Abstract
Abortions have been legal in the United States since 1973 after many lawsuits. Now there are controversial issues surrounding the topic of abortion. Is it right or is it wrong?

There is also the issue of human rights and no legislators should be able to tell a woman what she should or should not do to her body. It should be the choice of the woman and most women make the right choices when it comes to a baby inside them.

This stated during the first trimester, a woman has the right to decide what happens to her body. In addition, the court ruled that the state could intervene in the second trimester and could ban abortions in the United States in the third trimester. I believe that it is just that a woman should decide what happens to her own body, and it is in just to invade her privacy with banning abortions. Many of the women that go through with abortions do it for a good reason. They should not have to explain their selves to anybody. It is their
