Who is the American government to say what a female can, or furthermore, should or should not do with her own body?
The answer: Nobody. There is no law against abortion, and, on January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court ruled that abortion was legal. To say that abortion be illegal goes against the ninth and the fourteenth amendments of the US Constitution. In addition, population growth, pollution, poverty, and racial overtones tend to complicate and not to simplify the problem. We don’t need another child growing up in the country’s foster care system putting a drain on the citizens. With more people in foster care, the taxpaying citizens have to pay for children that aren’t their own.
Before the legalization of abortion, it was widely claimed that unwanted pregnancies resulted in a significant number of unwanted children. Statistically, unwanted children were subjects of child abuse. Legalization of abortion was upheld as the known remedy. It would reduce unwanted pregnancies and lower the child abuse numbers.
Abortion was known and practiced in the world of Greece and Rome into which Christianity started. Greece and Rome were influential in the birth of the western culture. The ancient civilizations were all for abortion, so why is this country being torn in two by a moral issue. It is no longer a legal issue, and should never be a religious issue. People should all just rethink their morals because of the way people dangerously believe that everybody should share their own ethical code.
