Burns-Samuel: Red states are against women rights

Abortion rights have always been a very touchy subject between the conservatives and liberals. The conservatives obviously are against it at all costs and the liberals are for it being the woman’s choice. So since there’s not an agreement on this issue, and they probably won’t ever come to one, there are many laws on this in all states but some are very rigorous and almost impossible to have a procedure.

The women of the red states are putting up a fight for their rights which are lawfully their’s since the human rights doctrine states that “we’re all equal before the law.” Women just want to have the right to choose whether or not to go through with the procedure. Which is one choice that the red states are trying to make for the women.

Women don’t really have a lot of say in the red states because we as women don’t really have any pull unless we’re attached to a man. Why is it that in 2015 women are still fighting for simple rights like the right to choose? Because the big wigs in congress can’t seem to ever agree on anything including the Planned Parenthood federal funding that could very well cause another government shutdown and the destruction of American lives while they sit, argue and still get paid.

The war on women will forever be an ongoing one because this issue is pretty much divided up amongst the American population. The GOP is trying to have a government shutdown because they don’t want to budget when it comes to giving Planned Parenthood more than 540 million dollars to continue their services to women. Mainly abortion. Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Oklahoma (not surprised at this list at all) have all put restrictions on clinics that raised a lot of questions and concerns to the residents of those states. Such restrictions have been placed on the clinics in Texas causing them to close down almost, if not more than, half of the clinics which caused this battle and the women of Texas are hoping their case goes to the supreme court. Just having the simple right to choose whether or not they want the procedure is causing so much damage in our country. Just saying.
