ABORTION RESTRICTIONS ARE UNCONSTUTIONAL

GET THE FACTS BEHIND THE NEWS

The public pronouncements and actions of certain religious groups have made the decision of whether society should allow abortions or prohibit abortions a moral or religious decision.

At present a large well organized and financed group have worked to have the US gov’t enact laws that will enforce the moral and religious decision that they favor.

This is clearly unconstitutional as it infringes on the 1st amendment to the US Constitution “Freedom of Religion”. It forces everyone including those that disagree or have other values to a belief or course of action they disapprove of.

The abortion decision seems to have no objective right or wrong basis. In the US certain religious groups are against abortion. In China abortions are mandatory—one child per family. In the US It seems to be a moral or religious policy decision. According to the Guttmacher Institute research,for the individual having an abortion personal circumstances are usually the deciding factors.

Even the deeper “respect for life” seems to have no objective right or wrong basis but depend on religious views. The Catholic Church is a strong believer in “respect for life”. However in other religions the highest accolade goes to the person who will die for his religion. Some civilizations have practiced human sacrifice or even cannibalism. Some countries are willing to sacrifice thousands or even millions of people in their drive for conquest and domination.
