Roe v Wade

      The key deliberated article of the US Constitution is the fourteenth amendment which states:

“ All person born or naturalized in the united states, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No States shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizen of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within it's jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.

      Abortion as we all know is a very controversial issue due to religious, cultural and political reasons. It has even been referred to as a “common law crime.” In 1973 abortion was prohibited in 30 States. However, it was legal in limited circumstances such as rape and incest, in 20 other States. That same year, the supreme court in Roe v Wade, deemed abortion as a fundamental rights under the US Constitution. The courts ruled 7-2 that a right to privacy under Due Process Clause of the 14^th amendment where, it's a woman's right as to whether or not she choose to bring fourth life into the world.

     Though a State cannot completely deny a woman the right to terminate a pregnancy, it has legitimate interest in protecting both the pregnant woman health and the potentiality of human life at various stages/trimester of pregnancy. In a first trimester abortion the decision to terminate the pregnancy, is based solely on the mother and physician. Second trimeter the State promotes their interest in the well being of the mother by regulating abortion procedure base on the mother's health. In the third trimester the State promote their interest on the potentiality of human life by regulating or even prohibiting abortion, except to save the life or health of the mother.

      As a woman, I believe bringing life into this world is considered a blessing. I personally don't agree in abortion unless the mother or child health is in danger. Whether it be first, second or third trimester it is still considered a life. With that being said, who am I to judge another woman who chooses not to be a mother. It's their body and their right to do as they please.  

     Furthermore, I am not going to be hypocritical and argue the point of contraceptive because as human being we all make mistakes.

Realistically speaking, everyone isn't cut from the same piece of cloth. Not every woman has that naturing motherly skills. Why should a woman be forced to have a baby that she is unwilling to care and provide for. Another child would be placed in a cold world and into a broken home, no parents, no family or love.
