Shanice Brown Discussion 14

When the Rod V. Wade documents leaked. I thought that it was very unfair for lawmakers, individuals and the courts to decide on whether a woman should have an abortion or not. Having rights over women’s bodies just don’t sit right with me just for the simple fact that women should be able to control their own bodies and make their own decisions in the end. Women’s constitutional right to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restrictions has a negative impact on women’s rights and their ability to make decisions about their own bodies. Women should be the only one to choose whether they want to have the baby or not. I understand that the state has an interest in protecting the potential life of the fetus but this law goes against the right to Liberty. Women’s rights to choose to have an abortion is no longer protected by the Constitution because they must now have only one option to keep the fetus. 

From watching the documentary film “Knock Down The House” four progressive women including Alexanderia Ocasio – Cortez who challenged Democratic incumbent in the 2018 United States House Of Representatives Elections. The four activist women bring both their voices and vision to the political arena to seek change in their communities. What I liked about these women is that they are driven to change their communities, although they are faced by challenges their main goal is  to represent the interests of the people by prioritizing issues such as economic inequality, healthcare reform, and environmental protection.
