Should Abortion Rights Be Restricted?

Paper Summary:

The paper argues that minors receiving abortions with consent of a parent or judge is mandatory for controlling the population and maintaining a child/parent relationship. This paper also states that this law needs to be in place and enforced so that children will refrain from having sexual intercourse knowing, if they get pregnant, a parent will know. It concludes that this law is not to be used as a threat, but more as an awareness tool for parents. This will not only prohibit children from having sexual relations, but will also involve parents in their children's lives.

From the Paper:

"On January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion nationwide in the case of Roe v. Wade. Roe was the Supreme Court that saw right to privacy as a constitutional right, including a woman's right to choose whether to terminate her pregnancy. Today, abortion is legal in every state for those over the age of 18, but should this right be restricted for minors? In many states, there are laws stating a minor, someone under the age of eighteen, must have parental consent or consent of a judge to obtain an abortion. Forty-three out of the fifty states have such laws, with only thirty-two enforcing them. Abortion has been on the rise since the Supreme Court legalized it."
