The end of legal abortion in USA?
Anti-abortion campaigners believe that prenatal humans have the same fundamental "right to life" from the moment of conception that humans have after their birth. It is based on this conception, that the current US government plans to end legal abortion in the country, although it is recognized as a right since 1973.
The vice president of the United States, Mike Pence, predicted the end of the legal practice of abortion "in our time", consecrated in the North American country since 1973, in what is considered a new evidence of the intentions of the Trump Administration to put an end to this practice. “If we all do everything in our power, we can restore, once again and in our time, the sanctity of life in American law," Pence said during an act of an anti-abortion organization in Nashville, Tennessee. "In the deepest part of my heart, I know that this will be the generation that will restore life in the United States," he added.
In case you forget, the Supreme Court of the United States legalized abortion in 1973 by declaring unconstitutional any interference by the State in the decision of a woman about pregnancy. However, in recent years several states have hindered access to abortion by enacting restrictions based on religious rights. Yes. Believe it! Even in this century. For his part, US President Donald Trump has also created a group within his government to defend doctors who refuse to perform abortions on religious grounds. Also, it has prohibited the use of public funds to finance organizations that practice abortion abroad. All this led Pence to define him as the "most pro-life president" in history. You are allowed to cry now!
Although Trump came to declare in the past his support for the free choice of women, he has recently been taking stands increasingly conservative. He has already won the elections and now there is no need to keep pretending. In 2017, Pence became the first American vice president to attend the "March for life", in which anti-abortion activists, many of them traditionalist Christians, participate every year. Last January, the event was attended by President Donald Trump through a video conference. "I am honored and very proud to be the first president to be here with you, from the White House, to address the 'March for life'," Trump declared through a giant screen, before being applauded by the protesters.
In his speech, he criticized the decision of the Supreme Court of 1973 in the case of Roe V. Wade, which authorized the right to voluntary interruption of pregnancy in the country, and promised to defend what is the first right enshrined in the Declaration of Independence: the right to life. "The Roe V. Wade ruling has resulted in one of the most permissive abortion laws in the world," Trump said to thousands of people gathered at the National Mall. "It's wrong, it has to change”. If you have not yet worried about the president you voted for, start doing it!
