right to privacy and ended the ban on birth control. Eight years.
later, the Supreme Court ruled the right to privacy included.
abortions. In Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court stated that it is the.
women's right to have an abortion if she so chooses. In Jan 1988.

against granting women the right to abortion are based on.
religious and moral prohibitions, defending the sanctity of human.
life. Opponents of abortion rely on the premise that the fetus.
is a human being, a person from the moment of conception. Anti-.
abortionist proclaim that they are pro-life. However, they spend.
so much time establishing that the fetus is a person and.
therefore has a right to live that they forget about mothers.
