The Battle of "Life" vs. "Choice" has Just Begun

The choices of a women are to stay with the courts

START

Abortion has been a topic that has always been talked about within our society. The converstation has a lot to do with personal beliefs, but in recent years the converstation has been more directed to the fact that health care being a human right and the impact that pregnancy actual has on a women and her body. Personally I have not had to endure this difficult decision, but personally I believe that abortion is a human right and should be left up to the mother to decied what they do with their body. We have discussioned this topic many-a-times within our class, and still I stand strong with my perspective.

PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE

roe vs. Wade

Background on Roe v Wade

Roe v. wade is a law case that took place within the U.S. Supreme Court and "Jane Roe" (also known as Norma McCorvey). She stated that a women should be allowed to chose when and if they chose to birth a child and carry it through term. This point was made to the District attourny of Dallas county( Henry Wade). The supreme went and disagreed with Roe's assertion and then saw to believe that the subject of a women's right to privacy was only okay if it did not impact the states stake in regulating abortion. Due to this contradition the Supreme Court found that there need to be a set time in which a fetuts is to far gone to be terminated. With regard to the fetus, the Court located that point at “capability of meaningful life outside the mother’s womb, or viability, which occurs at about 24 weeks of pregnancy." This was both a win and loss, because now abortions were constatutionally legalized, but states still went out of their way to make it near impossible for it to be accessbile to everyone.

The Overturning Of Roe v Wade

However, on June 24 2022 Roe v Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court. This decision was one that sent the country into chaos. This now womens rights to abortions were no longer protected by the courts and that it was state based. A multitude of states already had trigger laws placed for their state so once the ruling was offical the trigger laws were set in place. Due to that many states went from abortion being legal to it being illegal over night without any say from the people within those states. The impact of Roe v Wade also caused for fear that other rulings to be likely reconsidered such as, including established rights to contraception access, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

Why Abortions are so Important

Abortion is an essential component of women’s health care. All medical matters are said to be made by the patient yes they can be informed of the possible outcomes, but legally it is up to the patient. Abortion should be seen as the same. It is a decision in which effects the women, so it should be the decision of the women that is taken as the conculsion. We must remember that ther are so many reason for why abortions are done. A few of these examples include; contraceptive failure, barriers to contraceptive use and access, rape, incest, intimate partner violence, fetal anomalies, illness during pregnancy, and exposure to teratogenic medications. These are only a few examples for why women get abortions, there are so many more that are all valid. The fact that states are both banning abortions and contraceptives only worsen makes things worse and doesn't allow for a medically safe solution.

The Beginning Of The End

A major fear that has arose from the conversation of Roe v Wade being overeturnd is the fear of other laws being overturnd as well. This point arose from the fact that now women are losing their voice over their own body, which allows one to believe that it is likely for thm to have their voices over powered as well. The topic of relooking over the ruling of same sex relations and marriage was discussed and seems even more likely to be overturned as well after roe v wade went down. The common point in all of these rulings is that it is giving power to the courts over personal decisions. Privacy seems to be seen less as a constiutional right for all and instead a priviledge for the select few.

Abortion Avaliabilty

Even though abortions may be legal in a few states now, the accessability to these resources is one that is a major issue. Resoures such as planned parenthood are helping with this problem, however it does lead to an overflow of patients and eventually leads to being unable to help everyone who may need it. The major issue of banning abortions and making them illegal is the fact that it doesn't prevent abortions but instead prevents safe abortions. Banning abortions has lead to an influx of people coming from out of state for abortions or simply doing at home non-fda approved versions without consulting a doctor. A simply solution that is not placed creates complex problems that lead to far worse issues than the actual inclusion of legal abortions.

A study done by BMC Pregnancy and child birth state that, " Unplanned motherhood was associated with increased risk of PD at 9 months postpartum, particularly among women who felt unhappy or ambivalent at the start." PostPartum is a much hire rate in mothers who were forced to carry their child to term than those who did it out of their own will. In particular cases mothers who suffer with PD believe their only solution is to die. Rates of suicied within women who have PD are way higher than those without, due to the excessive amount of mental strain that is placed upon them .

From a 2018 report from the National Parnership for Women and Families we have found the in the United States Black women are more likely to die from prgnancy or childbirth than women in any other race group. Black women face a much higher risk to have maternal health complications. The there are hospitals that do care for majority black women, but often times these hospitals are not provided with the proper maternal care which is needed. Already the resources for black women to feel during their pregnancy was low and with the overturning of Roe v Wade, it only took away the few resources they were given.

Impacts of Forced Pregnancies

However, there are other solutions that do not involve abortions which is often said as a counter argument. One of them being putting the child up for adoption. This is a great solution (and I myself am a product of adoption) however, the number of children put up for adoption each year to how many people who can afford to adopt are sadly not equavilant. Due to that many of these children are put into the foster system. THere are about 400,000 kids in foster care in the U.S. The constant change and unkowing of where these children would end up or what their next family would be like is a highly stressful situation. The constant change in homes, environment, and people often lead to these children to either not adjust properly or have issues with their school work. If we are banning abortions because we are wanting these children to be able to have a life, then the real crime that needs to be talked about is the foster system

Another major argument pro life members make is the expensive of safe abortions and other contraseptives. However, there are a multitude of studies that show how expesive the damage of unsafe and unsuprivised abortions are in comparison. A study by the World Health Orginization states that, "[their] Estimates from 2006 show that complications of unsafe abortions cost health systems in developing countries US$ 553 million per year for post-abortion treatments. In addition, households experienced US$ 922 million in loss of income due to long-term disability related to unsafe abortion. Countries and health systems could make substantial monetary savings by providing greater access to modern contraception and quality induced abortion." The fact that those loses in money is per year when proper health care services wouldn't even be half of that expense.
