How Ruth Bader Ginsburg Helped End the Military's Policy of Forced Abortion"Before 1970, women serving in the military were discharged for becoming mothers. This meant that pregnant women in uniform were forced to make a choice: Leave the military to become mothers or risk an illegal (and then-dangerous) abortion.

Air Force Capt. Susan Struck, a nurse serving in Vietnam, decided to fight the rule. Her attorney in the case was Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Although the Supreme Court ultimately declined to hear Struck v. Secretary of Defense, Ginsburg's legal wrangling led to the Air Force's decision to reverse its policy."

RBG felt the women's right to choose was essential. Up until then who knows how many women's military careers and baby fetuses were destroyed. She argued male officers were not discharged upon becoming parents. Thus her client wasn't afforded her constitutional rights of equal protection,

As with anything else in the world nothing is ever simply black or white. The way some tell it they would have you believe most women use it as birth control. In actuality most are for far different reasons. In some cases it may be a pregnant mother who has multiple children at home dependent on her survival if she could become at risk to death if she continued her pregnancy. Perhaps in another, a victim of rape, be subjugated to pay for and raise the scum's child entirely on her own. What about a young underage adolescent who was taken advantage of? What about the woman who had IVF and one or more of the fetuses aren't viable?

Indeed we could write stricter laws that take into account these circumstances. I have no problem with that. But to write laws that totally prohibit under any circumstance can be a death sentence to some as well lead to a life of misery for all concerned. To not take in consideration all the aspects is just plain wrong.
