The Fifth Amendment says that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
This ruling allows people to be deprived of life without due process of law and is unconstitutional.
Their argument is, is that it isn't a person until it is breathing on it's own.
I don't believe any government entity should dictate or mandate one way or the other.
I believe the decision is between the woman, the doctor, and her conscience.
It shouldn't be just about a choice of what a woman wants to do with her body, it should be based on medical decisions for the life of the mother or the child.
If you choose to take a pill, the person should be fully informed of any side effects or consequences that can come about.
And only then by consent.
I was 13 when I got pregnant. I understand the fear of facing your parents and believing they will disown you or be ashamed of you.
But there are other choices. I had the choice to give it up for adoption or my parents agreed to help me raise it.
It took me 8 months to decide but I chose the latter.
And if I had chosen adoption I would not be a grandmother today.
At no other time in my life have I had the opportunity of pregnancy. It was a one time offer and I took it, by the grace of God.
I was put on birth control pills after having the baby and I don't know if that is the cause for my not ever getting pregnant again even after 2 marriages. I was on them for one year and they made me sick to my stomach so I stopped taking them.
But the argument remains as far as the constitution goes, when does life begin and that "person" have rights?
I believe at conception, but that's my opinion.
