Yes. A woman has the right to decide whether or not to have a child. Once that decision is made, it is her responsibility to see to the child's needs, or see that the child is given to someone else who will do so. She should not have the right to change her mind by eliminating the child from her body once the child exists. The choice was already made before she got pregnant. She CHOSE to engage in pregnancy causing activity without preventing herself getting pregnant (unless she was raped). That choice was hers to make and she made it. One made she could still change her mind on raising a child, but should not have the right to decide on whether or not that child has the right to live. She chose to start a baby inside her body, by not preventing it. That was her choice. To end its life is no different than ending its life after birth. Would you feel the same about a private individual who decides to eliminate a baby after 11 months from the start of her pregnancy? No one should force her to raise a child she does not want. She could choose not to raise a child by giving it up for adopting. But should her right to live her life without being saddled by a child mean she should be legally allowed to commit infanticide? Now maybe some feel infanticide should be legal. Aborting an unborn baby is also infanticide which is legal because of the age of the infant, counting from the start of pregnancy.

There is no constitutional guarantee to a******ns! There are no amendments regarding a******ns. The Supreme Court applied the Due Process Clause in the 5th and 14th amendments to cover a******ns. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution each contain a due process clause. Due process deals with the administration of justice and thus the due process clause acts as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the government outside the sanction of law. So the very clause which is suppose to safeguard against arbitrary denial of life, is used to sanction arbitrary k*****g of babies.

But in many states, k*****g babies is murder including for the unborn. The following list is a list of states whose homicide laws cover the unborn throughout the entire time of pregnancy.

Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisianna
Michigan
Mennesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Nebraska
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
West Virginia
Wisconsin

The following list of states have homicide laws which cover part of the time of pregnancy.


California
Maryland
Massachusetts
Montana
Nevada
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
Washington

And New York has conflicting laws making it a homicide to k**l an unborn, and another defining a person as having to be born.

Just because states have laws and government have laws and the Supreme Court made a ruling about what is now allowed under the "law" does not protect the life of the baby that has begun.

It used to be that women were so afraid to have a baby because their man didn't want another one that a******n was born (no pun intended, believe me). Women were beaten when they became pregnant. Little by little, a******n became the solution to financial problems in a family. As the technique of a******n became more pronounced, women started to see that it wasn't a big deal if they got pregnant because it was easy to "get rid of it". And now we have hundreds of thousands of a******ns each year. Women are no longer beaten because they get pregnant...they just have to have a little bit or money, or none in the case of "poverty" and they get rid of thousands upon thousands of babies every year. This is repulsive on so many levels it just blows my mind. All those poor little babies!

And that is the most important thing of what is wrong with a******n - it is used as birth control! There are many ways to prevent pregnancy (the one that is 100% foolproof is not having sex). Since our technology has discovered that it can remove a fetus from a womb safely, a******n has skyrocketed. In 2014, 652,639 induced a******ns were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. That's 54,300+ per month...and that was 4 years ago. No one can tell me that all of those a******ns are a "mistake" because other forms of birth control didn't work. A woman has a choice about her own life, for sure, but once she begins another life, THAT person should also have a choice, or have representation of a choice, to live.
