A hot topic for college-age Americans, especially young women, is the controversy of overturning the ruling of the Roe v. Wade court case. The case ruled that it was unconstitutional, and a criminal offense to limit access to abortions.
With the recent induction of judge Kavanaugh, many fear the standing of Roe v. Wade. There has been a lot of talk about further restricting women's rights to abortion. With Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, the over turn of Roe v. Wade seems ever more threatening.
In the past, there have been strict restrictions on abortion, and in some places, it was even illegal. If history has shown us anything, limiting women to abortions doesn't "save" the fetuses they are all worried about. Instead, it endangers the lives of young women as they go to risky lengths to protect what is theirs, their bodies.
While many people who are "pro-life" seem to show great concern for the rights for the unborn children of America, they are forgetting about the rights of the women who are shackled to the fetuses they carry. Many women have risked their lives, and even died going through the risky operation of an illegal abortion.
The truth of the matter is, most people don't get abortions just because they want one, but because they feel they need one. The government has no right to interfere. All they would be dong is needlessly putting young women's lives in danger.
