***This may be a sensitive topic for some as it has to do with abortion***
This weeks episode ended up being almost two hours long so we've decided to break it into a two-part episode.
As we look at entertainment and the arts we continue the series on Ideological Feminism taking a closer look at 2nd wave feminism and the effects its had on our culture even today. Looking into the issues that come out of feminist thinking we see many struggles and hard things brought into our world that we live in. Again when you abandon God and morality you end up with a subjective and existential idea of how to go about life.
In Scintillating Cinema this week we take a look at the 1999 film, Cider House Rules starring Tobey Maguire, Charlize Theron, Michael Caine. In this movie one of the key themes is moralizing illegal abortions. This is the logical outcome of feminism. Women's rush to move back into the public sphere has resulted in children being abandoned in the home. Abortion is the best way to "fix" that "problem." They don't want to have to take care of kids so they decide to kill them.
Often times society tries to tell us this way of thinking is alright because women have rights over their own bodies and that the baby inside of them is not a person and therefore has no rights, making it okay to kill and abort its life. As we talk on this topic over the next couple weeks we think about what it should be like and how we've come to the place we are as a culture
