The idea of Goffman's front can be applied not only to abortion clinics but also to how families react to alcoholism by understanding the concept of managing impressions. In the context of abortion clinics, the front refers to the way in which staff and patients present themselves to maintain a certain image and manage the stigma associated with abortion. Similarly, families dealing with alcoholism may also engage in impression management to uphold a certain image to the outside world, while also dealing with the internal struggles and stigma associated with alcoholism.

Families may create a front that portrays a happy and functional image to the outside world, while internally dealing with the challenges and impact of alcoholism on their family dynamics. This can involve hiding the issue from others, minimizing the severity of the problem, or even enabling the behavior of the alcoholic family member in order to maintain the appearance of normalcy.

Furthermore, just as staff and patients at abortion clinics may engage in teamwork to maintain the front, families dealing with alcoholism may also collaborate to uphold a certain image and manage the impact of alcoholism on their family dynamics. This can involve presenting a united front to outsiders, while internally struggling with the effects of alcoholism on their relationships and well-being.

Overall, the concept of Goffman's front can be applied to both abortion clinics and families dealing with alcoholism by understanding how individuals and groups manage impressions to navigate societal expectations and stigma. It highlights the complexities of managing public perceptions while dealing with internal struggles and challenges.
