In Favor of Legal Abortion

Paper Summary:

This paper argues the case in favor of legalized abortion. The argument centers on the injustice of male control over the lives of women. The writer shows that women who are not white upper-class are most likely to suffer from anti-abortion laws. Addiction, rape, incest, race, and anti-abortion psychology are brought as proofs for a pro-choice conclusion.

From the Paper:

"One of the fundamental questions involved in the debate over legal abortions is the relative rights of females and males to control their own lives. If men got pregnant, the legality of abortion would not be in question. The abortion question brings up the timeless issue of white patriarchal control over the sexual purity of women who males consider to be their property to be used sexually in any way they choose. In my opinion, all women of all races and classes should have the freedom to control their own reproductive lives."
