Wade to prevent him from enforcing Texas abortion prohibition. Her life was not threatened by her pregnancy, so at the time she had no right to have a procedure in Texas. The District Court ruled she had the right to sue that the Texas abortion laws were vague and overboard. The case fell upon the US Supreme Court, in its ruling, the court recognized for the first time that the constitutional right to privacy is broad enough to circle a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy as of January 22, 1973. Roe vs Wade has come to be known the case that legalized abortions nationwide. Throughout centuries women have not had the right to much. Women have not had the right to vote, property rights, custody for children, educations rights or careers. The right over your own body should have been an option. There should not be a law to dictate what anyone does with their body. It is a women natural right regardless if anyone approves or disapproves to do as they please with their body. It should be illegal for a group of men sitting around a table or anyone that is not you to decide what a woman does with her body. Another point is that Personhood begins when a fetus is viable. Pro-life argues that when getting an abortion that you are committing a crime by killing the child. A fetus is considered viable when it is living outside of a women uterus. A fetus that is under 24 weeks old, is not capable of self-determination, because it has not fully developed the proper organs. The embryo is considered a person if the pregnancy has developed full term.
If abortions were banned, there would be a risk of illegal abortions. Most woman or couples who have an unplanned pregnancy are not in the right conditions to raise a child properly; Regardless of any situation, about 49% of pregnancy are unwanted, in that case people would be looking for ways to terminate the pregnancy. Before the procedure, there would be back alley abortions used with coat hangers, illegal or unregulated pharmaceutical medicines, knitting needles or a punch to the stomach. If it wasn’t legal, women would have to resort to those illegal ways and harm themselves even more.
In conclusion, abortion is not a question of morality, it is a question of providing options to prevent and mitigate risks in certain circumstances. It is the ideal method that help women and countries all over the world. Women should always have the right to do what they want with their body.
