Her response to controversial remarks about women’s roles in reproductive health highlights a larger societal issue which deserves attention.
What did Elaine say?
Elaine’s response was a series heartfelt Instagram postings. She was outraged by a statement that reduced women to being mere childbearers.

Women are SO MUCH MORE than their ability give birth. Vile.”

In her second post, Elaine acknowledged the support she received and stressed the importance of speaking up against such reductive views.

Jennifer Aniston, an actress of high profile, was among those who took notice. Aniston criticized the clip and expressed disbelief at the views of a possible VP in the United States. All I can tell you is… Mr. Vance I hope that one day your daughter will be able to have children of her very own.
What Does This Say about Society?
