Summary
This article examines the definition of civil liberties. The Supreme Court has
acknowledged again and time again that any definition of liberty must encompass the freedom to
make private choices considering one's autonomy, bodily integrity, relationships, and family
(Abortion and Liberty Rights 2021, para.1). The right to abortion is limited within that vital
spectrum, and if it were to be diminished, the Constitution's basic guarantees of liberty would
also be at risk. Roe was a historic case that established that an individual, not the government,
should decide whether to end a pre-viability pregnancy. Roe bolstered the Supreme Court's
establishment of a constitutional framework that recognizes associated liberty rights (Abortion
and Liberty Rights 2021, para.2). By emphasizing the interconnected and continuous nature of
the Court's liberty precedents, the ACLU's brief disproves Mississippi's assertion that abortion is
"untethered to the Constitution and this Court's privacy and liberty jurisprudence." (Abortion and
Liberty Rights 2021, para. 3). There are many personal rights opposed to state intervention and
there is no moral justification for doing away with that right. The association is committed to
upholding the civil rights laws and the Constitution's principles of equality and freedom.
(Abortion and Liberty Rights 2021, para.4).
Application
Civil liberties
monitor the government, and their first objective is to protect freedom.
(Krutz 2019, p. 111). On the other hand,
the civil rights
purpose is to treat public employees
equally, to avoid judgments based on their race, gender, or other characteristics. (Krutz 2019,
p.112). This article describes the definition of liberty. In this article, I completely agree with
Roe’s statement.
The right to privacy
is very important and should be applied to everyone
(Krutz 2019, p.144). The creation by the Supreme Court of a constitutional structure plans that
acknowledges rights to linked liberties, such as the freedom to marry someone of the same
gender. This article describes the abortion decision. It is referred to the Constitution and it is
under the protection of liberty guarantee in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment (Abortion and Liberty Rights 2021, para.4). Also, abortion choice is a crucial
component of the framework of rights defending people against government meddling in their
most private affairs.
Analysis
The article shows the significance of the right to civil liberties. One of the most well-
known rights is abortion choice. This article demonstrates that abortion is not inherently different
from these rights. The Court has recognized the rights to liberty, privacy, and bodily integrity as
being protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. The pro-life and pro-choice positions are outlined
and clarified in this article. Some women's choices have been abortion depending on their
financial statement. Their objective has been to become pregnant with a wanted child in another
