This week I came upon a very interesting article that I
found on the New York Times called “Lawsuit Tries to Block New Arizona Abortion
Law” published on July 20, 2012. If you want to read this article it can be found
on the link posted below.
This article is about a group of women’s rights supporters
and doctors who face up to Arizona’s new abortion limits in a federal lawsuit.
They claimed that they violated the constitution and pose a threat to women’s
health. The article also mentioned that the new Arizona law allows medical
exceptions only in extreme emergencies, such as where the delay can cause the
mother’s death or irreversible injury of a major bodily function. What the
writer wants us to understand in this article is that the Arizona law will
support women to have abortions only in emergency cases where it can cause
death to the mother. And a woman has to be in a dreadful emergency to have an
abortion. The information that I read from this piece helped support my
question on abortions. It answered some of my questions; it gave me another
reason why women have abortions. What I acquired from this article is that some
women get abortions to save their lives in emergency situations during labor. I
received some good facts from this passage and has fueled me with more
questions on this issue. The article was interesting to me; I know the law was written
to protect the health and safety of women in addition to protect the pre-born
children from pain and death. Many people are for it and there are many that
are completely against it, in the end it’s the women’s choice. I know that
abortion is still wrong but I don’t really have an opinion on this issue
because I’m not a woman.
