First we will talk about abortion, next LGBT+'s laws and the capitole.

As she said, we will talk about abortion, in real life,in some states abortion is illegal so women have to move in another state to have the right of abortion. The common point is that they disagree with that law, so there are a lot of manifestations. Women can't choose for their body anymore. In the series there are abortion center, they want to scare women by saying ''it's dangerous''. Moreover if women have a abortion, a criminal record is open about that.

In the series, some characters are homosexal. But a relationship with someone who has the same sexe as us is illegal; and they can be killed for that.
In real life, in the souft state like Texas, the LGBT+'s rights are restricted. Even if it's legal, some people don't accept the fact that some people are LGBT+.
But in others state, like New-York, they have laws to protect them and give access to discussion about sexuality and identity. The lawer Clarence Thomas, call to reconcider rights for LGBT+.

In the report, we can see that in real life, people stormed the capitole because of Donald Trump. After the election of Joe Biden, he got angry and pushed people to destroy the capitole, it took place in 2021.
The common point is that people are machine-gunned by men who have guns. So In the serie people are afraid to be killed.]]> 2022-12-08 15:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/q_larbere/msdfuffhb30o5q1w/wish/2414465706 I invented Gilead. The supreme court is making it real https://padlet.com/q_larbere/msdfuffhb30o5q1w/wish/2414631100 this document is a interview of margaret atwood, it was published the may 13 2022 in the atlantic by adam Maida. he interviewed the author of the handmaid's tail about the overturning of roe v wade. this judgement made the abortion legal in all the american states. now they have forbide the abortion.

Margaret Atwood taked a critical tone to express the fact that she is scandalised by situation in america for abortion and she is worried about the future of the america. she is also worried that the united states became a theocratic dictatorship. its mean that the gouvernment is control by religious people.

In the third document she said that the first amendment that it is written "congress shall make no law respecting an establishement of religion" and that the writters wished to avoid the deathtrap of a murderous religious war.

At the eights paragraphe she said that in the 17th century, we could be sent in a trial bacause a man reported us for supposedly doing sinister things to a cow. she compare that to the people who denounce woman for doing an abortion in aother states]]> 2022-12-08 17:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/q_larbere/msdfuffhb30o5q1w/wish/2414631100 Margaret Atwood protests book banning with fireproof copy of the handmaid’s tale  https://padlet.com/q_larbere/msdfuffhb30o5q1w/wish/2414816842  
In the first document, written by Elaine Velie, on may 25, 2022, it’s talk about the Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. The Handmaid’s tale paints the picture of a pratriarcal totalitarian society in wich women are relegated to the roles of obedient wives or sex slaves. 

Some books are banned when they are forbidden in some schools, library, … It’s the seven banned book in the USA, in 2022. The book is a symbol for pro-choice (a movement for abortion). After seeing her book being among the most banned book in the USA, M. Atwood decides to collaborate with the Gas Company to create a symbolic version of her book with aluminum pages, that burn only at 1220 degrees F. She did that to protect the book’s freedom of speech. She was supported by PEN AMERICA, a association that protects freedom of speech and fight censorship. 

We can link the 2 documents, because Suzanne Nosel (CEO of PEN AMERICA), said that the number of banned books has grown in one year with 156 reports in 2020 and 330 reports in 2021. She said that the most banned books were about people of color, sex, LGBTQ and justice because it’s judged “not traditional” for them. It echos the Handmaid’s Tale because what happened in the book like inequality of sexe or censor of expression, it is going to happen in the real life.

Texas has an important and legitimate interest in protecting potential life and may limit access to abortion in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters 
Some lawyers said that it's a violation of the right to privacy and in the Connecticut law they found an appeal to the 1st, 4th, 9th and 14th amendment in order to defend abortion 
People were divided and other people said the right to abortion wasn't in the constitution and that the fœtus's rights should be protected as well 
Then the Supreme Court ruled that each women has the autonomy over their pregnancy during the 1st trimester of the baby growth and all states have an important and legitimate interest in protecting potential life and may limit access to abortion in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters 
Roe v Wade name origins came from a case that began when Jane Roe (fictional name used to protect the identity of Norma McCorvey) instituted a federal action against Henry Wade (lawyer)
This case helped to value the abortion in the US

The 1st doc is a map with all American states if the law was declared, it's like a forecast
We can see that half states are against abortion 

The 2nd doc is the same map but nowadays in which we can see that abortion is illegal in 11 states however it's legal in 75-80% of American states]]> 2022-12-11 19:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/q_larbere/msdfuffhb30o5q1w/wish/2416990177
