There are no easy answers to this topic, but I don't think that one person has the right to dictate to another, in this case a woman, what she can or cannot do with her body. The original anti-abortion laws were written and maintained by men. Here comes a women's group saying that they have a right to control what happens with their bodies, and the Supreme Court validated that right with Roe vs. Wade. For every story where abortion seems inappropriate, there is probably a story of justification. Why do people think that reversing Roe vs. Wade will stop abortion? If you remember, women were aborting long before the decision at the risk of their health and life. If the decision is ever reversed, I imagine women will still seek out abortions.--LisaM | There are no easy answers to this topic, but I don't think that one person has the right to dictate to another, in this case a woman, what she can or cannot do with her body.

| + | Interestingly i do not usually find people who agree with me as the posts do here, more often than not its so black and white to these people and frankly i think thats the wrong way to look at it. Theres no way that abortions will ever go away, even if its outlawed, illegal abortions (as previously learned about earlier in this class) will come back again becuase once technology is leaked theres no way to eradicate it compleatly, i think that legalling only abortions in the first few weeks (as those have mentioned above me) rather than those later on in a pregnancy is probably the best course of action. --Julie | ||
