    "Unwanted" is a thought-provoking documentary by Kara David that explores the issue of unwanted

    pregnancies and the various factors that contribute to them. It highlights the experiences of women
    who have faced unintended pregnancies and the challenges they have faced in trying to access safe
    and legal abortion services.

    As I watched the documentary, I was struck by the wide range of emotions that the women featured
    in the film expressed - from fear and shame to anger and determination. It was clear that these
    women were facing a deeply personal and often difficult situation, and that their decisions about
    whether to continue with or terminate their pregnancies were not taken lightly.

    One of the things that struck me most about the film was the way in which it highlighted the complex
    social, cultural, and economic factors that can contribute to unwanted pregnancies. For many of the
    women featured in the film, access to reliable contraception was limited, either due to a lack of
    availability or because of social stigma or other barriers. This underscores the importance of ensuring
    that women have access to a full range of reproductive healthcare services, including contraception,
    in order to prevent unintended pregnancies.

    Another key theme in the film was the role of stigma and shame in shaping women's experiences of
    unintended pregnancy. Many of the women featured in the film spoke about the fear and shame they
    felt in trying to access abortion services, and how this stigma often made it difficult for them to seek
    the help and support they needed. This highlights the importance of creating a supportive and non-
    judgmental environment for women seeking reproductive healthcare services, and of working to
    reduce the stigma around abortion and other reproductive health issues.

    In conclusion, "Unwanted" is a powerful and thought-provoking documentary that provides a


    poignant and poignant look at the issue of unintended pregnancies. It highlights the complex and
    varied factors that contribute to this issue and the challenges faced by women seeking to access safe
    and legal abortion services. It serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring that women have
    access to a full range of reproductive healthcare services, and of working to reduce the stigma and
    shame surrounding abortion and other reproductive health issues.

    A. I cannot answer a yes or no in this question. Here is my take:

    Abortion is currently illegal in the Philippines, except in cases where the life or physical health of the
    woman is at risk. Those who perform abortions can face criminal charges and imprisonment.

    Proponents of legalizing abortion argue that it is a fundamental right of women to have control over
    their own bodies and reproductive health, and that criminalizing abortion does not effectively reduce
    its incidence. They also argue that legalizing abortion would make it safer for women, as it would
    allow them to access safe and legal abortion services rather than resorting to dangerous and
    potentially life-threatening illegal methods.

    Opponents of legalization argue that abortion is morally wrong and that it should not be allowed
    under any circumstances. They may also argue that legalization would lead to an increase in the
    number of abortions and that it could have negative consequences for the social and cultural values
    of the country.

    Ultimately, the decision about whether to legalize abortion in the Philippines is a complex and
    contentious one that involves considering a range of moral, ethical, and practical considerations. It
    will require a careful and thoughtful examination of the pros and cons of legalization, and a
    willingness to engage in open and respectful dialogue about this important issue.

    B. Do you believe that abortion is health care?

    Yes. Abortion in cases where the mother is in dire condition, personally, I consider it health care.
