Feminists seek to free themselves from perspectives that devalue women and deny them opportunities to explore their thoughts and experiences. For this reason, some feminists have joined the anti-abortion side because the issue of autonomy is not acceptable in a liberal society. According to Wolf-Devine, she argues that abortion is the response of men to deal with problems caused by unwanted pregnancy and will therefore be problematic for those trying to support feminist perspective as the moral response and that even the feminist perspective on abortion generates strong presumptions as a way of reacting towards unwanted pregnancy Moghadam 91()
The killing of an unborn baby can never be justified under any circumstance because it does not provide a solution to the situation that lead to conception. Illegalization of an abortion implies that the state is able to cherish and nurture human life. Abortion is a dehumanizing act in the society denying humans the right to live yet the innocent life together with the mother deserve better. In a state that exercises perfect democracy the distribution and use of resources should be for the benefit of the whole society and it is therefore wrong to use public revenue to perform or fund abortion. The case of Roe vs. Wade was wrongly decided as it did not have the foundations of the constitution and should therefore be corrected. It is important to note that the process of abortion also harms the mother of the unborn child since the process is crude...
In as much as we advocate for freedom, the freedom to absolute freedom cannot exist in a harmonious society. In the supreme's court decision to personalize the decision to carry out abortion is viewed as selfish response of those in authority and this does not exist in a liberal society Markowitz 63()
Conclusion
In order to promote a democratic government the people need to be knowledgeable in order to create awareness of which leaders have the interests of people at heart and which ones are selfish. During individual exercise of political liberty, we must consider policies that enhance social cohesion and avoid controversial issues that encourage divisions among people. Abortion should be illegal and governments should fund projects that see to it that the risk of situations that could lead to an individual sorting abortion as an option is lowered for example enhance child adoption and provide contraceptives. While practicing the foundations of justice and advocating for women's rights, we should not also compromise the right to life of the innocent.

12 (Rubin, 1987, p. 5) The ensuing demonstration of change in legal form is actually one of the best outlined examples of the way in which the evolving and almost living form of the legal and legislative system in the U.S. works. Each ensuing challenge must follow the line of the original legal stand of Roe to either further restrict or unequivocally uphold the Roe ruling. Yet, the ensuing change
There is no need to try the case again. Before Roe vs. Wade, when abortion was illegal, hundreds of young women died every year due to botched illegal abortions. Many also traveled over the border into Mexico for unsafe and unsanitary abortions in that country. Illegal abortions are dangerous and can be deadly, and the country would return to that practice if the court's judgment were altered. In addition, states
While I do believe a woman should have the right to choose, I am not necessarily convinced of that the Ninth and the Fourteenth Amendment allow for a so-called right to privacy to support the creation of a right in this instance. Admittedly, I am not a legal scholar, so to disagree with Justice Blackmun seems a bit of a stretch; however, what he did in Roe v. Wade was
Presidential elections in the U.S.A. The United States Presidential election that was held on 6th November, 2012 was the 57th in the United States history. Such elections are held after every four years. The Democratic Party nominee was President Barack Obama while his running mate was Vice-President Joseph Biden. Both were re-elected for a second term in office. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan were President
(Brownmiller 470) Hemorrhaging blood, Brownmiller was afraid -- but her fear did not make her question her choice. Of course, pro-life activists like Dew would argue that no matter how desperately women might want abortions, they have no right to end another human being's life, regardless of their circumstances. But Dew's line of argumentation raises serious questions about the ethics of forcing another human being to subject their bodies to
Why Abortion Should be AbolishedIntroductionAbortion is legalized infanticide. It is the legal practice of murdering a child growing in the mother�s womb. It has been justified on the grounds that a woman has a right to choose whether she wants to nurture the life that has been conceived inside her. The issue is debated because it is controversial; however, the two sides of the debate do not see the issue
