No More Babies, Documentary

The documentary No More Baby impacted me in a great way. It amazed me how such an injustice can happen in the United States. Also, how young the mothers were at the time of the surgery, and the methods that were used to get them to sign the forms. It is shocking how the innocents women signed the fertilization permission formed been lied to. It is really sad to see how immigrants families that come to the Unites States to work hard to provide their families a better future have such a heart breaking experience. The decision of having or not having kids is a personal decision. A very woman has the right to decide whether or not they want to have kids. But stealing them the possibilities to have kids is a crime that should be punished. It is sad how this immigrants’ mother came to the United States hoping to provide their kids stability. They probably came thinking that the can trust the Health Care and the country is system. They probably came thinking that their kids were going to have better opportunities by being born in The United States. Nevertheless, they encounter a different reality that, they might never have imagined. Is impacting how the victims of the sterilization were Hispanic in this case, Mexican women. Women that were greatly affected, their pain, their suffering, and their silence remains and will always remain in their hearts for years. Also, how the doctor and nurse took advantage of the most vulnerable time that these women were going through. Knowing that at the end of the day the bravery of these women of speaking up was taken for granted by the court of law made me think about how unfair things were and are.

It is hard to imagine a pregnant women about to give birth going to a hospital in the United States, trusting the caregivers and at the end finding out that they were sterile for life, and that, their dreams of having more baby was now taken away from them; Just because the U.S. Government decided to stop the expansion of Latinos and Latinas. The documentary makes me, as a Latina think about whether or not the hospital in the United States are secure, and although now they have the papers in Spanish, at the end of the day non English speaker can be manipulated by the healthcare givers. The documentary also reminded me of a Puertorican woman that I met at the hospital. She was eight-month pregnant at the time that we meet, and she told me and my sister that the doctor wanted to do a surgery on her, for her not to have more babies, and the strange things that I remember were that the doctor even said it in Spanish, “no more bebes”. She was only 25 years old, and she told him that she wanted to have more because she only had two. She also told us that
