Manailla 1 Adrian Mancilla English 121 Professor Rachel Newlon April 29, 2020 Argument Analysis Abortion a: 's is vital to the women of America. Through the 1973 Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court case, women in America must be guarenteed access to alegal abortion. In favor of Roe the Supreme Court decided this was a violation of our 14th Amendment right as U.S. Citizens. Although this is true there still are many barriers that the Pro-Life Movement has installed to restrict abortion at ss, Such barriers such as the Trump Administration have put into the supreme court multiple pro- life judges. This means there will be a greater fight to stay with legalized abprtion because of the political climate within the supreme court particularly for women of color. Because of their race and socioeconomic status, women 0} lor often cannot ac s abortions within windows where it is considered to legal. Currently Alabama and Texas have some of the most restrictions on abortion ss. Women in these states have many curtailments such as the 20 weeks window for women to have an abortion. Some women may not even know they are pregnant at that point because they do not have proper access to medical attention, The Hyde Amendment, passed in 1976, ruled that federal money can not and will not provide money for abortions. While this may not seem to be a big deal because in theory it onlyManailla 2 affects abortion access, it also effects Sexual Health education as well as birth control access Under the Trump administration, there is a bigger challenge to restrict access abortion because Pro- Life people control not only the presidency but also the senate and majority of Supreme court judges, making abortion access at high risk. Many laws could be put in place at an extremely fast rate because of the number of Pro-Choice people in positions of power Abortion access is important for all women of America Some women are not ready to have a baby, others can not afford to have a baby because of their socio-economic status. In many cases, women already have children and can not add to having more children. “In September [2017], Trump himself wrote a letter to supporters promising that if elected, he would sign a nationwide ban on abortions after 20 weeks, defund Planned Parenthood, make permanent the Hyde Amendment” (Pro Quest Central). If this happens, not only would abortion access be percariouss however, women’s health care providers such as Planned Parenthood who provide many other resources to women such as routine pap smears, STD testing, and mammograms, will lose funding With Trump’s plan, this could all be obliterated, leaving poor women and ‘women of color without proper medical care omen would not be able to have legal abortions leading to a catastrophe in women’ s health because of dangerous procedures done at home or “DIY abortions.” The Hyde Amendment affects poor women who are those in most need, however, these women can not afford necessities such as birth control. Poor Women in America are on Medicaid seeing that this is federally funded by the government thsi women on the health care plan are critically endangered of proper resources women have the right too.Manailla 3 Ifthe Trump Administration expands the Hyde Amendment and makes it permanent many women would be out of proper medical care. This amendment would end funding for Planned Parenthood. Now, what does this exactly mean? Contraception would no longer be available from Planned Parenthood. For many, that would mean not being able to get treatment at all, 54 percent of Planned Parenthood’ inics are in areas that do not have other nearby health-care options. Seventy-five percent of the organization’ patients live at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level” (Pro Quest Central) this shows how that 54 % of cli s would close leaving many women out of proper medical attention not only for abortion but as well as routine medical procedures such as pap smears and STD testing. This has a ripple effect for America leading people to believe women's physical health is not valued in this country, We need reproductive justice for women in this country because they are people, of our country just as men are regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation. All women hold value in this country and especially deserve proper medical attention. When a woman does not receive proper medical attention things tum dark very quickly. Women perform “DIY abortions” with hangers, hot baths, needles however these “DIY abortions” can damage women's vaginas, cervixes and leave a woman infertile, Limiting abortion access also puts a toll on the women’s health in generalbecause of the shame that it brings back to women who have had aboriton or are seeking that medical attetnion. Many women have died because of improper medical care. It is im portant for women to have abortion access because it provides the with options. Through Trump's administration and expansion of the Hyde Amendment, women stand to lose not only access to safe abortions but toManailla4 birth control and other health services. Not only would women see damages from DIY abortions, America would see a decline in access to sexual health because of the additional services that Planned Parenthood provides. ‘Woman in the United States of America should be valued as equal citizens, and the right to abortion access is critical regardless of socio econmic status or, employment.. Many women benefit from proper legal abortions. This is the reason abortion access shoudl neve rbe shut down, The woma sn sexual ehelth is vital in proper abortions performance for with out it woman would be at sisk for infertility. Abortion is only a womasn bsuiness seeing that at the end of th eday the only perosn responnsible fro teh childs well being from being and ifant int a du,thood is the mother itself To not have abortion access is a violation of the 14th amendment for all women of America As Americans regardless of sex we should resist the Pro-Life moevement for the over well being of Women such as Roe v Wade fougt for her right to an abortion “Warning: Abortion’s Deadly DIY Past could Soon Become its Future."
