In 1973, the Supreme Court of the USA ruled that the abortion laws in the state of Texas and all other states were unconstitutional. They justified the killing of a baby in the womb by declaring that they were not “persons” entitled to the protections of our constitution. They also ruled as immaterial, ancient rationales of discourage illicit sex and protect women. The court overruled thousands of years of human law in one decision. This analysis will discuss rationales that support abortion and then discuss the following aspects of the ruling that make it an incorrect decision. These areas include: suppose the Supreme Court was wrong and detail the results of the genocide; abortion has not helped American …show more content…
Abortion is not chosen by the vast number of women who become pregnant as a result of violence. “For example, it is commonly assumed that rape victims who become pregnant would naturally want abortions.

Since 1973 349 women have died from legally performed abortions. This source gives their names along with a short description of their death.

I could not find data at the CDC to support or refute abortion induced death. (Life Dynamics , 2014) The Kermit Gosnell case is an omen that abortion clinics are not properly regulated, thus negating abortion statistics kept by the CDC. In 2010 his Philadelphia clinic was raided and he was eventually convicted of murdering babies that were born alive during abortion. Pro-abortion forces had been so strong that his clinic has not been inspected for 16 years. Babies were murdered and many women contacted sexually transmitted disease their due to the unsterile conditions (Kilff, 2013). The safety of abortion in many locations is clearly suspect after this
