NICARAGUA: A DYING GENERATION

Quite a haunting telling. Thanks for uploading to share with our VC2 Community

This piece is impressive, moving and offers a larger global view of our search for universal human rights.
Thank you.

Interesting piece. Quite how it can be described as 'cool' escapes me. Cool that you can be arrested for considering an abortion? Or cool that you might die having an unsafe abortion? Cool that the story is being told. Well it's important yes, but sorry, cool, in any sense of the word i don't get...

it's is a interesting Piece. Well I think being arrested for Considering aborting is cool. I think abortion is wrong.

This is a balanced pod. The morality in question is not whether elective abortion is right or wrong, but whether therapeutic abortion should be banned when the life of the mother is in jeopardy. I say the law needs to be repealed.

I rATHER SAVE THE MOTHER'S LIFE. pRO CHOICE, NOT PRO SOMEONE ELSE MAKE THE DECISION FOR YOU!

To the point, well crafted and informative expose on yet another atrocious degradation of human rights on this small planet. May those 80 women RIP. Thank you for bringing a voice to an extremely underrepresented, oppressed minority. Maybe someday the Catholic Church will reassess its definition of “life” or even find its way out of influencing policy on medical issues. Where there is hope…

I don't think whether abortion is right or wrong even matters.

The fact is, it will never go away... it can only be made safe. There needs to be adequate health and sex education and safe options for women.

This is the best Underground doc yet... heartbreaking. Greenlight this and get it on tv. Media attention can lend strength to the appeal to change this heinous law. If clicking "I LIKE IT" can help spread the word, it's the least I can do.

Very interesting pod, and a saddening story. Someone commented earlier that being arrested for having an abortion is "cool" and I beg to differ. There's nothing cool about punishing these women for the hard choices they have to make. And what if it is the product of rape or molestation, why should the woman have to alter her life forever?

There is nothing cool about the fact that doctors are now forced to turn away pregnant women and not help those whom are in danger. That is wrong, not cool. The family should be able to choose, in a situation when it comes down to mother or child, whose life they want to save. This isn't picking out underwear at Victoria's Secret. These are life and death decisions that each human being should have the right to make for themselves.

I believe women should have their right to choose.

how this documentary is not #1 is beyond me...

Me parece excelente este video porque refleja exactamente la triste realidad que estamos viviendo en Nicaragua, y como la iglesia reduce su respuesta hueca y contradictoria a un "Estamos por la vida" la vida de quién? las mujeres se están muriendo. La vida de un feto que aun no ha nacido y que se va a quedar sin mama?

Creo que ya es hora que la mujer pueda ser dueña de su propio cuerpo y escoger lo que piensa que es mejor para ella. Contando con educación e información.

Quisiera agragar además a los otros comentarios, que no sólo en los países del tercer mundo existe está cegera religiosa. Es en todo el mundo, el fanatismo religioso está avanzando de forma aterradora. Y de este problema todas y todos somos culpables, no nos miren a quienes estamos en el tercer mundo como probrecitas, pero es una realidad lejana. Nooo, hagan algo desde su entorno cercano. El retroceso en derechos nos afecta a todas y todos, porque si comenzó por mi país va a ir avanzando hacia otros paises, en Latinoamérica ya está pasando.

Excellent piece. I appreciate the balance given to let the Priest give his perception of abortion. Sadly, the Catholic Church has proven to be no more noble than the mob when it comes to protecting itself. The issue of pedophilia and rampant sexual abuse was swept under the carpet and hidden for decades. They haven't earned my respect nor trust.

A short but powerful piece that reminds me why I'm proud to be an American and appreciate the separation we strive for between church and state. We aren't perfect by a long shot but the dialog and freedoms we enjoy are invaluable.

My thoughts go out to those poor people who are subject to persecution by their own government.
