Unpiled

14th amendment

Quote:
¨Both the Canadian Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court of South Africa have recently
rendered decisions exploring and applying the constitutional right to health in cases outside the
abortion context. (10) This right to health, which is conceived by those courts, at least in part,
as a negative right to noninterference with medical treatment decisions and the doctor-patient
relationship, can and should be recognized in the United States as well, along with the rights to
privacy, autonomy, and bodily integrity protected by the Fourteenth Amendment's substantive
due process guarantees¨

Paraphrase:
The constitution of the united states protects pregnant woman´s liberty to choose to have
have an abortion without excessive government restriction. This has promoted a debate in the
U.S of whether or not abortion should be legal.

Quote:
¨At the same time, however, feminist legal scholars have largely shied away from discussing
abortion as primarily a medical procedure, instead emphasizing the idea of abortion as an
intensely personal decision and as a right that is essential to women's equal citizenship. ¨

Paraphrase:
Every woman should have the right to make a decision as important and personal as this,
without being afraid of committing an illegal act.

¨ The current framing of the debate is wounding our nation and may in fact become our
undoing, dividing us so deeply that in seeking to win elections, we lose our nation's soul.¨

Paraphrase:
This issue presents an extreme delicacy because if it is not approached in an appropriate,
rational and impartial manner, it can cause separation in our society and deeply hurt our
nation, ending in a political, religious, social and moral chaos ¨

Debate for making abortion illegal

Quote:
“Third, we must shift the debate from making abortion illegal to making abortion less and
less necessary. The truth is that we can both reduce abortions and protect vulnerable women
from having politicians (who are mostly wealthy, and male, by the way) interfere with one of
their most personal moral decisions. Abortion reduction rather than criminalization is a goal
that nearly all of us can agree to.�

Paraphrase:
instead of revolving our attention in the legal weight abortion would entail, we should be in the
look out for new alternatives that lead to a significant reduction of it. It is an indisputable truth
that we can find ways to reduce the necessity for abortion and ensure the protection of those
women who find themselves in the need of doing so. Reduction of abortion instead of
criminalization is an objective that almost everyone can accept.

supposedly--the support and respect of the community. ¨

Paraphrase:
in some places of america, abortion is legal and can be performed in clinics with professional
people, which reduces the death of women from unsafe abortion with untrained people.

Quote:
Second, we must acknowledge that there aren't only two positions on abortion. It would be
more accurate to say there are five, with purists on either end of the spectrum, and in the
middle, three groups that account for the majority of us, those who are against abortion but do
not want to criminalize it, those who support abortion rights but who would like to see abortion
rates reduced, and those in between who see wisdom (and problems) on both sides. If we get
beyond the old two-sides framing, we can drop the old pro-life versus pro-choice binary
entirely. The fact is that life and choice are not mutually exclusive, and in a democracy, we can
hold our own moral convictions about life and choice, rooted in our religious traditions, without
feeling that others should be forced to live by them.
Paraphrase:
It is of utmost importance the recognition of the existing midpoints between the already known
positions in the face of the abortion debate. Beyond those who flatly stand for and against are
points of view that, while not 100% permissive, are not 100% restrictive. Accepting the diversity
of positions can mean the end of the pro-life and pro-choice mentality and learn how to live
with the fact that others are not forced to live under our own precepts.

¨First, we would stop demonizing each other. We would acknowledge how seductive it is for
each side to consider itself morally superior and reduce its opponent to the level of moral filth.
We would face the harm that kind of pride can do, both politically and spiritually. In our
combined 120-plus years of life experience, neither of us has ever met a single supporter of
abortion rights who hates babies, supports infanticide, or who has a "the more the better"
attitude toward abortion. Nor have we ever met an abortion opponent who hates women and
wants to throw mothers in jail for seeking an abortion. No doubt, such extremists may exist, but
we have yet to meet any, and we can no longer let the debate be framed and fought from the
extremes.¨

Paraphrase:
we must stop belittling our contrary´s and accept that a third party will always own a different
opinion than ours. Our approach on this subject should always be respectful towards others
beliefs and argumentations; be as realistic and sincere as possible, trying not to falsely and
negatively magnify our statements in order to make them valid .
My Ideas:
We are aware of extremist cases but they fail to be relevant since they don't represent an
important percentage in our debate .
