In the case of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruled that multiple U.S. amendments give Americans the right to privacy. Although the case ruled abortion a right for women, many states still implement rules and regulations that make a professionally administered abortion very hard, if not nearly impossible to obtain (Abortion). I believe that abortion should be legalized and made readily available all over the world. The easy availability of professional abortions reduces the rate of maternal death (Abortion).

This statistic shows that abortion can be deadly for not only the unborn child, but the mother as well. Many women cannot handle what they have done, so they try to escape reality in the worst way. Thus, this shows that many women don’t understand the gravity of their situation until the child has been removed. Abortion is one of the most divisive issues in our world today, and almost everyone has an opinion about it.

After over one hundred years Margaret Sanger 's Legacy continues to spark conflict and controversy in the United States. Many consider Planned Parenthood a successful movement that has advocated for the rights a woman has over their own bodies. Others label these services that Planned Parenthood offers as unethical and completely immoral. Many progressive era issues that have been dealt with over time have been resolved, but as new reforms advocating women 's rights are proposed and demanded, questions regarding these more radical forms of contraception, like abortion are being questioned.

This means that either they do not have the means to purchase birth control, their religious beliefs restrict them from acquiring contraceptives, or a multitude of other various reasons. Couples who do not use any form of contraceptives have about an eighty-five percent chance of becoming pregnant in a year.

Not everyones personal or financial situation is the same. While some women reaching out for abortion services my be meet with support, others may experience the opposite.

An HBO show host of “Real Time with Bill Maher”, Bill Maher says that a Texas Legislator has made abortion difficult to receive. Only 8 abortion clinics are open in Texas, and regulations for the clinics are ridiculous. Clinics must now have admitting privileges and ambulatory services; however, if you live somewhere in the West Texas area the nearest area to receive an abortion is 545 miles away (“Real Time with Bill Maher”).

Debates between Pro-Choice and Pro-Life have been going on for decades. Since the beginning of human civilization the process of terminating a pregnancy has been practiced, by the mid 1800’s many people thought it to be murder and it should be stopped.

However, some people still have an issue with how strongly Planned Parenthood support contraception, or abortion. They believe that every woman should have access to the full range reproductive health care services, including access to and legal abortions (Our Issues: Where We Stand, 2015).
