Citation Fouhy, Beth. "Health Bill Revives Abortion Issue for Young Women." Daily Progress (Charlottesville, VA). 19 Dec. 2009: n.p. SIRS Issues Researcher. Web. 19 Oct. 2014.
Blurb: Health care debate is driving many young feminists to fight for abortion rights. Insurance companies are now trying to refuse payment towards abortions. If the bill is passed no health care plan would be required to offer coverage for such procedure. This is now becoming an issue towards woman because they feel as if they have to compromise with these rights in order to receive health care reform. Many organizations have come together to help fight for better rights, some including Planned Parenthood and the Feminist Majority Foundation.

Hellerstein, Erica. "An Abortion in Chile." Ms.. Summer 2014: 36-39. SIRS Issues Researcher. Web. 19 Oct. 2014.
Blurb: In Chile, women have now found a new method of abortion. Misoprostol is an abortion induced medication. Although this medication is prescribed to prevent and treat gastric ulcers it can also be used for miscarriages. Because of the Chilean abortion ban, women would rather take this route instead of the traditional one. Although it is illegal, they feel as if it is more safe and convenient.

Clark-Moe, Loren. "My Body, My Employer, My Abortion." Washington Post. 06 Jul. 2014: A.15. SIRS Issues Researcher. Web. 19 Oct. 2014.
Blurb: This is a story about a federal working woman who chose abortion. Her job denies her health care coverage for the procedure. Although she was fortunate to have the funds for such costly thing, her concern is that many other woman like her may not have a way to pay for this. She has since moved on from that job to pursue a new career. This woman wants equal rights for abortion, especially those that are under restrictions because

    The way abortion is treated in the Courts provides an example of the disregard for abortion procedures and how it affects the rights specified in Roe (Whitman 1985). This lack of appreciation for the impact Roe v. Wade had on American women has led to a woman’s right to choose to become compromised (Whitman 1985). The Supreme Court essentially gave women the right to an abortion, allegedly free from state coercion, without offering any evidence as to why it is important to women (Whitman 1980). The consequences of not being able to obtain an abortion are hard to envision without the understanding required to think rationally about the subject. The lack of understanding of the ethical obligations that women are forced to consider is perhaps…

    Abortion Case Summary

    • 5 Pages

    Hellerstedt is the most important abortion case of this decade. The decision the Supreme Court makes will forever change how abortion is regulated and women’s access to abortion. One-sixth of all women in Texas, well over one million, being affected by a law is indefinitely a significant number. The implications of HB 2 create a multitude of unnecessary barriers women must go through in order to fulfill their constitutional rights. A bill that has the potential to close ¾ of the abortion clinics in the nation’s second largest state is a monumental blow to women’s rights. In a state that had been safely practicing abortion for over forty years, the harsh requirements of HB 2 are completely…

    Cagan 1 Erica Cagan ENC1103.036/Prof. Bieze December 2, 2011 Word Count: 1147 Her Choice If a woman doesn’t have control over her own body, than does she have any control at all? Abortion has fostered one of the most controversial, contentious and ethical debates in the United States. People divide themselves into two groups: pro-life and pro-choice. Pro-life argues that abortion is murder, and the mother has no right to take the life of a potential child. Prochoice “ refers to the political and ethical view that a woman should have complete right over her fertility and that she should have the freedom to decide whether she wants to continue or terminate her pregnancy” (Bose). In 1973, the Supreme Court made it possible for woman to obtain a legal abortion from well-trained medical surgeons which was a giant step forward for women’s rights (Pomeroy). Undertaking an abortion is a woman’s choice and any proposal to take away this autonomy not only violates a woman’s civil rights but would also cause many more problems in regards to a woman’s health. A woman’s autonomy is the one thing no one should be able to take away from her. Abortion is an extremely private matter that the government has no right to interfere in. If the civil rights of a person entitles him or her to not have unwanted infringements by the government and the government tells a woman that she cannot have an abortion, then is this not a violation of civil rights? Without abortion, woman would be condemned into pregnancy which “forces them into submissive roles in society” (Pomeroy). Pregnancy denounces women to “second class citizenship, since in our society, mothers are second class citizens. Once a woman becomes a…

    Roe V. Wade History

    On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court announced its decision in Roe v. Wade, it was enacted in order to make abortion services safer and more accessible to women throughout the country (Roe V. Wade: Its History and Impact). Prior to Roe v. Wade, abortion was illegal in almost all of the states unless it was to save a woman’s life, preserve her health, or in instances of rape, incest, or fetal anomaly. Prior to 1973 most women were not in the workforce and were not able to pursue education because they were stay at home moms. Having the ability to control one’s own reproductive life has opened many new equal opportunities for women. The focus of this paper is to analyze Roe v. Wade and its issues, history, effectiveness, and goals.…

    Abortions are now safer than childbirth itself, having an exceedingly less fatality percentage (“Supreme Court Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions in Texas,” 2016). ● Some individuals think that to put such “restrictions” on clinics creates an “undue burden” for women and their ability to receive an abortion legally (“Supreme Court Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions in Texas,” 2016). ● One argument against the regulations is that it would require a multitude of clinics to shut down, leaving countless women without a clinic nearby (“Supreme Court Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions in Texas,” 2016). ● Due to the fact that “approximately 900,000 women would have to drive close to 300 miles round trip” might cause them to go about other ways of…
