not be legislated against. Illegal abortion is also rife with discrimination. The fourteenth
amendment prohibits states from violating an individual's rights of due process and equal
protection.. The first, fourth, ninth, and fourteenth amendments explain that each citizen

prohibited in the United States because the government has no right to interfere with a
women’s right to privacy.
Abortion has been argued against for several decades. It is considered to be the
most controversial and difficult topics in society. Abortion became illegal in the United …show more content…
Roe v. Wade caused tremendous amounts of
controversy (McBride par. 1). This case divided the nation more than any other. After
most states restricted abortion, the feminist acts of the 1960’s challenged it (Treanor pg.

Most women have abortions because of personal issues such as being victims of
rape or just simply not being equipped to care for a child. Being a victim of rape can
traumatize a woman for years, and having a child as a result can cause the psychological
trauma to become even worse (Beckwith par. 5). Some women are just not fit to

believe that having an abortion will cause you to be put to death in the afterlife. The issue
with this argument is that not every human being has the same religion. The United States

There can be lots of complications within society when dealing with abortion. The
Roe v. Wade decision caused a worldwide debate that is still dealt with on a daily basis
There are lots of different thoughts and beliefs when it comes to abortion, but the rights
