Abolishing Abortion Abortions need to be abolished. To say an embryo is worth any less than a new born child is to be ignorant. We must speak for those whom cannot speak for themselves. One must imagine had they been aborted how many lives would be altered. To abort a fetus is to kill a child. A fetus will, hopefully, grow into a healthy baby child. That child will grow and have a life. That child could potentially grow up to change the world. To take away the opportunity of life from an unborn child is not morally right. There needs to be a severe change, thus the creation of the 28th amendment, Abolishing Abortions. The argument on whether or not abortion should be made illegal has been in place for hundreds of years. In the early 1900s abortion was made completely illegal because it was a dangerous and unhealthy procedure. It wasn't until 1973 that it became legal again in the United States due to the Supreme Court case Roe vs. Wade. Jane Roe, a single pregnant woman, objected to the Texas state law banning abortion. She claimed that it violated her 9th and 14th amendment rights. The court agreed in favor of Roe claiming that the right to privacy is a part of a woman's right to abortion, but keeping the states concerns of protecting prenatal life and keeping the mother healthy. The final decision was that there will be no regulations during the first trimester, there will be few regulations during the second trimester, depending on the health of the mother, and there will be regulations during the third trimester to promote potential life. Another court case involving abortion laws was Doe vs. Bolton in 1973. The Does were a married couple with no children. They wanted to extend on the decision made in Roe vs. Wade and make abortion legal all throughout the pregnancy. Their claim was that a women's right can't be limited to the state if the reasons were due to maternal health.
