Abortion Rights
My Abortion Rights section discusses the Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice stances, and goes into why women should have the right to choose to have an abortion. There are many restrictions put into place to limit abortion rates, but it is considered unconstitutional to make abortion illegal. Women have to deal with the struggles of more bans and restrictions on abortion rights, and how this compromises women's freedoms.

Abortion & Women's Rights
Pro-Life“We believe in a woman’s right to control her body, and she deserves this right no matter where she lives, even if she’s still living inside her mother’s womb.” |
Pro-Choice"Women’s rights are being undermined by the efforts of the Republican Party to vote bills that will ban abortions either entirely or make it extremely difficult for a woman to have one." |

Quote from article:
The judge in Arkansas said that the law “impermissibly infringes a woman’s Fourteenth Amendment right to chose [sic] to terminate a pregnancy before viability.” In North Dakota, the judge said that the law “is a blatant violation of the constitutional guarantees afforded to all women.”
