Greenleaf - They Had to Remove Your Ovaries Scene (S3E5) 

This happened to my sister when she was 19. She cried for a month. 20 years later she raised 2 kids that she adopted from foster care

Super sad considering that in this point of the series she loved kids even taught the kids Sunday School. No girl her age is thinking of becoming a mother right then but she knew she wanted to be one and that's taken from her with no other option in order to save her life.

She is such an amazing young actress who can portray any emotion. You can’t help but cry with her. 😭

I felt so bad for Sophia she didn't deserve it 😢

This scene made me cry so much. Poor Sofia

I do not even watch this show but I been seeing clips of it. When she cried so hard it broke me 🥺😢.

Oh! I don’t know this show but her acting was so good. It actually is breaking my heart for this fictitious character.

The fact that you just can't help feeling like Zora deserved it not her😭

Sofia can not win for losing this is not fair to her Sofia has done so much good and still ends up in pain

I had forgotten about this scene. She did such a great job in this scene. They had a pretty good relationship at least.

This hits home for me. I had my ovaries taken out because they weren't working right.

This scene is extra painful when it’s your life as well. 💔💔💔💔

I hate they wrote that storyline for sophia

And in the midst of all of this, Grace had to step back for a moment in order to be a Mom.

Binge watched the series last week or two weeks ago.....all the seasons, this was so painful in particular.

Poor kid, she would have started menopause at the ripe old age of 17.

This was the worst. She is such a good kid!!!!

Oh my😢

I felt so bad for sohpia it so sad

They couldn’t take her eggs and store them?

This was the last episode I watched

😢😢😢😢

I don’t watch this show, but it looks good

Soooo sad

Hi

Honestly...with how the world is today with social media and how society puts out what's "acceptable" and "normal".....I would be scared as hell to bring a new life into this world. But I get her pain. For a long time I was told the possibility of me being able to have kids was very small due to having PCOS....but 14yrs ago I wound up being blessed with my daughter. She is my one and only kid and I'm content with that. She is all I could ever want and need.

In real they wouldn't remove a both ovaries not unless it is absolutely necessary like Life Threatening but in my Case they only removed one since I had a 11lb or 4.99kg benign cyst on my right ovary due to PCOS (they found it cause I had Appendicitis I was 17) they removed the ovary cause it lost blood flow cause for 5 years my period just Stopped and never started! Other my story alot can happen to a Females body in surgery and in blood flow wasn't getting to both of them or some other reason that they doctors couldn't end up saving them then they would have nothing to do. They can't leave dead organs in a healthy alive person's body it isn't safe, sanitary, or practical so while the show did a great job of capturing the raw emotion in certain situations with anyone including Minors this can happen.

💔

i didnt like that she said "youre gonna be back to your normal self very soon"

My worst fear in life

Now if her ovaries are not working properly, does that mean she has no eggs at all? If she still has viable eggs, could someone like her elect to harvest their eggs and employ a surrogate at a later date? Just asking.

This must be hard for poor Sophia. Why did they remove her ovaries?

🙏🏾💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿☹️

This would be a dream come true for me as long as i still keep my sexual appetite.

What question is what’s her perspective on god now??

Hormones are important for a child her age! She needs them to grow and become a woman! Why would you do that to a young girl?!

I hated this for Sophia!! She's so young broke my heart 💔 did they have to take out all her eggs couldn't they just freeze them?

What happened to her to be at hospital?

I hate this happened to her she's so young I was surprised Zora wasn't pregnant or something did they have to take all her ovaries though?

What are ovaries?

Little life lesson: If you LIKE kids then you do NOT care where they come from You are welcome!

Kids are overrated

Any doctor that removes a child's ovaries should have his or her license to practice medicine snatched FOREVER!!!

This is ableism though. What is so inherently or intrinsically more valuable about having biological kids versus adopted kids? This scene mirrors societal standards when it comes to women... women's value comes down to their beauty, youth & fertility. 😢
