Why do some say the illegalization of abortion would be unconstituional?

Question

With the exception of rape and incest, (of course, I mourn for any women who has experienced either) sex is a choice. It is a decision a man or woman makes concerning their bodies. Especially with todays common knowledge of sex, neither could clame ignorance of the subject. Why would requiring people to take responsibility of their actions be unconstitutional? Illegalizing abortion would not mean women have to have sex.

Where in the constitution does it say "all have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without reprocusions or responsibilities" ? Where does it say that "privacy" excludes one from responsibility?

Thank you, in advance, for all and any answers. I appreciate your time.

I realize "illegalization" nor "illegalizing" is not a word.

Answer 1

I believe that if you are willing to get pregnant (Having sex Qualifies) or if you get agirl pregnant you are responsible to bring the child full term. After that you can decide who will raise the child. PERIOD. Ending the pregnancy is MURDER whether you or a medical professional does it. You need to be charged with Capitol Murder of a child.

Answer 2

Obviously you haven't thought this through...

Here's a what if for you.... What if the woman wants the baby but when she's five months along, she finds out that the baby has some horrible genetic disease that means its only going to live a few years at most and its quality of life is going to be poor, and it's going to cost everything she could ever earn to keep the poor creature alive for those few years. You are telling me that you could look this woman in the eye and say, "I don't care what YOU think YOU should do about this, YOU HAVE to deliver and care for this monstrosity" because if you can do that then you're way more of a cold-hearted bastard than me. If you are against abortion then how many unwanted babies have you adopted? How many foster care kids do you let live in your house? Since there is no way to force humans to think before they procreate, and even for the ones that do there is no guarantee of a healthy child on the first try, so then there must ALWAYS be the freedom for the woman to choose, there must be options available, even if they are unpleasant, or this is no longer a 'free' country. If you take away the right for an individual to do with her own body as she sees fit then you might as well start burning books, and censoring the news. You people want to live in a police state, where the government tells you what to think and how to act? Or do you want to continue to have a free and open society? Feel free to keep voicing your opinion while you can for if more people as short-sighted as you come to power it may be illegal soon.

Answer 3

I've known people to become pregant even using proper birth control. It's still their choice as to whether or not they can or want to care for another human. Then you have the issue of when a fetus is considered human or when they contain "spirit"...before or after the first breath of life or at conception. Telling someone they have to have a child and care for the child is what some would consider unconstitutional. Not an easy issue by any means.

Answer 4

i don't know that responsibility is legislated in the constitution, but the right to privacy is. I think that if there is any change, they should make abortions mandatory, the crime rate has plummeted due to abortions, but there is a long way to go.

Answer 5

Well, I supose it is because some people see it as murder and that is defintaly something illegal.
