Is Abortion A Woman's Right?

Let me put another way. Does a woman have the right to kill her unborn child? Does she have the right to murder her unborn child, for any reason? It is a thorny question about a woman having the right to do what she will with her body. There are no laws against the systematic planning of killing an unborn child. the Supreme Court of the land says it is just fine, and it is a woman's right to due murder of an unborn child, but the second the child comes from the mother's womb, and breathes air it is another question!

What About the Father's Wishes
It takes two to normally make a child, what about the role of the father of the child? There are some men who want the child. We only hear of the one's who do not. Suppose he says : "No abortion, I want my son or daughter."

Why does the woman exclusively have his right, and the man does not? We know he does not have a prayer to claim and raise the child. Is this only a woman's issue? It seems 'Baby making' is generally a equal opportunity playground, and both sides get to play. Shouldn't both sides be responsible?

Is it Constitutional
Tell me, where it is written in the Constitution a woman has the right to kill her unborn children? The privacy issue does not cut it. If it did, why do we still have laws against prostitution? It is simply a woman doing with her body what she wants. I admit, it is a long leap from prostitution to murder, however, there are laws in each State of the Union against prostitution, and for abortion.

A Moral Problem
Perhaps we might be wise in saying that a woman has the right to do what she wants with her body until she is impregnated. Then the moral virtue kicks in. It is the life of the child and has to be considered and protected. It is on the woman and man to take care of the child, considering the child's future. There are many routes this can take, adoption is one. But abortion, the taking of a human life is off the table. and any one involved with it should be prosecuted. Oh that is right, there is no law against. I do not think our founding fathers when writing our Constitution considered privacy as a matter of murder.
