The Pros And Cons Of Roe V. Wade

“We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable right Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (The Declaration of Independence). But unfortunately, the most vulnerable of our society does not have a say in whether or not those rights are exercised. The population I am referred to is the unborn population. The desire for woman right to choose, effectively place the unborn child at a legal disadvantage. Roe vs. Wade gave a voice to women but one wonders what the true language of the U.S Declaration of Independence? Was the right to life just a phrase, or an actual given right to be observed and protected by the courts? If that is the case and we do intend to apply rights to all citizens, then it can be suggested that Roe vs. Wade is in direct contradiction of that
right.
The case for Roe v Wade originated in the Texas courts, it was a case brought forth to challenge the longstanding practices that the states had the right to place burden on a woman’s reproductive
choices. In a 7-2 majority vote in favor, the court stated that the reproductive rights at issue in this case is a fundamental right of the individual and no state has the right to infringe on such a matter.
