Hello my name is Kim Hollis. And I am supposed to be writing this blog on why I disagree with a story called pregnant and no civil rights. Unfortunately this like other stories I can't disagree with because I totally agree with what is being said. So instead of disagreeing with him I'm going to go over some of the key points of what he disagreed with and what I agree with. Which is probably going to be completely wrong but this is what I have for you. First off my statement said I believe that it is a woman's right to make her own decision about her body.
I am pro-life so I myself do not believe in abortion but I believe in a woman's right to have one. And I don't believe that a court a judge or any civil order can change that. I don't believe the courts have right to interfere with a woman's right on her own body. There are several states that have several laws that are completely ludicrous. Now I understand that if a woman is drinking or doing drugs or putting her baby's life at risk she should be charged whether it be a fetus or toddler. The charge should be the same.
I believe that life starts at conception. The examples I will give in a few states laws are examples that the writer of this paper gave. But unfortunately they didn't give any background so I don't know if or why these arrests were made or these charges were filed. In one case an Ohio woman falls down a flight of stairs and is arrested for attempting fetal homicide. Now if she was drunk that could be considered fetal homicide if she was finding a quick way to have an abortion that would be fetal homicide. If she just fell down a flight of stairs I don't believe it should be considered fetal homicide
. Now in the story of the Ohio woman who gives birth to twins and one of them is stillborn she's arrested for fetal homicide. Now if you did something to harm the other twin then yes. In another case a woman is arrested for having a miscarriage or having a stillborn baby and it's called a miscarriage of justice now that I agree with and less she did something to cause the baby to be miscarried or stillborn. But I agree with this statement politicians making decisions over our bodies is wrong and somebody ought to put a stop to it. So in conclusion I believe that the courts have no place in what I consider to be an act of God but if it's an act of the person then I completely agree that the court should step in.
