Preventing a woman's right to chose not only deprives her of the freedom granted to her by the United States Constitution (read through either strict or loose interpretation), but it creates a subservient class of Americans. A woman has the right and the freedom to decide what she wants to do with her body, and if she wants to be pregnant. The Supreme Court has already ruled on two landmark cases, Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992). In Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the Supreme Court held that the Pennsylvania State law imposed an "undue burden" on women, defining an "undue burden" as a "substantial ostacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion before the fetus attains viability." This case set forth a test to determine the women's right to choose as well as the states interest in placing restrictions on abortions. In this case, the justices imposed a new standard to determine the validity of laws restricting abortions, which have been used to review state laws to this day.

The new laws put in place by the governments of Alabama, Ohio, and many others are a true punishment to a woman purely based on their sex and their ability to have a child. This places women into a subservient class, and deprives them of "equal protection under the law." These new laws are driven by politicians who neither have the ability to solve relevant world issues nor can separate church and state.

**DISCLAIMER** - This petition does not detract from those who choose to be "Pro-Life" or "Pro-Choice", and is not an argument in favor of either view point. It is simply a petition to show that women should have the right to pick which view point they believe in, and for women to be permitted to make their own autonomous decisions.

Please join us by signing this petition to show the world a man should never chose what a woman can and should do with her own body.
