Abortion
The constitution offers basic protection to a women’s right to choose whether to have an abortion. These rights from the first amendment grant life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, ergo to some extent women naturally have the right to choose between having or not having an abortion. One of the fiercest political battles since Roe v. Wade has fought its way into the courtroom recently that Congress should ban partial abortion unless the procedure is necessary to save the mother’s life. Congress passed the bill 64-34 banning partial birth abortion. This is a victory for pro-life protester seeing that 18 senators who usually are for abortion voted for the ban. Senate majority reader Bill Frist enjoyed the momentary victory by saying “ we have just outlawed the procedure that is barbaric, that is brutal, that is against our morals and is unethical”.

Partial-birth abortion bans violate women’s right and it is argued that it is unconstitutional, the Court ruled that women have the right to choose the safest method of abortion throughout pregnancy and that this right was violated because the ban lacked an exception for women’s health. The word abortion should be recognized for what it represents-a woman’s right to choose, it is not immoral, it is a moral decision that a woman has the right to choose to protect her family and herself. A majority of those on the issue have rejected these bans where the issue was put on ballot. The voters defeated the bans, any further attempts to adopt similar abortion bans should be seen for what they are-deceptive, extreme, and unconstitutional attempts to deny women access to abortion. In a dispute like this, should the congress have all the power to decide rather partial abortion is unconstitutional or not?
