“How can the “Dream” survive if we murder children? Every aborted baby is like a slave in the womb of his or her mother. The mother decides his or her fate” (Martin Luther King, Jr).

Planned parenthood V Casey: An abortion law required informed consent as well as a 24 hour waiting period prior to any abortion procedure in Pennsylvania. Any married woman had to state that her husband was in fact knowledgeable of this intention. Additionally, any minor seeking an abortion requires the consent of a parent. These laws were challenged by many clinics specializing in abortion, as well as many doctors. An appellate court upheld all of these stipulations with the exclusion of the married woman.

provisions in an attempt to make a woman’s decision for an abortion a more thought out

Abortion is a subject that numerous people have strong opinions about; some believe that it is a form of murder and should be banned, yet others believe that the decision should be for the woman herself to make. In my eyes, the choice to abort or not abort is the woman’s, not the public’s. However, many men disagree with pro-choice.

Facts: 1. The state of Pennsylvania amended their abortion laws in 1988 and 1989. These five new provisions changed abortion rights and the rules behind it. These new provisions included an 24 hour waiting time before the procedure, consent from a parent of a minor, medical emergency situations, reporting requirements from facilities providing abortions and notification to the father of the fetus about the abortion. 2. The plaintiffs included five abortion clinics, a class of physicians that facilitated abortion services and one physician representing himself independently. The plaintiffs filed against the state, enforcing that these new provisions were unconstitutional.

It was 19 years later when Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania V. Robert P. Casey, another abortion case, was brought to the Supreme Court. Prior to the Casey ruling, states had the power to regulate abortions only in the third trimester. Often times, states who opposed the ruling in Roe would create additional laws as to make it more difficult to get an abortion. One of these states, Pennsylvania, formed the Abortion Control Act, requiring “an “informed consent” provision requiring, at least 24 hours in advance, the physician performing the abortion to inform the pregnant woman of alternatives to abortion; the risks associated with the procedure; the estimated gestational age of the child at the time of the procedure; the possible availability of state economic assistance for prenatal care, childbirth and neonatal care.” Women also needed a ‘“spousal notification,” requiring women to give prior notice to their husbands. In Casey, the aspects pertaining to spousal notification of the Abortion Control Act were ruled as unlawful. Having the purpose or effect of placing a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a fetus that is not yet viable is an undue burden on the women. Restrictions can be placed on

“2016 is the year of realizing things” -Kylie Jenner; as election day approaches the US people have a major task upon them, choosing between Mrs.Clinton or Mr.Trump. Both candidates have their pros and cons, mostly cons but one will become president. And both have really different thoughts on all controversial topics. Abortions are a big issue among women in the US. Most conservative states/people believe that it should be banned and illegal in the US, while liberal states believe that women have a right to their bodies and can decide on what to do if in situation.

In the research of the federal abortion policy overview it is stated and it’s in the process to be confirmed, “In the United States, the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision made abortion legal in every state in 1973.” They stated there pros and cons of abortion and giving why it’s right to get an abortion to a child that is growing in a women’s womb. I disagree with this policy because a life is being taken away without giving a chance to live.

Abortion is one of the most controversial issues in the world nowadays. Currently, abortion is legal in America, and many people believe that it should remain legal. These people, pro-choice activists, say that it is the women's right whether or not to have a child. However, there are many groups who are lobbying the Congress to pass laws that would make abortion illegal. These people are called the pro-life activists.

In the 45th Federalist Papers, James Madison wrote, “the powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and indefinite.” In 1973, the Roe v. Wade ruling legalized abortion based on the constitutional right to privacy. This ruling declared abortion a right protected by the federal government as dictated by the Supremacy clause in Article VI of the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court's assertion of unlimited access to abortion as a federal concern violates states’ rights as it was wrongfully justified. Evidence offered by the fourteenth amendment, various court cases pertaining to abortion, and several philosophical arguments from renowned professors support the shift of the decision from federal to state power. Medical necessity is the only exception in which an individual should be granted unrestricted access to abortion.

Abortion laws are an incredibly controversial topic, consistently making their way into the minds of many people, including some who would not usually be concerned with such an issue. A human life is the most precious and important thing there is. The thought of destroying the chance for an unborn human to live its life is one that is most often than not seen as very negative. What most people do not understand, however, is that there are a lot of misconceptions about abortion laws and the way that they are made. Because of a lack of scientific support in regards to when an unborn fetus becomes a person, lawmakers tend to make hasty decisions based purely on religious beliefs or emotional connections. They use their personal opinions and experience

Targeted regulation of abortion providers (TRAP) bills single out abortion clinics and providers and subject them to regulations that are more stringent than those applied to medical clinics generally. Unlike many restrictions intended to delay or influence a pregnant woman’s decision to obtain an abortion in the name of protecting a state’s interest in potential life, TRAP laws seek to eliminate

Abortion was still causing problems after ten years have gone by of the Roe v. Wade case decision. Abortion has two types of groups pro-life, and pro-choice. The pro-life group feels women shouldn’t have an abortion; whereas pro-choice believes the women herself have the right to decide if she wants an abortion (Brannen et al 788). In 1982 the Pennsylvania Abortion control Act stated that “women must wait twenty-four hours before having an abortion, parental consent of a minor, notify the spouse if the woman is married, informed consent rule, and to report abortion facilities (Robertson 24). Planned Parenthood of Pennsylvania noticed that the provisions were unconstitutional of the court ruling in Roe v. wade so they sued the governor of Pennsylvania. The state of Pennsylvania felt that it was acceptable to terminate a life and was all for abortion. Whereas, planned parenthood felt that women should have a choice about abortion. In this case there were doctors and different clinics that felt the state was
