Trap: Movie Analysis

Complications from unsafe abortions kill 47,000 women each year; these women make up nearly 13 percent of all maternal deaths.(7) The movie Trapped follows the struggles of the clinic workers and lawyers who are on the front lines of a battle to keep abortion safe and legal for millions of american women.

Women already go through enough emotional pain about the decision from friends, family, and even strangers outside abortion clinics protesting day and night. This relates to my pro-choice MRP topic because women wouldn't want to use abortion as a form of birth control if they had to deal with all of that
