Wade. Roe was a single, pregnant woman whose pregnancy was the result of rape, who wished to terminate the pregnancy, which is not legal in the state of Texas. Roe won the case on the grounds that his right to privacy clause of the Fourteenth Amendment had been violated, and abortion was eventually legalized. While countless abortions have been performed since then, there are still many and the debate over whether it should be legalized is still hotly contested. Pro-lifers believe that if a woman has an abortion, she is taking an innocent life, which is an act of murder. (Hamilton, 2004) No matter what stage of pregnancy the baby is in, he should still be considered a human being. When a woman has an abortion, she ends the life of a child who could make a potential contribution to society and takes away his right to life. Furthermore, studies indicate that abortion causes health problems for women such as infertility and increased miscarriages in the future and breast problems.
