Whose Right Is It?

4/23/2019

Read the article and watch the clip above, then come back over here and tell me what you think about this current issue. Not from an ethical or moral standpoint, but from a legal standpoint. Does the government have the right to impose interference on personal choices that women make?

I also want to know your opinion on "trigger laws" and whether you believe this is just another "strong arming" method also imposed by the government. What's the point? What will be the consequences if the law is overturned? Again, I want to know what you think, not from an ethical or a moral standpoint, but from a legal standpoint.

I believe that the government has no say so on if a woman has a child or not. If the mom has intentions on aborting that means they have no urge to parent in that moment. If a woman doesn't want to have a baby, they're not going to have it.

Z Holmes Pd 3

4/25/2019 11:40:18 pm

Nobody's commented yet so i'll respond to myself. I agree Zy, also, adoption agency's are going to, over time, over populate because there will be many people giving up their babies. you would also be forcing depression and vulnerability on women who are already trying to overcome every other disadvantage given to them already

Z Holmes Pd 3

4/25/2019 11:42:07 pm

exactly! the government needs to weigh every option and outcome given. What is the real reason to doing this? What is the point in giving women who aren't ready to be mother's, a new living baby? Those children don't deserve a mother who doesn't want them. It would be making a generation of self hated children.

L.Allen 2nd period

4/26/2019 09:25:18 pm

I disagree, because I don't understand why women would want to kill their child for the unpreparedness or fear of how they go take of their child. And even if the mother do have a abortion it does not make them un-pregnant it just makes you a mother of a dead baby which is heartbreaking.

M. Chavez 2nd pd.

I agree, women do not abort to simply, "take a life," they abort because they are not ready, OR there are other justified circumstances.

I agree if a women isn’t ready she shouldn’t be forced to have it

D Jones 3rd

5/16/2019 10:44:24 am

I disagree because if she is unprepared then its just going to be a bad outcome anyway. The baby wouldn't get what it needed if she didnt want it.

M. Sanchez 6thpd.

4/26/2019 04:38:30 pm

Exactly, they should never have to explain this to a man who probably will leave her to watch the child by herself. If a women feels they are not ready then thats all there is to it.

4/26/2019 08:16:42 pm

Now I do agree with that but if you know your not ready do put yourself in that situation. (if you have the choice to)

I agree with you no woman is going to do anything they have no desire in doing and that's including raising a child. If they ban abortions its going to be chaos due to the lack of parenting and full foster homes.

This is definitely understanding knowing that some woman aren’t ready to be mothers.

R. Leal 2nd

4/26/2019 11:17:21 pm

I agree, a woman will have a baby when they feel that they are ready. It is her body and she should be the only one who has a say about it.

I totally agree with you. Wouldn’t you rather let go of the child than not properly take care of it. But people don’t do that anymore.

D Jones 3rd

5/16/2019 10:47:16 am

I agree with this because you cant make somebody keep something they don't want. Its just not fair to say she has to keep it if SHE is the one who is taking care of it it's whole life.

M. Mason 1st

4/26/2019 07:31:11 am

It’s sad how the government think they can add their two cents on what a woman should do with her body. They don’t understand the situation as to why a woman wants to have an abortion. It’s obvious they don’t care. Women have their reasons as to why they would give their child away. The way the government works is ridiculous.

J. Griffith 2nd

4/26/2019 08:42:26 am

I agree because a woman should be able to do whatever she wants with her body. If she wants to get an abortion or not is her choice and her’s alone.

M. Chavez 2nd pd.

4/26/2019 10:23:09 am

Right, majority of the government are white, conservative men, who don't have a uterus or ovaries. Unless they are the parent of that unborn fetus they shouldn't have a single say in if the fetus should be aborted or not.

K Eagans 3rd

4/26/2019 04:12:44 pm

I couldn’t agree more. The government is extremely insensitive. It’s funny how the government is complains about how full America is and they want to keep immigrants out but in the same breath criminalizing abortion. The government is getting more and more inconsiderate by the day.

T.Falls 6th

4/26/2019 09:41:35 pm

I don’t think that a immigrant and a unborn child can be compared to each other simply because one is already alive while one is in the making.

D.Gadson 6th

4/26/2019 05:46:11 pm

That’s right , the government don’t know woman reasoning behind abortions, so therefore they shouldn’t be obligated to call shots on anyone decision.

I agree. The government should stay in their own lane . The governments purpose is to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and prosperity.'' With that being said, it looks as though they're contradicting themselves when they threaten to rule out abortions. A decision that could give someone a feeling of liberty .

T.Tate 8th

4/26/2019 10:03:10 pm

I agree, most of the time those women have valid reasons on why they are having a abortion.So I don’t think it’s right for the government to have a say so on what someone decide to do.

I agree overall, but... at what point do we care for a beating heart? Making abortion illegal in general should not happen but late term and fully developed humans should have their shot at their already happening life.

It is crazy, that America is trying to control women. To be honest, the government is trying to look like a Christian country. With all honesty, they don’t, because it is the highway and the highway, has power. I think women should she would pay for it. Lastly, this is ridiculous.

J. Griffith 2nd

4/26/2019 08:40:19 am

The government shouldn’t have the right to say what a woman can and can’t do. What ever she decides to do is her right. There’s nothing saying that a woman has to abide by rules placed by the government. She should be able to be herself. A woman has a right to freedom as much as everyone else.

S. Lara 6th pd.

4/26/2019 11:04:36 am

I agree, a woman should have freedom and privacy to do what she wants to do with her body. It not only affects the fetus, but her future, the baby's future, and even her health.

K.phillips

4/26/2019 04:05:18 pm

Disagree . The government should have a input because it wrong y’all out here ok with people killing kids .

K Eagans 3rd

4/26/2019 04:08:56 pm

I agree. For one it’s ridiculous that the government is trying to put these laws on women but not on men. Women are the ones who have to actually carry the baby, not a man. They don’t know what having a baby feels like. So for them to make a law criminalizing abortion shows the governments true colors.

M. Sanchez 6thpd.

4/26/2019 04:43:43 pm

The government seems to think they know what is right for everyone but itself. If for whatever reason the other eight states decided to pass these laws then they should also pass a law for the men to hold up there end. Its unfair for someone to have to be forced to mother a child for both of them. No one wants to grow up with a mother that only had them because she was unable to abort without becoming a felon.

marqueshia richardson

4/26/2019 05:29:01 pm

i don't agree the government should tell them what to do with their body but i think that there should be a bann for abortion i don't really know how to explain it though.

L.Allen 2nd period

4/26/2019 09:33:31 pm

I disagree, because someone's else life should not be terminated because it interferes with yours as a mother.

Aleman. F 8th

4/26/2019 10:03:48 pm

Morally you think it's not okay for women to have abortions, which is fine. However, legally America is already overpopulated, and where are you going to put all the kids that the mothers do not want to keep. And it's not just because of overpopulation, the government wanting to get rid of abortions affects women's right. For women, being able to have the choice of getting an abortion or not is their right because it's their body and being told that you don't have the choice to pick, you just can't do is taking away a woman's rights.

Jordan b

4/26/2019 08:12:52 pm

Now I partially agree with you because for me it just depends on the situation. For instance if a woman just want to have an abortion just because than that's unfair and cruel but if it was because if it was a forced situation than I totally understand.

Aleman. F 8th

4/26/2019 10:10:21 pm

It doesn't matter why the mother wanted to have an abortion. Why bring a child into his world that you can not take care of yourself?

S. Sanders- 1st Period

4/26/2019 11:43:18 pm

I agree it shouldn’t be the government decision. Now the government has some resources in place that helps a woman with her child birth but ultimately the government to no take care of the child so shouldn’t dictate whether one should abort. The land laws are to kept. This make me think about lethal weapon to put to death.

Chancellor I. 8th period

4/26/2019 11:59:28 pm

In agreement, the government should not have a say on this matter. Only women should decide on decisions affecting them. Women need more representation in government, to stop men from making these crazy decisions. With all honesty, it is sad women can’t be themselves. Lastly, that is why the government is wrong, because they are afflicting on women’s constitutional rights.

M. Chavez 2nd pd.

4/26/2019 10:37:23 am

A woman's body is her temple, she should be able to do what she wants with it. As I stated earlier in a comment, a woman will not have an abortion simply to take a life, let alone her own child's life, she will do it because of her own circumstances. All of these old, conservative, white men in the government saying that it's "murder," are not the father of that unborn fetus, NOR plan to adopt any of the 443,000 children in foster care. They should not have a single say in the debate of laws against abortion, women and women only should be debating. Making laws against abortion, getting rid of planned parenthood, and etc., only promotes unsafe means of aborting the fetus, preventing pregnancies, and STD's.
I do agree though, that there should be a cut off point to abort, when the fetus begins to develop significantly and grow limbs/organs. But to make abortion illegal altogether is simply showing the lack of care the government has for the women of it's nation.

S. Lara 6th period

4/26/2019 11:22:13 am

I agree, no women would just want to kill her baby there are reason why many go through the difficult and heart breaking process. In addition people are not educated about places such as planned parent hood. They do help with abortions however help with a women's health in general.

S. Lara 6th pd.

4/26/2019 11:02:12 am

They should not have say in what a woman does with her body. If a man urges a woman to keep a baby, they should be required to be there all 18 years of the child's life.

Hollywood, M. 2nd

4/26/2019 09:34:10 pm

I agree! If you enforce abortion laws then enforce that fathers or mothers be in the child’s life for the first 18 years! Why force the mother to take responsibility but not make the dad take it as well.

K Eagans 3rd

4/26/2019 04:00:56 pm

I honestly don’t believe the government has the right to tell women what they can and can’t do with their bodies. I don’t know much about the laws concerning abortion, but I’m pretty sure that it’s not legal to interfere with women’s personal lives. Being that we live in America and that this is a free country. I do believe that it should be a limit on how many abortions women can have because after enough times it seems like it’s intentional.

M. Mason 1st

4/26/2019 11:04:17 pm

I agree. There should be a limit on how many abortions a woman should have. Now once or twice could be enough but multiple times? That could be a problem.

I’m honestly excited this law is starting to gapping because I dislike abortions personally . & yes it a woman body and they have rights but they also had the right to not do what they did . You're killing a beautiful unborn child . That’s so unfair . This trigger law & abortion ban should be passed in every state .

D.Gadson 6th

4/26/2019 05:48:24 pm

Yes you’re correct it’s not right to kill an unborn child, but if you’re personally not ready for it(accident) or if the baby came because of a rape case the women should be allowed to have an abortion.

Hollywood, M. 2nd

4/26/2019 09:32:44 pm

Certain circumstances should be excused. Yes babies sometimes are accidents and young adults are not always able to take responsibility for a child.

J. Maple 8th

4/26/2019 09:52:38 pm

Not every woman is put in the same boat. People can make mistakes. If they don’t want a baby, they don’t have to have one, and abortion bans are taking away the unalienable right of free will. Period.

K. Brown 8th hour

4/26/2019 10:10:48 pm

This is a very immature statement, only because you are basing the livelihood of a woman off of something that has not in any shape or form become 'living'. To force a woman to have a child that she may not be able to support nor that she may not want due to circumstances (possibly rape) is cruel. Why bring a child into the world that will only suffer if the mother cannot afford it or if the mother hates it. You can shout, "adoption. Adoption" but this is not something that assures a child's proper growth and safety. Saying that something is not fair in comparison to a living being and a clump of cells is "not fair".

J chandler 6th

R. Leal 2nd Hour

4/26/2019 11:28:10 pm

If someone decides to abort a baby, it's not "just because". There is always a reason as to why they did it. They are strong enough to go through an abortion, which can be very emotional for a woman. There are risks with abortions and the woman has decided to take them because she knows it is the right decision at the moment. Not all women are ready to have a child.

R. Mbelwa 6th

5/16/2019 01:05:36 pm

I agree if you did it on purpose reap the results don’t quit halfway through. Also unless it was rape or it’s harming the mother then it’s their fault.

M. Sanchez 6thpd.

4/26/2019 04:23:46 pm

I do not believe that the government or anyone for that matter, has the right to tell a women that she has to carry and develop a child fetus for nine months. As a country we are already overpopulated and have high poverty and unemployment rates, this law will only contribute to those two factors. Not all women abort because they dont want a child or are not ready, there could be many medical reasons behind the decision. A man should not be able to tell a women to keep a child because he doesn't stand by her decision, especially when he couldn't possibly understand what it is like to form and carry another human being. If they are unable to relate to what women experience through pregnancy like being on bed-written or dying at birth or other possible circumstance then you cannot as a male tell a women to experience something your body cant even handle.

marqueshia richardson

4/26/2019 05:21:33 pm

i honestly don't think it would be wrong speaking from a leal point of view i could really give my opinion rather than just speak on facts cause im not sure if banning the abortion would be considered wrong with facts.

Jordan b

4/26/2019 08:00:38 pm

I don't like abortion at all for the fact that many people would do the action on purpose then accidentally have a baby but I do believe that if someone is raped or any other instance then its your choice because you didn't partake in anything at all to cause an unborn child to be developed. I just don't like it because there is a precious life being taken away and we don't know what impact he or she could have made on the world.

Jordan b

4/26/2019 08:07:01 pm

I don't think the government should have a say in the situation because they don't know what the cause of the situation was.

(Ignore my last comment)

K.Brown 2nd

4/26/2019 09:26:05 pm

When most people have abortions ,it usually takes place before the human is even developed . Technically , there is no life to be taken away . A potential life? Yes. During the first trimester , the fetus is most susceptible to drugs and certain medications .The first trimester has a significant risk of a miscarriage. I don't think an abortion should be identified has murder during the first trimester since there are other risks factors involved .

This all ties back into women's rights. Women have the right to their personal choices. The government honestly needs to take several seats. In no way shape or form should a woman be denied her unalienable rights;life ,liberty,and the pursuit of happiness. If a woman is in a detrimental or financial circumstance,and many more reasons, she has the right to take control of her life .She has the right to her happiness.

S Houston 5th

J. Perez 6th

4/26/2019 10:32:56 pm

You also need to look at it from the other perspective. What about the unborn baby. Arent they living? Dont they have rights too? You also got to remember that you're taking a life youre playing againts the creator of life so do you have the right to say that this unborn fetus should die? Thats what the other side is arguing. They're looking at the other side of the situation and when you take it into consideration it kind of changes your mind but still they wouldnt get the life they deserved to have so why put them through the pain to begin with.

M. Cain 2nd

4/26/2019 11:41:20 pm

I completely agree, the ban would take away the choice that women have. At the end of the day is a women doesn’t feel fit to have the child then she shouldn’t be forced to carry the baby out full term.

J. Gonzalez 2nd

4/26/2019 11:45:26 pm

This does fall heavily into women's right. It goes against her freedom of being able to make a choice that will change her life forever. If the government makes this choice for her than they are denying her rights and goes against the United States as a Free Country

Hollywood, M. 2nd

4/26/2019 09:30:26 pm

I completely disagree with the government on this one. The fact that we are over populated and many families are living in poverty is a reason why abortion should be accepted. Placing a law that basic controls women completely violates our rights. Also, men sometimes do not accept responsibility so why force a mom to try to handle things by herself? These trigger laws and abortion bans should be rejected because no one should force a woman’s body.

J. Perez 6th

4/26/2019 10:27:52 pm

Yeah over population is something were going to be faceing sooner than later if women arent given the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Its sad yes, youre dealing with two lives, one that is currently living and the other which hasn't reached that stage. Politically they have laws in place that protect those women's rights but these trigger laws are just annoying. The Roe v. Wade court case should have already put an end to that matter but because of loop holes people are still trying to control what shouldnt be.

K. Brown 8th hour

4/26/2019 09:44:44 pm

Legally this wrong in many many ways. In America, we have the freedom to do all of these things. Yet when it comes to the condition of a woman's body and what she does or does not wish to conceive, it is an issue. The right to abortion is apart of America's unalienable right and "trigger laws" like this one often clash with those rights. Trigger laws have a backing of people who build their arguements around emotion and personal connection instead of seeing a larger picture that affects more than what they believe themselves. Though I myself do not fully see it as a strong-arm tactic, it is still a ruthless one

S. Pirzada 6th

4/26/2019 10:18:16 pm

We shouldn't underestimate women to claim the beneficiary of banning abortion. Most girls acknowledge the purpose of having a child and the law shouldn't her rights to an unborn child without empathizing her situation.

L.Allen 2nd period

4/26/2019 09:44:45 pm

I believe that women should have legal right to an abortion, however the mother of the baby she think twice about the effects of giving up a child such as regret and depression. The government granted this decision to protect the privacy rights of the 14th amendment which forbid states to restrict the basic rights of citizens or others. However, I believe if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill each other?

J. Maple 8th

From a legal standpoint, these trigger laws are so clearly unfair loopholes. The Roe v. Wade case ruled that abortion is legal, and that should be the final verdict. This is a ploy to further control those in a lower socioeconomic status, where women are forced to procreate so they won’t have the ability to go further in life. If the trigger laws are put into place, women will have no hope of ever being seen as anything more than “baby makers”. The presence of the abortion trigger law makes me question what other unfair trigger laws are out there, and the consequences they might have.

I find the government is not playing their cards right. Birth rates are one of the reasons to balance the economy. I understand that people have their own bias on how to make decision, but, not everyone women is accountable to take care of child. It'll become a burden if she's finacially unprepared.

As a major supporter of women’s right I do not in any way believe that the government should be able to ban abortions. This not only increases the the opportunity for children to be raised with unfit or ill prepared mothers but a selfish responsibility placed upon the mother. As much as I want I do not see abortions as “a life being taken” mainly because a lot of abortions happen within the first trimester. (Not even technically a fetus yet) also because the “baby has not begun taking breaths of oxygen on its own. It’s “life” would have yet to begun. Imposing on personal rights such as things of this sort shows how “individualized” we really aren’t.

Aleman.F 8th

From my understanding, individual states can create "trigger laws", which can make abortion illegal, regardless of the Roe vs Wade ruling. I don't believe trigger laws can be strong arming because Strong arming is the used of force or violence. However, I do think the point of these trigger laws were to show that government will always have authority over anyone or because of religion. Also, as over populated as America is, the biggest consequences that the government will face is over population. We won't have enough rooms in adoption/foster houses. Then government will have to spend more money in building more foster houses.

I both agree and disagree with the government choice of abortion banning. I believe that abortion is awful and equal to Murder, but I also know that people have different circumstances to where an abortion may be “necessary”. Yes women should have the right to do whatever they want there body but at the same time, that’s another life your about to take. I think that’s there should be certain instances that abortion can be pursued legally.

This trigger law is so unfair and I trully believe the government is horrible for striping this right away from women. The government clearly doesn’t understand why those women go out and have abortions. They don’t do it just for funny, those women actually have reasons why they don’t want to bring that child in this world. Abortion is not a bad thing at all and this is what people don’t realize. It’s not a human being killed or harmed at all. A human is not even developed yet and that is the part people are not understanding. Which makes them look at abortion so horribly.

No the government shouldn't get involved in what a woman wants to do with her body. It's none of their business what she decides on doing.

From a political stand point the government shouldnt have a say in what women do with their bodies. The bill of rights was constructed under the ideology of personal rights and freedoms. So why restrict women of the rights they were born with and said to be protected by the women's right law. This law states that women have reproductive rights and since "Women have a unique role in the reproductive process that men simply do not." Women should be in charge of their own bodies instead of having some old male tell her what to do with her body.

Society makes you believe it's not alright for ladies to have premature births, which is fine. In any case, lawfully America is as of now overpopulated, and where are you going to put every one of the children that the moms would prefer not to keep. Furthermore, it's not a result of overpopulation, the administration needing to dispose of premature births influences ladies' correct. For ladies, having the capacity to have the decision of getting a premature birth or not is their privilege since it's their body and being informed that you don't have the decision to pick, you can't do is removing a lady's rights.

Pregnancy is not always the result of unprotected sex. A woman can become pregnant while having protected sex and because of rape. The political leaders in charge (mostly religious white men) and the anti abortion laws they try to pass can not get pregnant, they do not have to deal with possible health implications due to pregnancy, they do not have to give birth, they do not have to deal with the physical, mental, and sometimes financial effects after birth. They should have no legal authority over a woman's autonomy ("options"), especially abortion.

The government should not have a say in our personal lives at all, let alone our kids and bodys. A bunch of men gathered around in order to encourage women to have kids they do not want. Abortion should be your choice, based on your feelings and the ability to go through adversity. Not the government. Forcing people to have these kids creates more and more problems down the line for mothers and others. HOWEVER, late term abortions should be illegal, fully developed newborns should not he killed. I personally believe there is some sort of middle ground, they have 9 months to think about wanting a child and aborting at the last minute is irresponsible and sad. Of course certain stipulations apply in certain circumstances but late term abortions overall should be illegal.

Women should have the right to do with their body as they please.

The governments decision to take away a woman’s freedom of choice is beyond controlling.

The world is continuously being overpopulated, so a little control wouldn’t hurt.

Nobody has the right to interfer with the choice of a women. It’s her body and if she does not want to or can not support the child then she should not be obligated to do so. The government shouldn’t be forcefully forcing women to do things they don’t want to. What happen to being free and having choices? What if the child is not loved or cared for because they are the aftermath of something like rape. It isn’t fair for a child.

The government should not have any say in what a woman does with her body. Some could argue that it goes against the 4th Amendment- right of privacy- if the Constitution were to be loosely interpreted. Whether it be for personal reasons or health issues, abortions should be an option. Some may be a victim of rape or incest and others could simply not be financially stable or ready to have a child. The white men passing these laws should not have a say in this matter whatsoever. They are not going to pay for the medical bills, the baby food, nor the rent. When the woman - who was forced to have a child - goes to apply for government assistance, they will complain about it, judge her, and mark her as a statistic. If you are not going to take money out of your pocket to personally pay all of the expenses that come with having a child or be there throughout the whole pregnancy, then you have no say in it.

The government feels as if they can take always the right to abortion to protect the innocent and most vulnerable.” I agree and disagree with this statement because because you can’t tell someone what they can and can’t do with their body. On top of that they are not letting the people have a say so they are making the choice for them I know everyone in office can’t believe that abortions are bad. On the other hand how can you take a innocent life without giving them one chance to see what life is about . If I had to choose I would side with leaving abortions a option to woman.

I will never understand why as a society we fill like we have the right to tell other people what they can and can’t do with their bodies. The government has no right whatsoever to interfere on personal choices that women chose to make. Trigger laws are just another way of the government enforcing the ban on abortions. As soon as the law would be overturned the states with the trigger laws would ban abortion immediately. Again, I cannot stress enough how bad of an idea banning abortion is, seeing as though this wouldn’t eliminate abortions as a whole just the safe way. Taking away the choice of abortions is another way of limiting women’s rights.

I don’t think the government should have autonomy over a woman’s body. Whatever a woman chooses to do with her body is her business—after all, it is a “personal choice.” The government imposing on the right to a woman’s body is wrong and unfair. I can understand certain aspects of the pro-life argument, such as not aborting a child past a certain month, since that’s when it’s an actual human. For some, that would be considered morally wrong. However, that doesn’t mean abortion should be banned—that will only make things harder for women to get abortions in the first place, and I don’t agree with that. You never know someone’s circumstances and the reasons behind their decisions, but in the end: her body, her choice.

From a legal standpoint, the possible anti abortion laws are indeed sexist because they are removing a woman's right over her own body and putting it in the hands of men. Thus, reinforcing the outdated notion that women are inferior to men and that men know what is best for women. This same notion explains sexism in the work place, in the education system, and in our everyday lives. When you take away people's rights, you are a removing legal protection that now could lead to illegal activities. In this case, with banned abortions, women will seek illegal abortions that would lead to near fatal and fatal consequences..

For starters I do not think this is fair to women at all. Also, for most states to not even make exceptions in the case of rape or incest, just goes to show how they feel about us women. For you to make a women keep a child that was forced on her is not right. Even a child, a child should have no business keeping a baby that she did not want. Like why would a 10 year old be forced to ruin their lives, they're just baby's not even capable of raising a child. This law is bull, no one should be forced to keep an UNBORN child that's not even fully developed.

The government shouldn’t compromise a woman’s mistake or need to abort as the government do not raise women children. The government would be imposing a woman but we must have laws because if not there would be more unlawful acts that would cause restraints on the government such as with Welfare or food stamps, day care help needs, Medicaid benefits, etc. A woman who gets raped and pregnant, may can’t bare a child out of the unlawful act.

I honestly don’t think that the government should have a say when it comes to a woman’s body. A woman should be able to decide what to do with her body. If the government wants to interfere then that would affect women’s life, liberty and the pursuit of their happiness. And during the recommended time that an abortion should be done (4 to 6 weeks) the fetus is not considered living person. It’s really easy for a person to give their opinion when they don’t have to carry the child which is a why the woman and the father if present should have a say on what to do.

Also rather than terminating a pregnancy early you’d rather put a child through foster care where they can suffer abuse, or rape. Also the cost for taking care of a child can be a burden to many so they’d rather lose the child than insufficiently take care of the child. The government should respect the decision of the citizens.

Please go back to 9th grade biology and learn a thing or two about embryonic development.

I don’t agree cause what if they were raped then that wasn’t their choice to conceive the child.

I feel like if they have a good reason on why they want the abortion they should be able to get it regardless of what the government thinks.

A woman shouldn’t be forced to keep a child that she can’t afford or she just didn’t want. “Her body her choice”

Women had the rights to make their own choices.You can't force a woman to do something she doesn't want to do .She has the right to take control over life weather she is the wrong of not.Them taking the rights away from women is just going to make the problem bigger than it has to be.It will trigger a polictical and constitutional issue.

I do believe women have the right to make their own choices so they can benefit from them.

Women do have the right to do whatever they please and shouldn’t have to abide by a law for their body.

The use of cell phones has increased drastically over time. Technology is improving and the need for books and local resources are beginning to decrease. The time that we live solely relies on technology for numerous things, whereas, decades ago they used books, maps , pay phones, and went out and to find what they needed in order to learn and survive.

Women fought years to have their own rights and now it’s like they are slowly being taken away. They should not force a women to have birth and keep a baby because we never know a women mental stability. Of course if they aren’t ready to have kids they should not have sexual intercourse but the world doesn’t work like that.

I totally agree with you, its like a woman is being pressured into a life she doesnt want, or isnt ready for.

I feel that the government has absolutely no right to strip away this right from women. I cannot believe that I live in a country that recognizes a ZYGOTE as a viable human life, yet they refuse to recognize the actual walking, living. breathing PEOPLE in the country. It is 2019, society has had plenty of time to learn basic biology. What I decide to do with my body is nobody's business but mine. If I don't want a child, then so be it. Mind your business. If you haven't grasped the concept of being pro-choice by now, then there probably isn't any hope left for you.

The government does try to control women. If i women gets pregnant she should be able to decide what happened to the baby and her body. She is the one who has to deal with it at the end of the day. If she is not prepared then the baby won’t get what it needs anyway like financial stability. If she it’s financially stable then how would she care for it. I’m not saying abortion should be a form of birth control but you can’t make somebody want a child.

I agree she should decide on if she wants to have the child or not.

I agree with you. Why does the government have the power to tell one that they cant get an abortion? Not everyone is ready for the kid, although they should be more careful and well protected if they are going to go and do what it take to make a baby.

I don’t think the government should have a say in this. A women should be able to decide what she want to do with her baby. She probably isn’t ready to be a mother.

From reading and listening to this News clip, i feel that the stand on abortion should not be something that should be a law. What about all the rape victoms in the world? Everyday of that child’s life, the mother will be reminded of the painful experience she had to go through. Also, i feel like it should be all up to the patents of that child or children, you cant force someone to have child that they dont want, as well as, trying to give alternate solutions to a couple or a person who really does not want to have the baby.

Mississippi is one of the only one I agree with. Yes I know some people don’t want to hear it but yes it’s your body your choice but if there’s another body in your body then not really your choice. Knowing that it should change your mind but I guess not. The reason I agree with Mississippi is because they allow it if your baby is a risk to your health or if you were raped. Any other reason you would get one is dumb because you knew what you were doing at the time and should follow through with your (as you call it) your body’s choice.

There is a certain point where it transitions from differentiated cells to an actual fetus(human). Having an abortion before it hits fetus stage isn’t murder. It’s like removing a tumor.

It like with every passing day, the definition of what an individual right is changes. Our personal choice are slowly being taken away and dictated by the government. What someone does with their body, female or male, is their individual choice and right.

Your comment reminds of a quote said by Thomas Jefferson. To cite loosely "If a government is strong enough to give you everything you want, it can also take everything you have." The United States is known for it bountiful resources and endless opportunities.

Let’s kill people because it’s our right. I feel like you should present a reason as to why. There are so many alternatives like birth control and condoms. Maybe if we were safer we wouldn’t be sorry.

K.Moore

The government cannot control what a woman does with her body. I personally feel that there is no need for abortion jus give it up for adoption cause you never know the potential of the thing you are creating. Even though I feel this way I still say that women should have a choice.

I completely agree with your opinion, also most lawmakers are men.

How can be someone be so selfish as to take the woman’s right away? MAYBE BECAUSE THE RIGHT IS ABUSED. These girls go out and have unprotected sex and they don’t care because they know they can get an abortion. I e seen it so many times.

From a legal standpoint trigger laws seem like a misstep in our legal system. Apparently, trigger laws can be adjusted and enforced upon the disbanding other laws or introducing a law. In my opinion, I always though that the legal system was in order and well-thought out. However, upon learning about "trigger laws" it seems to be that the legal system is fragile and easily unbalanced. Perhaps in the future legislators correct this misstep and eradicate trigger laws.

Abortion should not be a law....but sometimes people kill innocent babies because they made a mistake. What about people whose been raped?

C. Swann

Call me pro-black or anti-white but when I think of abortion I think of slaves trying to rid of being forced to birth “Massa’s” baby. I think of white people attempting to dilute the black race. Changing our culture entirely one biracial baby at a time. I read an article by the KKK once saying that they applaud gang violence and biracial babies because they’re both killing off my race.
