Abortion
In the past two hundred years, over one million Americans have died for their country. Monuments have been built and speeches have been delivered, honoring these American heroes. America is now engaged in a war where there are no heroes, no monuments or accolades, only victims. Our society has declared war on its most helpless members, our unborn children. Since that war declared on January 22, 1973, there have been over 35 million deaths. Abortion is one of the most controversial and important subjects of this generation. Since 1975 there have been well over one million abortions a year, with a grand total as of 1996 of 35,273,792. One statistic even stated that one in four of our generation is not living because they were killed before they were born. There are even voting blocks that vote purely according to the abortion issue. Why are we allowing this? Abortion has an affect on almost all people. Most people know someone who has had an abortion. The current statistic is one out of every six women have had abortions. Just how are abortions done? Well abortions are legal in this country until the day of birth! Many people do not know this. If you tell them, they refuse to believe it. Yet, the fact remains that a woman can legall
“Article 1. The purpose of the American Baby Code should be to provide for a better distribution of babies. to assist couples who wish to prevent overproduction of offspring and thus to reduce the burden of charity and taxation for public relief and to protect society against the propagation and increase of the unfit. Article 6. No permit for parenthood shall be valid for more than one birth. Prostaglandin is a hormone that induces labor. The baby usually dies from the trauma of the delivery. However, if the baby is old enough, it will be born alive. This is called a “complication.” To prevent this, some abortionists use ultrasound to guide them as they inject a “feticide” (a drug that kills the fetus) into the unborn baby’s heart. They then administer prostaglandin and a dead baby is delivered. This type of abortion is used in mid and late term pregnancies. There have been many court battles through the years that pushed the doors of abortion open and shut, but two cases brought the legalization of abortion about, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. The following is a syllabus for these famous cases: A pregnant single woman (Roe) brought a class action challenging the constitutionality of the Texas criminal abortion laws, which proscribe procuring or attempting an abortion except on medical advice for the purpose of saving the mother's life. A licensed physician (Hallford), who had two state abortion prosecutions pending against him, was permitted to intervene. A childless married couple (the Does), the wife not being pregnant, separately attacked the laws, basing alleged injury on the future possibilities of contraceptive failure, pregnancy, unprepared ness for parenthood, and impairment of the wife's health. A three-judge District Court, which consolidated the actions, held that Roe and Hallford, and members of their classes, had standing to sue and presented justifiable controversies. Ruling that declaratory, though not injunctive, relief was warranted, the court declared the abortion statutes void as vague and over broadly infringing those plaintiffs' Ninth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The court ruled the Does' complaint not justifiable. Appellants directly appealed to this Court on the injunctive rulings, and appall cross-appealed from the District Court's grant of declaratory relief to Roe and Hallford. Held:
