“The decision to have an abortion often reflects or is motivated by religious or spiritual beliefs that place priority on service and conduct of life as values even higher than procreation… Finally, if a woman cannot choose to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, she is denied the right to the “possession and control” of her own body.”
Lynn M Paltrow “To Return the Law to the Condition Before Roe Would Deny Women Their Fundamental Constitutional Rights” August 29, 1985 Amicus Cruiae prepared and filed by The National Abortion Rights Action League (Now Naral Pro-Choice America)
