Roe v. Wade

Roe (P), a pregnant single woman, brought a class action suit challenging the constitutionality of the Texas abortion laws. These laws made it a crime to obtain or attempt an abortion except on medical advice to save the life of the mother.
Other plaintiffs in the lawsuit included Hallford, a doctor who faced criminal prosecution for violating the state abortion laws; and the Does, a married couple with no children, who sought an injunction against enforcement of the laws on the grounds that they were unconstitutional. The defendant was county District Attorney Wade (D).
I don't agree with making abortion illegal. There maybe many reasons for why a woman will want to get an abortion. It should be there decision. This law has a lot of debates because we are not only concern about the women we are also concern about the child. What if this law was in place and a women bring a kid to this world an harms them. What if the reason for the abortion is because she was raped. I think this should be a decision for the women but to a certain time frame.

  1. I also agree with the fact that abortion should not be illegal, because sometimes it's not even the women's fault for getting pregnant, just as you stated in your paragraph (Relating to the example about rape). The child could've also been born with a very horrible disease and suffered in life, and I doubt that the mother would've wanted the child to suffer. Abortion should not be illegal due to these many reasons.
