Gaby Rodriguez Case Study

Gina grew up in inner-city Providence, Rhode Island. When she got pregnant at 19, she was still living with her parents and finishing up school. I chose to interview her because she has gone through a situation involving Planned Parenthood when she was becoming a young mother. Due to her social and economic status, she did not feel prepared to have a child at this age or provide him with the life that would be expected for him. She visited Planned Parenthood multiple times before making a final decision on whether she would terminate her pregnancy.

In addition, to avoid responsibility, “soon after [hearing of the pregnancy] the boy’s father got transferred from Tucson and the whole family moved to Oakland, California” (89). Sandi recognizes her position as a poor single mother and challenges it. By working, Sandi provides for herself and her child, subsequently defying the stereotype that are the sole men providers in a woman’s

I think that this film is informative about the different struggles women go through during their pregnancy. However, what is even more interesting is the documentary that we watch in class, The Business of Being Born (2008), and the guest speakers who tell us about their stories. The documentary included many pregnancies and birth processes, but it did not show mothers who abuse alcohol and drugs and the consequences that the children have to bear. The first time that I was exposed to women giving birth is from the documentary that we watched in class. Honestly, I was not prepare to those many births because I did think that the documentary would explicitly film women giving births.

In this case study, Liana Garcia is experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. Liana is overwhelmed at the possibility that her current boyfriend sexual assaulted her daughter. This emotional tragedy regenerated flashbacks of the sexual abuse she endured during her childhood. Liana feels ashamed and guilty about her personal traumas, and the likelihood of her child dealing/ living with this traumatic event exacerbated her PTSD into major depressive disorder and suicidal thoughts and drugs to “numb” herself of any feelings. Liana is continuously victimized by the dangerous conditions of her life and threats to her personal safety and her children 's safety. It is clear that the escalation of unhealthy coping behaviors

First, Rodriguez is unknown in America probably due to the ethnic issues at the time. For example, Clarence Avant, who is the former owner of Rodriguez 's record company in America, states that "Although he looked like he was a white guy but, even still, Rodriguez, everybody knew Rodriguez, that 's a Spanish name. A Latin name. Latin music was not happening then". Obviously, "Rodriguez" is a Mexican family name. Specifically, Sixto Diaz Rodriguez is a Mexican-American. He comes from a Mexican immigrant working class family. In early 70 's, the ethnic issue in America is still quite serious. The white ruling class controls the political situation. Although Latino populations gradually become vital parts of American society, they still face

Unplanned pregnancies have been a taboo trend all throughout history, no matter what background, culture, or class. The mother, in almost every case, is criticized by her friends, family, and peers and it is difficult to find the support she needs. Often times the mother is deemed an outcast and impure and must deal with various accusations and insults. In this kind of situation, the most important thing is to have support both emotionally and financially. This is where class is an important factor because each has its own expectations and values such as reputation and personal success.

Gaby Rodriguez spent her senior year with a fake pregnant belly on her body. She was told her entire life that she was going to end up just like the rest of her family: pregnant as a teen in high school. Defying all stereotypes, and working hard to disprove them, she used her year-long senior project to change everyone’s minds. The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez is a realistic, eye-opening story that all teenagers should read. One of the things that makes it such a good book is the rawness you feel the whole time.

The argument over a woman’s right to choose over the life of an unborn baby has been a prevalent issue in America for many years. As a birth control activist, Margaret Sanger is recognized for her devotion to the pro-choice side of the debate as she has worked to provide sex education and legalize birth control. As part of her pro-choice movement, Sanger delivered a speech at the Sixth International Neo-Malthusian and Birth Control Conference in March of 1925. This speech is called “The Children’s Era,” in which she explains how she wants the twentieth century to become the “century of the child.” Margaret Sanger uses pathos throughout her speech as she brings up many of the negative possibilities that unplanned parenthood can bring for both children and parents.

I am reminded of two sisters who found themselves in a similar situations to Jig and Sheri, with an unwanted pregnancy. The eldest of the two, in a relationship with man with the attributes of the American and the youngest with a man with the attribute of Lane Jr. The youngest decided not to have the baby because of her desire to follow her career path, as I believe Sheri did in "Good People". The Eldest chose to carry and have the baby despite the odds stacked against her, as I believe Jig did in "Hills Like White Elephants", they both were faced with a decision that would affect the remainder of their lives. The younger would wonder what it would have been like to raise and see the progression on the child she so willingly aborted and the eldest knowing that she made not only the right decision but also the best decision, to allow life to come forth because of love, which may be rocky but it is still

When a woman chooses to keep her baby, it may not be her decision; it may be her moral duty to the society influenced by her family’s pressure and religious belief. However, if she considers the broad social factors that will shape and influence her views, and that will allow her to make individual choices such as whether to keep her baby or not, she is applying what C. Wright Mills’ called the Social Imagination. James Henslin (2013) stated that C. Wright Mills’s sociological imagination gives us the ability “to understand how our personal troubles (the problems we experience) are connected to the broader conditions of our society” (p. 2). It allows us to question the “norms” and gives us the ability to see things from different perspectives

Sallie Tisdale describes an uneducated sixteen-year-old girl that doesn’t even know how babies are formed. It was not the girl’s fault for getting pregnant; she was raped (Tisdale 416). Knowing this, the audience, like the author, feels compassion for the girl. It would be unfair to the girl if she couldn’t have the abortion. The audience recognizes that although abortion is cruel, it is needed.
