SMAmerican Politics Women have been fighting for the ability to possess their own rights since the mid 1800’s and since then it has been such a hassle to have supreme sources acknowledge their requests. The right to choose an Abortion has been a public controversy since the 1960’s; the dispute of being pro and anti abortion is the disagreement regarding a women’s right to choose to legally request an abortion or possibly doing something far more dangerous. A woman can choose to have an abortion for many reasons, but the main reason is not being stable enough to bring a child into the world. A woman knows if they are financially ready to support another human being, emotionally stable to be as attentive as possible to a baby, and overall equipped to raise a child; if one is not ready for any of the given obligations being a parent consists they should have the option to say no to bringing a child into the world that has not guarantee of receiving everything it deserves. It is not a matter of terminating a child because one cannot manage to practice safe sex, it is a matter of not knowing how to become proficient in such a fulfilled commitment and possibly not having enough support to raise a human being.
People often believe that a woman should have their own rights to make any decision they want to, especially when it comes to their body; these people tend to be referred to as Feminists. Feminists are obsessed with women gaining the power and rights that they should have had when the legality of humans started. They tend to be the people who are in complete support of having abortion as an option. A feminist may also believe that the woman and the woman only should decide what they do with their body. However, abortion can be affected by anybody involved with the female who is pregnant for instance, the father. Some people believe that the person who got the female pregnant should not have an opinion about whether the woman should decide to get an abortion or keep the baby because they have no say with how a woman should do with their body. This is slightly true, but not everybody tends to consider the feelings or intentions of the male who is apart of the creation of the baby. A male is just as apart of the creation of a baby as a female, so they should have an opinion on whether their partner should keep the child or not. Of course they should not have the right to tell a woman whether or not to get an abortion, but they do deserve a discussion regarding what may be the best solution for the male, female, and fetus. The altercation between pro and anti abortion is ongoing because there seems to be people who want to take this right away from women by making abortion illegal. There is plenty of movements (pro and anti) that happen during elections that attempt to convince voters to vote for the right choice. A very popular organization that has been started to encourage women reproductive rights like contraceptives and abortion is a largely funded program called Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is usually mentioned during elections; the argument is whether to keep an organization that promotes contraceptives and abortion or to cancel the entire institution. During the election in 2018, a particular candidate that was very involved with the issue of attempting to prohibit Planned Parenthood as well as the services they provide was Brett Kavanaugh. He was nominated by President Donald Trump to run for a position in the Supreme Court. He was then later apart of a huge scandal before being confirmed; he was convicted of sexual assault and misconduct so the confirmation was put on hold. Apart from this scandal, Justice Kavanaugh’s has some input about abortion. Justice Kavanaugh claims to be Pro life, but two weeks into his new position in the Supreme Court he was offered a case that was intended to review court decisions that have been made that had temporarily cut Louisiana and Kansas’ funding for Planned Parenthood. He and another judge denied the request knowing that they would not receive the four votes they needed to review the consultation. This made people reconsider if he was really pro life being that he declined the first opportunity he was given to hear a case; especially because it was about Planned Parenthood a major institution that provides services for pro life. If reproductive resources are taken away from women it can cause major long term impacts. Women weren’t born with rights they had to work and fight for them. If abortion is completely banned in this country, females can be willing to do something desperate like going to a foreign country to get a quick abortion or if they decide to have the baby they may not be ready to give the newborn the attentiveness and affection it needs. Therefore, abortion should be kept as an option.
