Is it the woman's right?

According to the Roe decision, most laws against abortion in the United States violated a constitutional right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. There are a lot of people out there who think that if abortion were illegal it would be violating women's rights. But is it a woman's right to end a life? Yes, it is her right to decide what can be done to her own body but is the life inside of her considered to be HER body? I don't think that women should have the right to terminate their pregnancy. Twenty one days after conception the fetus has a heartbeat. So in my opinion it would be wrong to allow a mother to stop the beating heart of her own child.

  1. i would go on further to say that the abortions before the heart begins to beat are still wrong and women have NO right to kill the unborn child. Even on the frist day a life is beging to form into a huamn being and stoping and destroyign that process is horrorific.
