Many have thought about the meaning of abortion. The argument is that every child born should be wanted, and others who believe that every child conceived should be born. This has been a controversial topic for years. Everyone in the United States is covered under the United States constitution, and under the 14th Amendment women have had the choice of abortion. "In 1973, Harry A. Blackmun wrote the majority opinion that it's a women's right to have an abortion."(factmonster.com) Even though these people have been given the right, the case is not closed. Pro-life activists carry a strong argument, and continue to push their beliefs. They feel so strongly about their beliefs that violence has broken out at some rallies. Pro-choice activists, on the other hand, also carry very strong points. They believe that the child inside a woman is their property and its life doesn't begin until birth. "In 1973, the United States Supreme Court decided that as long as the baby lived in the womb, he or she would be the property of the mother."(factmonster.com) Because of this 1in 3 babies ever conceived in the U.S. is killed by abortion. Many countries have followed the United States decision on the abortion issue. But other countries still believe abortion should be illegal, they include Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand. Although some believe that abortion is a women's choice. Abortion is the choice of a woman. Under the 14th Amendment's personal liberty women are given the right to receive an abortion. The state can't get involved in the private lives of a citizen. Without the right to choose an abortion the 14th Amendment's guarantee of liberty has little meaning for women. A man can get out of a relationship as soon as he finds out about a pregnancy. There is no question of his involvement after that, he has made his choice. It is only fair to say that women should be given the same choice. If one doesn't want to hold the responsibilities of a child than she should be able to have the choice of abortion at her disposal. Women choose to have an abortion because pregnancy and childbirth can prevent them from keeping their jobs, and feeding their family a child can determine whether a woman ever gets to start or complete her education, which will significantly influence her ability to support her family. The availability of abortion makes it possible for people not only to choose the number of children they want, but also to create the kind of family life they have always dreamed of. If a woman cannot choose to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, she is denied the right to have the type of life she wants. One of the most sacred rights of a woman is to choose, and if a woman can't do this than their most important possession is taken away. Abortion isn't only a woman's right, it's a woman's choice.
