According to the court cases, undue burden means when the State tries to block the mother’s path from seeking an abortion. What actually makes something an undue burden is when the women have limited choices towards seeking an abortion and cannot abort the fetus after the 2nd or 3rd trimester. In the court case of Roe versus Wade the mother’s right goes down and the state’s interest goes up because the state has the right to protect life and prohibit abortion. If a woman wants an abortion she has to consult her doctor, whether she can or cannot, it’s mitigated. The court case of planned parenthood versus Casey counted the spousal notification as an undue burden because if the mother wants to undergo an abortion, then she has to get a consent…
Imagine being trapped in a situation in which you had absolutely no control over your own body. Imagine having to carry and birth a child that you were not ready to have. At one point in time, women had no choice but to endure their often unwanted pregnancies. The only options after the birth were adoption or raising the child. It was not until 1973, that one brave woman decided to confront the notion of legalized abortion and the right for women to choose what happens to their own bodies.…

In 1973, The United States Supreme Court ruled, by a vote of 7:2 in favor of legal abortion in the United States. Since the fateful decision of Roe vs. Wade, Abortion has ended the lives of 50 million Americans. How did we get here?

Abortion “From Roe v. Wade through 2011, nearly 53 million legal abortions were performed in the United States – an average of about 1.4 million abortions per year. At 2008 abortion rates, three in ten US women will have an abortion before age 45” (“Should Abortion” 7). Abortion is murder. For anyone to think that the beginning of life starts any time after the fusing of the woman’s egg and a male’s sperm is completely irrational. Even if life begins as a small cell, it still starts, nevertheless.…
Abortion has been a controversial issue for a very long time, with major arguments revolving around it’s been morally right or wrong. “An abortion is performed to end a pregnancy before birth occurs” (Wexler.) The two sides in the arguments about abortion are the pro-life movement, and the Pro-choice movement. The former takes a position that supports the legalization of abortion, and the latter sees no moral justification for abortion, and sees it as murder. This essay discusses the justifications as well as the limitations of the augments made by both sides.…

First of all, different society and different culture have different abortion views. Abortion is a controversial issue in many countries, especially in Western countries, both positive and negative comments are very intense controversy, mainly for moral, religious right and the female body. From moral aspect, opponents argue that the fetus's life belongs to the fetus, so others can not arbitrarily deprived of the right to life of the fetus; religion to Christianity, Islam and Judaism leading countries (Middle East, Europe and North Africa) believe that our lives are from God, so only God has the power to take our life away, rather than human beings.

Abortion is a huge problem that has caused a wide range of controversy all over the United States. There are two sides to the problem, which are people who oppose abortion or support it. Abortion becomes a big deal when trying to decide whether a fetus should be considered a human being already when a woman aborts. In my case I believe that a woman should not be able to abort a child inside her unless there is some type of serious medical issue where the child may not come out alive. When a woman aborts a child, they did not want, it is like the killing of another human being who had no say or ever did anything wrong to deserve it.…

Abortion is a serious debate in many states, but why are many politicians trying to prevent abortion from being legal in their state? Abortion is defined as the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. In the United States, it is legal to get an abortion up to the date of birth in a few states, but many women can attest to how difficult it is to actually get one, especially in the 42 states where late term abortion are illegal. A woman should not be forced to drive to another state or drive hundreds of miles to get an abortion due to the limited number of clinics and ridiculous state policies. Abortion needs to be much more readily available for women who want it and laws and regulations should be eased to allow more flexibility and availability.…
