I agree completely. There is a constitutional right to own a gun if you so choose, so the government should pay so that constitutionally granted right can be enjoyed as safely as possible. Of course, that means that the right to an abortion, which is also a constitutional right if the woman so chooses, should also be paid for by the government so that constitutionally granted right can be practiced as safely as possible too. This is fun. What other constitutional rights do you want the government to pay for? Mark this day down. We are finally in agreement.
Abortion is not a Constitutional Right.....the ability to murder a defenseless human is not a Right, that is a crime.
Sorry, but the supreme court disagrees with you.
Roe v. Wade,
410 U.S. 113 (1973), is a
landmark decision by the
United States Supreme Court on the issue of
abortion. It was decided simultaneously with a companion case,
Doe v. Bolton. The Court ruled 7–2 that a right to
privacy under the
Due Process Clause of the
14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that this right must be balanced against the state's interests in regulating abortions: protecting women's health and protecting the potentiality of human life.
[1] Arguing that these state interests became stronger over the course of a pregnancy, the Court resolved this
balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the third
trimester of pregnancy.
Later, in
Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), the Court rejected
Roe's trimester framework while affirming its central holding that a woman has a right to abortion until
fetal viability.
[2] The
Roe decision defined "viable" as "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid."
[3] Justices in
Casey acknowledged that viability may occur at 23 or 24 weeks, or sometimes even earlier, in light of medical advances.
