Summary: The Pregnancy Project
“Why do people give into stereotypes other people give them? Why would you ever let someone else's negative thoughts dictate how you’re going to live your life?”(Rodriguez 143) A memoir called The Pregnancy Project is an inside look in daily life of Gaby Rodriguez faking her pregnancy for a school project. The novel is full of heartbreak, some humor, break-downs, and especially drama. The memoir has a good insight and it contains many details in the beginning but it seems like she just gave up with details near the end. Even though the book lacks detail, I recommend this book to teen girls that are in high school or even college because it is very inspiring.

    Sh Jiménez's How To Get A Girl Pregnant

    Motherhood is supposedly an innate gift women possess, but when they are unable to bring a child into the world, they feel as if they are a failure. Most women are often scared to reveal their suffering because they do not want pity; like Jiménez, they do not want to be the woman “everyone feels sorry for” (34). Readers are thus able to empathize with and possibly relate to Jiménez’s struggle. Despite the sorrowful undertones Jiménez’s memoir beholds, hope is instilled with its happy ending. After wanting a child for nearly twenty years, on July 29th, 2009, Jiménez gave birth to a baby girl weighing nine pounds, seven ounces (164). Lesbians are supposedly unacceptable mothers, but Karleen Pendleton Jiménez is giving a new name to butch…

    The Pregnancy Project Thesis

    Gaby Rodriguez’s The Pregnancy Project is a memoir that focuses on the high rate of unexpected teen pregnancies in low income, poverty-ridden areas. Rodriguez’s personal experiences with teen pregnancies through her family inspired her to encourage a change. Her mother and her siblings each became a teen parent, and Rodriguez became a witness to the hardships and struggles faced when teens experience an unintended pregnancy, and struggle to financially support their child(ren), often due to being unable to continue their education. Rodriguez, although many - including her siblings - believe she will make the same mistakes as her family, does not want to be seen as “... just another pregnant teen statistic with no future”…

    Planned Parenthood Planning Assignment

    For my research and message planning assignment, I chose to look further into Planned Parenthood as a non-profit organization. Planned Parenthood is an organization that has been around for over 100 years, as it was founded in October of 1916. Some of the many resources that are offered at these facilities are free or cheap access to women’s reproductive health- including papsmears, mammograms, and STD checks. Other services offered are access to abortion and contraception for all women; this is where the negative perception comes into play. It’s been a long and ongoing battle with separation of church and state, but somehow the the morality issues still play such a damaging role in the perception of what Planned Parenthood is really providing.…
