It's Our Foetus Not Yours!

The Alabama abortion act,2019

According to the law,
“The pregnant is denied of wilful abortion except in case of ectopic pregnancy and if the unborn child has lethal anomaly.

It’s based on the belief that every life is precious and every life is a sacred gift of God.”

This phenomenon isn’t new it dates back 1950 and 1960s when the outbreak of second wave feminist movement was leading to liberalization of abortion law. The new law may be unenforceable due to the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in all 50 states. But, the new law was passed with the aim of challenging that decision.

The rising conundrum of the anti abortion law which has shadowed our social media handles and has been the camera focus these days, making people from all over the world vocal about their opinions and the humongous virtual support being provided on the various protest processions taking places in various parts.

The law passed on the late Tuesday night, received hatred all around the world and is being considered a blotch on the progressive present as well as a proof of the backwardness which still imbeds deep in our minds.

But when we come down to the basics, isn’t it should be the choice of the woman herself to keep the child or not.She is the one who has to carry it for 9 months and that is just the starting ,there is a whole life ahead.

Isn’t it better to end something then to begin something miserably?

The Alabama’s abortion law recently passed has been one of the biggest dagger which was punched on the face of the humanity. Adding to the misery of the women who have already been subdued and are in a constant fight for having an equal identity in this patriarchal society.

According to the law, the women have been abided to keep the child in their womb for 9months. The right to abort the child is not in their hands and thus making them even more helpless . What is more delegating is the fact it is passed in a country which is a part of the biggest and the most renowned liberal Constitution of the world,the US government, which makes it an astonishing desolation.

We, the people, being a part of this world stand on a pedestal where the technological and scientific progress is seen in rising graphs yet the basic humanitarian rights of each individual is still unguaranteed. The women being it’s biggest victim, with another constitutional obligation taking away our right to have control over our own bodies, brings the basic yet inevitable question before us,

Is it actually a right to save a new life ortaking away the rights of the one bearing it?
