Abortion Bans Violate the Equal Protection Clause

The 1973 Supreme Court case <a href="https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/usrep/usrep410/usrep410113/usrep410113.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Roe v. Wade</a> ruled that the Constitution protects a woman’s right to an abortion on the grounds that the 14th Amendment’s Due Process Clause grants women the privacy to have an abortion. However, there has always been a debate about whether abortion rights are grounded in privacy rights or gender equality.

Stated differently, individuals or groups in similar circumstances must be treated equally under the law. <a href="https://medium.com/the-left-is-right/abortion-bans-violate-the-equal-protection-clause-9cee5c39ac46">Read More</a>
