This article concerns: State lawyers
defending stricter abortion laws.

Importance/affects on families/ individuals:
This affects particularly women in that they are getting some of their freedom
of choice taken away. This could be life altering for women and their families.
6.
My concerns: While I may not necessarily
agree with abortion I do think that women should have that right to choose
whether or not to have one. The government may not know the circumstances
behind a woman wanting to have an abortion but that is that woman’s right and I
don’t think that should be taken away from her. I think that a woman should know
in 20 weeks whether or not she wants to keep her baby but I do understand that
there may be extenuating circumstances as to why she may not have decided yet.
I do understand protecting the life of the fetus that does not have a say in
things but I think that the choice should be the woman’s. Nobody knows the
circumstances behind that woman’s decision and I don’t think the government has
the right to make that decision for that woman.
