America Must Not Close Abortion Clinics :: Pro Choice Abortion

America Must Not Close Abortion ClinicsIn 1973, the Supreme Courts decision do it accomplishable for women to get safe, legal spontaneous abortions from well-trained medical surgeons, and therefore led to dramatic decreases in pregnancy-related injury and death (abortion). Now there is a new project to close abortion clinics. This proposal takes away the privacy rights of American women that are guaranteed by our Constitution. By closing abortion clinics the government is not only taking away womens rights, but is also punishing those whom want to exercise their right to have an abortion. Abortion clinics allow thousands of women every year to have abortions. Having the abortion should be womans personal choice. By closing these clinics, there exit be no providers to perform the operation, so the choice has already been made for them. Closing the clinics will increase the barriers of having an abortion. When there are too many obstacles, the right to make their own choice is ta ken away from them. In 1973 the American Supreme Court ruled that Americans right to privacy included the right of a woman to decide whether to have children, and the right of a woman and her revive to make that decision without state interference (abortion). The Constitution says we have a right to privacy, so taking away a womans chance to make decisions about her own body violates that right. The American Civil Liberties Union defends the Constitution and peoples rights. ACLU has protected the rights of abortion for women, and in recent years has argued mayor cases opposing restrictions that deny woman access to reproductive health care (ACLU). Policy 263 states The ACLU holds that every woman, as a matter of her right to the enjoyment of life, liberty, and privacy, should be free to determine whether and when to bear children.(The American Civil Liberties Union) The closure of abortion clinics will be done with the purpose to reduce the number of abortions. This raises the que stion whether this will be an effective method or not. Before 1973 abortions were illegal yet the number of women who sought abortions did not decrease (abortion). Before 1973 many thousands of women died or suffered serious medical problems after attempting to perform their own abortions, or going to untrained doctors who performed cheap abortions with uncivilized methods or in unsanitary conditions (The Abortion legal philosophy Homepage.). If clinics are closed, women will still continue to attempt, and succeed, in ending unwanted pregnancies just like before 1973.
