There are multiple documents through out history that have had their ideas of basic human rights and within all of their contexts there are major correlations.

and depend solely on what the woman in the situation herself believes, and under no circumstances should she be told what she is allowed to with her body. The extent of a woman’s right to an abortion should be unlimited. There are countless oppositions to this stance, yet I firmly believe that each individual has the right to decide if they will undergo something as tremendous and consuming as carrying another entity within them for months. Pregnancies that take…
