Reproductive Healthcare

Our video was based on the topic of reproductive healthcare, which involves things such as abortion, trans-rights, and more. I feel as though this is an important topic because we often see in the news that the government makes constant efforts to defund Planned Parenthood or regulate human bodies more than guns (shade). It's important to spread awareness about this topic to put an end to ridiculous laws. For this project, I interviewed Ms. Williams along with Adam. As a group, we interviewed a couple peers for the PSA as well. For this project, I wish we were able to schedule an interview with organizations such as Galaei, the Mazzoni Center, or the Attic Youth Center. These places often serve as safe spaces for queer citizens and free (or reduced) testing centers. It would've been great to have their input! The most important part about this is that it's a topic that's commonly avoided because of the intensity (it's not even that intense). People don't always know how to approach certain questions about reproductive health due to lack of exposure, so it's good to break it down in a simple-enough fashion. 
In the interview, Ms. Williams made a good point about how low-income areas in cities typically have the highest pregnancy or STD rates because of the lack of access of education or health resources. Since these areas are (as I said) low-income, it's not easy to get an abortion or medical treatment to cure any infections or diseases. Lack of education in these areas also leads to people not understanding what to do in certain situations or know who to go to. Our PSA was created to emphasize these issues and assure that our viewers become aware of them.
