There are many reasons why we study William Shakespeare’s plays today. There is the insight to human nature that he knows well‚ allusions to old mythology and legends‚ and others such.

However‚ if one sees the constitutional infringement to women by the restriction of abortion; the torment to the unwanted child; and the anguish society has to sustain‚ then this topic would not be so debatable.
