Casebook

I have chosen the topic of abortion for my research project. Abortion recently is

something that has become more talked about and in the spotlight. While I do not believe it is

acceptable to use abortion as a form of birth control, I do believe that every woman has earned a

right to her own body and she at least deserves the right to a choice. With not only male

lawmakers but female lawmakers trying to make abortion illegal, I want to answer one of my

many questions: Is abortion a female right or a human right?

“Abortion as One Aspect of Women's Health.” comes from a journal on women’s healthcare

The article “Challenging TRAP Laws: A Defense of Standing for Abortion Providers.” comes

from the Berkeley Journal of Gender, Law, and Justice. The article was just published this year

so the information is up to date and Berkeley is a well known and recognized school. The article

how they are being opposed.
