The Pursuit of Happiness for Women
Summary
Women have a fundamental right to choose abortion not only due to the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the constitutional right to privacy, but also to ensure their own happiness and future prospects. With education and career opportunities now widely available, women are making strides like never before.
Article Body
In 1970, a landmark case began when a woman known as "Jane Roe" filed a lawsuit against the state of Texas for being denied an abortion. The pregnancy resulted from rape, and Roe sought relief from the trauma it represented. Although Texas granted an injunction permitting the abortion, the law prohibiting such procedures remained in place. Roe, with her attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington, appealed this decision all the way to the Supreme Court.
The Importance of Choice
Why does the ability to choose an abortion contribute to women's happiness? The answer is multifaceted. Beyond being a right protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and a matter of privacy, it allows women to envision a better future for themselves. Today, women are more mobile in their careers and education, free from past stigmas. A woman's choice might stem from diverse circumstances ?" from a traumatic event like rape, to being unprepared for motherhood due to age or financial constraints, or the need to focus on professional growth.
Pregnancy shouldn't limit a woman's potential. Though unintended pregnancies can happen even with contraceptive measures, abortion serves as a crucial option for women. It shouldn’t be a primary form of birth control, but a necessary fallback. This choice can keep a John Hopkins student on her path to becoming a doctor, or help a woman pursue scientific breakthroughs without interruption.
Understanding the Impact
Choosing abortion is undeniably complex and emotionally challenging. Women are acutely aware of the weight of this decision and will carry it with them throughout their lives. Yet, the choice is often made in the pursuit of something greater ?" personal aspirations and contributions to society.
Overcoming Inequality
It is unfair to bind women to their biological roles while men face no similar constraints. Menstruation, menopause, and pregnancy are unique challenges women must navigate. The Roe v. Wade decision was a critical milestone in addressing these inequities, aiding women in their quest for equality with men.
Breaking Chains
Historically, it's been said that "man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains." However, women haven't had the same freedom, often shackled by biological and societal expectations. Roe v. Wade represented a significant break in these chains, empowering women to forge their own paths.
Ultimately, the pursuit of happiness for women involves the freedom to make choices about their bodies and futures without constraint. Roe v. Wade was a step towards that freedom, acknowledging the importance of a woman's autonomy and her pursuit of happiness.
