Paper Introduction: An Argument Against Abortion Rights The United States Supreme Court ruled in the case ofRoe v Wade U S that women seeking an abortion had theright to do so legally under a penumbra of privacy rights implicit in theDue Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U S Constitution Hall Today American women are legally entitled to obtain anabortion during the first trimester of a pregnancy without restrictions In the second trimester states can regulate access to abortion and in thethird Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.

From the perspective of those whoreject abortion on moral and ethical grounds, it is absurd to state thatthe fetus "takes on" rights only after a certain period of development inthe woman's womb. Works CitedHall, Kermit L. Available at www.nrlc.org.Ponnuru, Ramesh. "Statement on Abortion." 2 2. Anything less than fullrecognition of these inherent rights calls for a distinction between therights of one group and another - thus functioning in a discriminatorymanner. Thesedecisions may reflect in part, the complex positions held by Americans(including politicians and judges) on abortion (Ponnuru, 1). The National Right to lifeCommittee, along with other groups opposed to abortion, holds thatabortion, under virtually any and all circumstance, is little more thanlegalized murder of the unborn. Oxford: OxfordNational Right to Life Committee. House of Representatives and supported by President Bush - will diebecause of obstructionism by the leaders of Senate Democrats." Thisorganization also maintains that in Congress, the Democraticrepresentatives and senators tend to be profoundly hostile to pro-lifepositions whereas the majority of Republican members of Congress aresupportive of pro-life positions.Pro-Life forces have also suggested that abortion-on-demand facilitatespromiscuity among both adults and adolescents, clearly an undesirablechange in light of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Today, American women are legally entitled to obtain anabortion during the first trimester of a pregnancy without restrictions.In the second trimester, states can regulate access to abortion and in thethird trimester states can prevent abortion because of their "vestedinterest" in protecting the potential life of the fetus (Hall, 74 ). The debateover "choice" and, perhaps more significantly, relative "rights," remainscontroversial and emotionally charged. Further, the Pro-Life groups argue thatabortion rights are discriminatory in that they favor the rights of a womanover the rights of the unborn; many such groups are particularly concernedthat women are likely to use abortion as a form of contraception to avoid apregnancy that could have been prevented through proper self-care orabstinence. There is some evidence, however,which suggests that because of ready access to birth control informationand devices, as well as changes in cultural norms and mores, that both maleand female adolescents are engaging in sexual intercourse at increasinglyearlier ages than past generations. An Argument Against Abortion Rights The United States Supreme Court ruled in the case ofRoe v. Constitution(Hall, 74 ). Inthis essay, it will be argued that the "right" to an abortion, regardlessof its timing, should be re-examined by the courts and statute protectingthis right over the rights of the unborn should be overturned. Abortion, therefore, should be illegal. (Ed.) The Oxford Companion to the Supreme Court of the United States. Hall (741) pointed out that what the courts and politicians andphysicians have failed to do is directly address the important issue ofwhen a fetus assumes rights associated with personhood - except in the caseof limiting third trimester abortions. 133 [1973]) that women seeking an abortion had theright to do so legally under a "penumbra" of privacy rights implicit in theDue Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. The National Right to Life Committee (1) makes its political agendaclear in the following statement: "When adjournment occurs, it appearsthat an unprecedented number of major pro-life bills already passed by theU.S. The view that a fetus is a person from the moment ofconception on calls for recognition that it is endowed with rights equal tothose of the pregnant woman from this point on. "Cells, Fetuses and Logic: Who is Being Sentimental, Who Rational, In This Debate?" National Review, 2 1, 53 (14), pp. 1 -2. From a social perspective, Ponnuru (1) believes that the mostprofound change in the effects of Court decisions on abortion rights since1973 revolve around a new emphasis on the protection of the rights of theunborn rather than the privacy rights of the pregnant woman. Wade (41 U.S. The National Right to Life Committee (1) is an anti-abortionorganization that takes a position on abortion rights that is diametricallyopposed to that taken by both Planned Parenthood and the National Abortionand Reproductive Rights Action League.
