Choice, what is choice? Choice is the right, power, or opportunity to choose. Everyone in society has a choice and those choices have many consequences. A woman's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion is her fundamental right. If society prohibits abortion, it interferes with a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. Many theorists believe that sexuality is what divides women from men and makes women less valuable than men; keeping this concept in mind, we can say that gender plays an immense role in social inequality. In one of his speeches, Thomas Jefferson explains that we should never put our rights in danger, because our freedom can be next. (lp. org 2007) It is believed that Roe.V. Wade is the U.S. Supreme Court decision that ushered in the dawn of the abortion controversy between pro-choice and pro-life advocates, and whether what a woman wears is simply right a fetus or a life, the debate is endless. Social conflict theory reflects the inequality women face regarding abortion in society, which results in negative change. If a woman's right to choose were taken away, it would result in social inequity. Taking away women's right to choose would mean taking away their freedom, and taking away the freedom of every human being would imply inequality. According to the U.S. Constitution, fundamental rights are of particular importance under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Fourteenth Amendment states that “no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny anyone within it...... middle of paper ...... their motives, many times it's what the woman really wants, so who are we to stand here and say this what women should or should not do with their lives. After all, this country was founded on freedom. Taking away the right of millions of women to choose what to do regarding abortion would be tantamount to taking away someone's identity. In doing so, we take everything they have as unique individuals in society and leave them no choice. We can agree that social conflicts are eternal and ever-changing in our society and that as long as choice is integrated into our community, freedom will prevail.References1. http://www. lp. org/your turn/archives/000538. shtml 20072. http://www. nps. gov/archive/malu/documents/amend14. htm 19973. http://www. nrlc. org/news/2005/NRL01/Coleson0105. html20054. http://www. educated. com/Words-Pun/3333-words-4.
