The abortion cases are the sole reason we have a "right to privacy" in the first place. It was an important milestone, in civil rights for American citizens when Roe v. Wade depicted that abortion is legal in the United States. An abortion is a private matter, and the mother should have every right to make a decision whether or not to have her baby. Roe v. Wade opened many doors for us, the "right to privacy" was found in the penumbras of the Bill of Rights. Penumbras meaning a area of partial illumination, so that means the "right to privacy" was never actually worded in the Constitution or Bill of Rights! However, since the fetus is considered a citizen, the rights of the fetus gradually increase and the mothers rights decrease as the pregnancy goes on. It is a smart idea to divide it up into trimesters where the rights for each individual (mother and fetus) change. And I completely agree with this process because as the fetus comes closer to birth, it is considered murder to abort it. It has life, a beating heart, feeling, it is a human being and it would be very cruel to kill a baby so young as that.
