In this fourth video, “Vulnerability: An Identity Crisis,” participants are introduced to the profound vulnerability experienced by a woman who is unexpectedly pregnant. This experience of vulnerability can lead to a deep identity crisis, which can cause a woman to enter into a mode of self-preservation. This desire to preserve her self-understanding drastically affects her perception of the three options available to her— motherhood, adoption, or abortion. Without the accompaniment of someone who will receive her in her vulnerability and believe in her, she might see abortion as her only option.
