Natural Value Of Legalizing Abortion

Abortion has been around for many years. Since around the 1800’s it has been practiced. The state did not prohibit abortion until the 19th century. By 1880 abortions were illegal in the United States except those that saved the life of a woman. Beginning in the 1960’s women began to fight more aggressively for their rights. By 1970, New York state passed a law that allowed abortion on demand from the 24th week of pregnancy if it was done by a doctor. On January 22, 1973 Roe vs Wade stated the “right of privacy.” Founded in the 14th amendment of personal liberty is broad enough for a woman to decide whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.

And the laws against abortion have never stopped the actual procedure from happening, it has only made it more dangerous and risky for the woman. One of the biggest arguments about abortion is that the fetus can feel pain. That makes it extremely horrific in anyone’s view. This is however very unlikely to be true. The fetus lacks a developed nervous system and brain to feel pain or even be aware of their surroundings. The neuroanatomical apparatus required for pain and sensation is not developed until about the 26th week of pregnancy.

This is terrifying to women in that situation. However, it has not been scientifically proven that there are more cancer finding in women who had abortions.
