Mon corps, mon choix, mon droit

花些时间去了解女性所处的处境,给予她们充分的尊重,并约束自己的行为,不要伤害她们。

法国将堕胎权写入宪法

  法国国会在2024年3月4日于凡尔赛宫通过一项修宪案,将堕胎自由写入宪法,法国成为全球首个堕胎权入宪的国家。我不知道其背后有何政治考量,也不明白法学上会有何争议,但我想分享两部电影:《L'événement》和《Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always》。前者正是一部法国电影,在2021年9月6日第78届威尼斯电影节正式竞赛举行全球首映,并夺得金狮奖;后者于2020年1月24日在圣丹斯电影节全球首映,之后入选第70届柏林电影节金熊奖主竞赛单元,最终获得评审团大奖银熊奖。

L'événement

background: Annie, a bright young student, is facing an unwanted pregnancy in 1960s France, when abortion is still illegal. --from Letterboxd

In the following, I will present several important dialogues from the story, including those with two doctors, the teacher, the friend, and the child's father.

the first time to see a doctor:

the second time to see a doctor(not the first, another one):

meeting the father of the child for the first time after pregnancy:

a friend found a way for "surgery":

first "surgery":

to see the teacher after the first "surgery" (grades dropped because of pregnancy):

second "surgery":

return to the dormitory after the second "surgery".

有一天我会要个孩子的,但不是以我整个人生为代价,那样的话我会狠那个孩子一辈子的,我可能永远都不会爱他。

一种只会攻击女人的病,把她们变成家庭主妇的病。

Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always

background: A pair of teenage girls in rural Pennsylvania travel to New York City to seek out medical help after an unintended pregnancy. -- from Letterboxd

some questiones you might ask:

Is abortion allowed in the United States?
Due to the victory of Roe v. Wade, the United States allows women to have abortions if certain conditions are met, and the specific laws vary from state to state. But the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion in 2022.
And the film's premiere is January 24, 2020 at Sundance Film Festival.

Why Autumn needs to go from Pennsylvania to New York?
New York, where a minor doesn't need parental permission to obtain an abortion, unlike in her home state.

影片中有三个场景让我触动:
第一个是Autumn在做检查时,镜头从医院的病房内慢慢切换到无垠的蓝天;
第二个是Autumn与顾问Kelly的对话,也是影片片名Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always的出处;
第三个是Autumn的表姐Skylar为了筹钱,不惜将自己的身体出卖给旅途中搭讪的一个男人。

In the following, I will show what happened in the three scenes I mentioned, as well as some other scenes.

first singing:

conversation with cousin Skylar:

hospital in Pennsylvania:

search on Google and beat herself in the stomach:

hospital in Brooklyn, New York:


conversation with Kelly in Manhattan, New York:






second singing:

the night before "surgery":


"sugery":

Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always

一些想法

两个国家,一个法国,一个美国;
两个时间,一个1960s, 一个2020s;
不同的女性,相似的处境。

花些时间去了解女性所处的处境,给予她们充分的尊重,并约束自己的行为,不要伤害她们。
