The National Government

Did the national government do the right thing of leaving abortion policies to the states? The answer is simply no. Leaving abortion to the states would cause patchwork of laws and it would have politicians interfere with a woman’s health care decision. According to Planned Parenthood, many states have proposed many dangerous requirements. Such as restricting insurance coverage, TRAP laws, which target restriction against abortion, and a requirement to attend biased counseling. One, this is just an intrusive and unfair for millions of women and families who have low incomes. Two, it supports Roe v Wade, which gave us the right to keep our privacy from the federal government. Three, politicians have no place to say about a woman's health care decision. Neither the President, Congress, or the Supreme Court deny women’s right on her reproductive choice. The only choice is to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies. Which any woman can do. This topic can be very controversial, but what matter is the woman’s health and making the safest decision.

In conclusion, the national government could not have left it to the state’s, because they just have harshly restrictive laws that would affect them even more (financially wise). Many have solutions to how to stop this problem, but there’s only one way that everyone could decide and that answer has not been given. For right now, it is up to smart and powerful women to make the safest decision for themselves. Not let any politician intervene making her health care decisions.
