Your Own Argument

I absolutely agree with the final ruling of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court case. It was blatantly obvious that women’s rights were being taken away by the State. The reason that this case has been argued over and over for years is because of religious beliefs and where the line between murder and prevention lay. If there was a black and white statement of what we should do in life then decisions would be simple and sweet. It’s not always the case, clearly on this topic.

I agree partially with what the dissenting Justices' had to say. I agree that liberty had something to do with this subject. I believe that a womans right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness is all we have in this world sometimes, and that those laws must be held to the highest respect. If we as a people decide to step back and allow our own beliefs of what is right and good and true be what is right and good and true for all people then we would be a bunch of dictators. There would be choas and anarchy. Our whole world as American citizens is based on the fact that we can say, do, feel, express, and believe anything that we want to. No one can say no to us. We can live our lives day by day doing the things we want to as long as no one is harmed or forced into that situation. But by not granting women to have an abortion is doing just that. We are forcing people with our now previous laws to be harmed mentally and physically when they do not want to be. Why would we want to harm our own citizens?

We must not, as a people, decide for others something so vital and so extreme in it's essence. Having a child is life altering, completely and entirely. What the dissenting judges believed is that this whole thing is a big cop out. They are claiming that this has nothing to do with privacy. But what is more private then a mother and her child? What is more important and special then if a women should or should not bring another life into this world?

Throughout the entire world we have starving people. Men, women, and children are on the streets or six feet under because of over population, and bad governements. There are wonderful people who would rather not bring another life into this world, but to care for ones who are already here. There are women who have been raped repeatedly. Who are we to decide that she must have that child? It's outrageous, and it is not my decision. I refuse to decide for another person something so private as that.
