In particular, the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is analyzed to ascertain infringement of liberty, if any, upon the rights of minors to obtain an abortion without parental consent or notification, the rights of parents to be informed of such actions to maintain family unity, and the responsibility of the state to protect its citizens.
Historical Analysis
Abortion1 is not a new issue in the United States: rather, the practice was legally used as early as 1660. Restrictive abortion laws were not written until the late nineteenth century and went unchallenged until the evolution of the women's movement of the 1960s.2 The first winds of change were moderate. ...

Abstract
This paper examines various aspects of abortion and abortion law such as social and ethical concerns as well as the law, and more specifically concerned to that of women's rights.
From the paper:
"While medical science is making abortion much safer for the woman, the debates and the legal battles continue unabated. In the United States, the battles rage in the courts, the Congress and state legislatures. There have even been violent confrontations in the clinics where abortions are performed. There are people in favor of giving the woman the right to abort, and people who are not prepared to allow abortion except when it puts the life of the mother in danger. In between these two extreme positions, we have people taking intermediate positions."

"Abortion and the Public Interest
Introduction:
The intention of the following pages is to explore the way in which arguments are constructed for the pro and con positions regarding government funding for abortions. Although both positions will be summarized, the pro position will be examined in more detail.
The Abortion Polarities:
The essential abortion "debate" consists of two diametrically opposed positions. Those who favor abortion as an available option for women under a number of conditions, generally labeled the "pro-choice" position. Those of this mind-set contend that the fetus is essentially not yet human life, but tissue that is ..."

From the Paper
"Abortion was one of those topics reserved for private conversations until 1973. After the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, it became a major headline and remains an important and controversial medical, political, religious, and ethical issue. According to Louis Palmer , thousands of abortion organizations have developed since 1973. Abortion violence and demonstrations and the laws designed to combat such protests, embryonic cloning, embryo/fetal stem cell research, assisted reproductive technology, surrogacy, major birth defects and sexual diseases are a few of social issues resulting from the abortion debacle."

Abstract
An argumentative paper about the legalization of abortion. The author argues for the freedom of abortion by looking at the consequences of making abortion illegal, the possibilities of other options and the religious, ethical and moral aspects involved.
From the Paper
"Though I do not support the absolute freedom of abortion, I do not agree that abortion is wrong. In my opinion, we have to consider all the circumstances behind the woman?s decision to abort the child and we should allow her to make the ultimate decisions. The possible consequences of making abortions illegal can be more drastic than abortion itself. In this paper, I considered three issues: first, the events of 1930s through 1960s, when abortion was illegal; second, the possible option of adoption; and last, the religious aspects of abortion."

"INTRODUCTION
The issue of abortion is the most divisive social and political issue in America today. There are two opposing armies of dedicated true-believers, one opposing abortion under any circumstances because they view it as the murder of an unborn child, and the other upholding the idea of choice as an absolute allowing the woman to secure an abortion without hindrance at any point in her pregnancy. Standing between these two extremes are millions of Americans with a more moderate view. This view includes a concern for the trauma of the woman and an understanding that abortion is a choice not to be made lightly. These millions of Americans area also willing to allow some restrictions on abortions without banning the option altogether. The issue to be explored here is government funding for ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the U.S. Supreme Court is currently reviewing the case of Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood. This is a case out of New Hampshire regarding a law that would require parent notification before a minor could receive an abortion, even if it is a life threatening situation.
Outline:
Introduction
The Law and its Controversy
Benefits of the Law
Disadvantages of Law
Conclusion
From the Paper
The law originated in the state of New Hampshire from a woman in the legislature by the name of Phyllis Woods. She was a former credit bureau manager prior to being elected to the legislature. Her decision to enter politics was based on the issue of abortion as in 1997; New Hampshire repealed some laws which removed some restrictions. She was quoted as saying, "I felt the legislators were doing something wrong."

Should Abortion Rights Be Restricted?, 2005.
An examination of the importance of an age-restriction rule in abortion.
909 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 32.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
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."

The Ethics of Abortion, 2007.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the respective arguments of Judith Thomson in "A Defense of Abortion," with those of Don Marquis in "Why Abortion is Immoral." The paper argues that while the two approaches to the question of abortion are distinct in their fundamental assumptions, in general both arguments are based on the same methodological premise that the complex ethical issues surrounding abortion can be understood through what may be termed a "property-rights" approach. The paper concludes that Marquis' argument is marginally stronger than Thomson's in this regard.
From the Paper
"Thomson's analogy that for a mother to be compelled to carry a person she does not want for nine months - with the possibility of years of support following - is analogous to someone using one's property without permission is clearly very strong. It suggests that the self-defense argument is particularly strong, to the point of being almost unchallengeable. After all, if we defend the right of a person to defend his own life to the point of killing another if necessary, then why cannot the same rule apply to a mother. More broadly, why should a mother be forced to allow another person use of their property should they not wish this? In contrast, Marquis seems to emphasize the value of the property in this analysis. For the mother to terminate a fetus would be, in effect, the elimination of decades of life-value for the unborn fetus."

Abstract
Almost three decades after the landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade case legalizing abortion in America, the issue remains the greatest moral flashpoint facing America today. This paper examines the underlying ethical arguments of both sides of the abortion debate, using Ronald Dworkin?s ?sanctity of life? principles. By ?abortion,? this paper includes all forms of abortion, from early fetal abortion through the RU46 drug to late-term abortions, from abortions out of ?convenience? to abortions in cases of rape and incest. It evaluates how the anti-abortion crusade has framed their campaign on the personhood and the rights of the fetus. The second part looks at the pro-abortion movement, which has framed their issue as a campaign for women?s reproductive rights. Finally, the paper examines the approach of a minority of women, activists from both camps who are working to bridge the gap between pro- and anti-abortion factions.
By presenting both sides, this paper argues that because of current societal structures that make unwanted pregnancy more likely to happen and its consequences more difficult to assume, abortion must remain an option, a ?necessary evil.? Both pro- and anti-abortion factions, however, must work towards their common ground ? a society where abortions are no longer necessary.
From the Paper
"Despite the legality of abortion and its importance to women?s rights, anti-abortion activists have successfully curtailed several pro-choice gains. More important, the ?pro-life? camp?s appeals to a higher moral law have successfully placed pro-choice advocates on the defensive.
However, pro-choice advocates also frame their stand on morality. Forcing a woman to continue and unwelcome pregnancy is ultimately harmful to the mother and the child. The creation of unwanted and uncared-for children has a two-fold effect of limiting a woman?s potential for both the present and future motherhood. As Roiphe states, becoming a mother is a crucial choice and its imposition makes women into ?slaves of their biology? (142)."

Post-Abortion, 2005.
This paper discusses abortion, especially the post abortion period, from the aspects of the Christian church.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the view of the church, abortion is possibly one of the most vivid instances of a circumstance where something is legitimate in this contemporary period but is viewed as committing a sin against God. The author points out that the Church declares that the victims of abortion are both the woman and her child because the demise of a child is one of the severest moments of strain a person can bear in life; therefore post-abortion syndrome is the emotional trauma of not lamenting and not allowing oneself to experience the agony and suffering that goes with the bereavement. The paper states that the Law of God divulges the sin of both partners and they feel at fault and immense grief, the church controls individuals who persistently experience the saddle of the sin of abortion by repeatedly indicating them to the cross of their Lord Jesus.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"However, in case of some women, the strain post-abortion is linked with eating problems like overindulgence in eating, bulimia, and anorexia nervosa. Abortion is connected with greater depression, aggressive conduct, alcohol and drug abuse, and surrogate pregnancies, and lower maternal linkage with children who are born thereafter. These causes are strongly linked with child abuse and will seem to corroborate stray clinical evaluations connecting post-abortion pain with subsequent child abuse. It has been seen that post-abortion couples have increased chances of divorcing or undergoing separation. Several post-abortion women develop an increased problem forming long-term relationships with a male partner."
