The Court did not give an absolute right to abortion to women; they created the \u2018trimester rule\u2019, according to which, the States could not impose restrictions in the first trimester, however they could impose restrictions during the third trimester when the viability of the fetus is established. This way, Roe v.

By this logic, the U.S Supreme Court must also curtail the rights of the black people (due to the nation\u2019s inherent history of racism) or snatch away the rights of the homosexuals (because homosexuality is not rooted in the nation\u2019s history and traditions). Women in the U.S got the right to vote only in the 1920s; extending the same argument here, can the voting rights of women be curtailed because it was not originally mentioned in the U.S Constitution?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8;margin-bottom: 0pt;margin-top: 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 12pt;vertical-align: baseline\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8;margin-bottom: 0pt;margin-top: 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 12pt;vertical-align: baseline\">Not only is the argument untenable, it fails to take into account cases of abortion due to rape, incest etc. Recently, a 10 year-old girl who was raped, and was six-weeks pregnant, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2022\/jul\/03\/ohio-indiana-abortion-rape-victim\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;font-family: Arial;font-size: 12pt;vertical-align: baseline\">was denied to have abortion in Ohio.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 12pt;vertical-align: baseline\"> She was forced to travel to Indiana to seek abortion services.

Why should a woman be forced to beget a child if she doesn\u2019t have the financial capacity to look after the child? Why should a woman be forced to beget a child if she was raped? Hasn\u2019t she already gone through a traumatic experience? Why should any woman be forced to have a child, when she simply does not want to?

The power is with the so-called \u2018elected representatives\u2019 who take decisions premised on their ideologies\u2014 the Republicans enforcing the ban on abortions, the Democrats siding with the access to abortions. The whole scenario reeks of democratic backsliding. The Supreme Court\u2019s ruling does not only overturn Roe v. Wade, it also overturns years of progress made by women for their rights.
