Hi, this is how you type on sandbox.

In Washington when the Supreme Court was threatening to overthrow the ruling of a women’s right to a legal abortion there was “One of the largest protest marches on the nation’s capital and soon after, the high court refused to endorse Pennsylvania’s new restrictions and left the Roe v. Wade decision intact.” (History.com). This shows when there was a restriction put on abortions how many people stood up against that decision. It was one of the largest protest marches and it lead to a positive change in that the higher court decided not to endorse the new abortion restrictions. It portrays the impact things such as rallies and protests truly have.

There have been many examples where authorities do not seem to care about the mother herself or how the baby's life is going to be after it is born. In Ireland a women was raped and being forced to have that baby conceived from rape, she made many attempts to commit suicide in order to avoid carrying out the pregnancy but “She was eventually forced to give birth by C-section. At every step of the way, the Irish authorities’ concern for the protection of the fetus trumped any consideration of Ms Y’s mental and physical health.” (Newbery, Gher). It got so bad to the point where the mother wanted to take her own life rather than carry out the pregnancy and still the authorities did not care. The trauma the mother had from the rape and having to actually carry out that pregnancy will most liking leave her in not the best state after the pregnancy to care for a child.

Even in states that abortions are legal in; it still at times can be a challenge being able to easily get one. Abortions have never been integrated into our health care system. "90 percent of abortions take place in free-standing clinics. And these clinics, their funding networks, and their legal support are typically run by non-profits that receive federal Title X funding" (Cicerchia, Lillian). Most abortion clinics are non profit because no mainstream healthcare systems or states provide them. Due to this there are many abortion clinics being closed down. If mainstream healthcare systems were willing to take a bigger step in including abortions it would make it a lot easier and affordable for women to get them.
