The Supreme Court has just recently banned a kind of late-term abortion. This late-term abortion is rarely performed on many women because it is performed right before or during the second trimester. The problem with concern here, is the women's right to have a late-term abortion without considering a health exception. The controversy found with the courts is the right of a woman to have an abortion at anytime during her pregnancy, as well as having to consider "the health exception", which is intended to benefit the well-being of the pregnant woman. The problem in the courts is there seems to be an unconstitutionality of the abortion enactment from 2003. The government seems to be trying to hinder the right of a woman to have an abortion and this does not provide provisions which makes it unconstitutional.
In my opinion, I think that banning this law is ridiculous. People are not allowed to tell a woman if she can or cannot have her own baby. Bush's opinion and the cheif justices opinion is that they are forgetting any rights for each individual by the constitution is not to judge it as moral or immoral, but amoral. In the end, Someone having an abortion deos not effect the rest of the country, but their own morality.

AMEN TO THAT! haha i definately think this whole abortion thing is being taken to far. It really should only be up to the women whether they want to keep their baby or not.. it's completely their right to have an abortion and i think the president needs to lay off because he's not the one having to squeeze a baby out. am i right??
I agree with Ekiza because it is true that they have the right to have a abortion or not because it is their baby not someone else. So if they want to keep the baby they should or if they have some problem with it, then they can have an abortion.
