Casey vs. Planned Parenthood 10/27/13 Obviously abortions will and will always be one of the more controversial issues that people will continue to debate on forever. Whether or not they believe in it morally cannot and should not be questioned all though I cant see a world where abortions would be illegalized. It’s just something that we can’t control. Being pro abortion myself makes these debates a little bit easier, however there are things within the action that can prove to be just as controversial than the actual abortion. Spousal notification and parental notification are just two of the many ways we can begin to question abortion within itself. Personally I believe these are the issues we should be fighting for, because those…show more content…
(which I know can be quite contradictory) As someone’s spouse, you have made a commitment with somebody, you have devoted the rest of your lives to them and at this point you have at least for the most part considered yourselves ready to be parents. A spousal bond is a bond much different than the one that is formed between a kid and his or her parents. Do I think that the husband should have a say in whether or not his wife has an abortion? Yes, however I do think that there is no way to make that a law. I understand that the same exceptions can apply to spouses. I.e. beating, verbal abuse etc. Also it is important to remember that this baby is the husband’s too. Because of the fact that the mother carries the fetus, and nurtures it (and in no way am I downplaying the amazing role played by the mother during pregnancy), does not mean that the father should be left out of the equation once the egg has been fertilized. This is a completely different story if we are discussing a girlfriend and a boyfriend. The significance of that relationship cannot even be closely compared to the one represented in a marriage. Marriage is the largest commitment you can make to somebody. From that moment on you share everything with your partner, every idea, and every decision. And if one of those decisions is abortion I believe the husband deserves to…show more content…
This is the idea that when you go to get an abortion is required for the mother to go home and wait for 24 hours so she can once again think through all the scenarios and consequences of the action she is about to take part in. I strongly disagree with this. There will never be proof that a woman has thought about her choices rationally or even thought about them at all, but this is a legal action. If she has chosen to have this procedure done than by all means it should be done right there and then. This rule makes it sound like the doctors or whoever is enforcing this rule is against abortions to begin with. The only reason behind the waiting period would be for the woman to second-guess herself. Well, why should they WANT you to second guess yourself or even think twice about it if abortions aren’t morally wrong, or for that matter wrong at all. If they are “wrong” than they should be illegal. Once again I am pro-abortion, and I do understand the seriousness of it, but what really pokes at me is when people who have no information on the back story, and no information on the woman I cant imagine what position he feels he is in to prevent someone from doing what they feel is right, or in many cases
