fighting for her, but no one noticed Ruth's escape.
Finally, Ruth ran away.
The back of her running, brisk than ever.
But the real -- Ruths may not have such luck.
It is conceivable that in this gradually crazy struggle.
There will also be countless women who will fall prey to Ruth.
In ideological disputes, they were despised again and again and sacrificed.
