The Three Branches Of Abortion

Abortion is the deliberate intention to get rid of a pregnancy by the death of a fetus, and the three branches of government have very different opinions of dealing with this issue in society. The constitution of the U.S. divides the federal government in which no individual or group gains too much control. These three branches are judicial branch, Legislative branch and also the Executive branch. The Judicial branch evaluates the laws meaning this is the Supreme Court. They determine if they should pass the law. Next, the legislative branch makes the laws meaning they are congress. Finally, the executive branch carries out the law meaning the President, vice president, or the cabinet as you can say. To begin with, when it comes to the Judicial …show more content…
The President of the United States is one of the main officers of the executive branch. The three federal branches cannot over power each other. Saying with research found from the U.S. History article, President Ronald Reagan wanted the same thing that the United States Congress wanted concerning abortion. He wanted there to be various restrictions on abortions. But, according to the U.S. History article Justice Sandra Day O’Connor who President Reagan appointed into to office to be one of the federal Supreme Court Judges was against Reagan’s views on abortion. This was usual, for O’Connor to be against Reagan’s views, since Presidents only appoint those who are in agreement with their ideas. According to the U.S. History article, during President George W.

There still were some rules, and not one branch could make all the choices concerning this topic. So all branches needed to decide what they needed to do. The Judicial Branch had rulings about abortion all the time, and some people that are part of the Supreme Court had their different beliefs, and I understand that because not everyone has the same opinion about this. Some states also didn’t want abortion even if a person was raped or got pregnant without having the choice to decide if that’s what they wanted. The Legislative Branch also had some people that wanted to put some restrictions on abortion but they had to keep or stay in line with the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion. Also, the Executive Branch supported abortion, but only to a certain extent, and I totally agree with this. But the Executive branch cannot over rule the power or decision of the Supreme Court concerning abortion. I honestly feel like if someone was raped they should totally be able to have the decision to have an abortion because they didn’t get the chance to decide not to be raped. So I understand the arguments because I don’t think its right to have an abortion just because you don’t want to take care of the child, but I do understand abortion if a woman has no control over how she got
