Abortion, the removal of a fertile egg from the mother, is a prodigious social and legal issue which should remain legal. On January 22, 1973, Roe v. Wade concluded that performing abortions is legal, but the questions and concerns of the issue being socially and legally acceptable raves on. A pro-life activist would take the helm of a “War on Abortion” heaving out plenty of arguments using the fact that the egg is a living being as its foundation, while a pro-choice movement fights for the choice to terminate their egg, their fetus. Women should have the right to choose whether they can or cannot remove their egg, and, not be shadowed by the legal repercussions and social scrutiny. This fight between pro-choice and pro-life activists has been

Wade. This landmark decision made abortion in the United States a woman’s right. The nine judges must have known that a prohibition does not stop anyone, if anything, it fuels now criminals, as seen in the alcohol prohibition. This Supreme Court case ruled in a seven to two vote expanding upon 14th Amendment in hopes to “protect women’s health and protect the potentiality of human life” (Roe v. Wade).

Most of the barriers for current abortions include pricing, harassment, distance from a clinic, and length of gestation. Stanley Henshaw, a sociologist who has authored more than sixty articles on abortion policies, has found in his research that for most American women, abortion is tied to where they live. He also found a measly three percent of nonmetropolitan counties have an abortion provider.

Well to answer that question we must know what morals are. Morals are a person’s standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is not acceptable for them to do. If a pro-life activist were to argue abortion is an immoral act then their argument would be extraneous because everyone has a different set of morals than each other. For example, Hindus do not eat beef because in their religion a cow is a God (National Hindu Students’ Forum). Another example for this argument would be a terrorist organization attacking and killing any Westerners, they find this act moral, but in our society, this is immoral and against the law. Since everyone, every culture, and every religion have their own set of morals, any pro-life supporters’ argument is
