Claim: Abortion is legal, therefore, it must be right. Claim: You want to ban women's "constitutional right" to abortion. Answer: If child abuse were suddenly declared legal by the U.S. Supreme Court, would that Answer: This is a "spurious" or false "right" - having no basis in the Constitution. The U.S. make it right? Would we ignore such an injustice and do nothing to protect the children? Supreme Court claims to have discovered a "privacy" right in the "penumbra" of the Constitution ("penumbra" definition: a partly lighted area around an area of full shadow). Claim: I have the right to "choose" to abort my baby - a woman's "right to choose!" Court decisions (Roe v. Wade and Doe v.

The only do nothing more than grant temporary license to kill children in the womb, the most "choice" in abortion is between a dead baby or a live baby. Furthermore, the advocates who dangerous place of residence. This license is tenuous and could be over-ridden by reversal defend the "choice" to abort, producing a dead baby, are not consistent. Why is it only in or an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Indeed, to guarantee the permanent freedom of the case of abortion they argue that "choice" should be absolute? Using the same rationale, the slaves and establish rights for all U.S. "persons" the 14th Amendment to the Constitution shouldn't people have the right to "choose" to use drugs ("It's my body") or the right to was passed. It states, "...No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the "choose" to practice prostitution?

To quote Congressman Henry Hyde, "We have a 'right' to free speech. Does this mean the government has to buy us a personal computer? A typewriter? A megaphone?"

Since illegal abortions are not reported, the most accurate statistics are the reports on the number of maternal deaths from illegal abortions. In 1972, the year prior to Roe vs. Wade, 39 women died from illegal abortions. That same year, 25 women died from legal abortion (abortion-on-demand was legal in 2 states). There is ample evidence that there is underreporting of deaths from legal abortions. Often, another cause of death is listed. For instance a 1991 abortion death in Maryland was reported as "Cause of death - therapeutic misadventure." Either there were not many illegal abortions or illegal abortions are extremely safe!
