How to Stop Politics from Hindering Compassion for Victims

April is sexual assault awareness month.  One in four women has suffered the trauma of sexual assault by men, and society has failed women in terms of seeking justice against male perpetrators.  In addition to this, many victims struggle with an unwanted rape related pregnancy.  Polarization of politics has made the topic of abortion a Left or Right wing issue.  Rather than show compassion to a victim under pressure from the harrowing ordeal of forced conception, people are more inclined to promote their personal political views. 

The film, Natalie’s Abortion is not a Left or Right wing film.  It is not a pro-life or pro-choice film. 

Natalie’s Abortion is a film which tells the story of a woman who is forced to deal with rape, a grueling sexual assault examination, an incompetent law enforcement system, unwanted rape related pregnancy, abortion, and the unsolicited political opinions of society. The film shows the ultimate triumph of a rape survivor as she finds her own voice and takes the power back in her life.  While she is on this journey the fundamental question is put forward, “Should the seed of the wicked go forward?” 

While she is on this journey the fundamental question is put forward, “Should the seed of the wicked go forward?” 

Beyond politics the real question concerning sexual assault, rape related pregnancy, and abortion is, “Should the seed of the wicked go forward?”  I invite you to share a story of survival that can uplift everyone and shift the conversation towards justice for all women in support of survivors for sexual assault awareness month.  You can watch and share Natalie’s Abortion on Vimeo.com
