Περίληψη

The following text aims to provide a socio-political analysis regarding the right to an abortion on the United States. Via the legal arguments of the scholars supporting the Originalist interpretation of the U.S constitution, it aims to understand the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which guarantees abortion as a right. However, this position isn't supportive of the limitation of women's reproductive rights but aims to transfer the decision-making process from the judicial to the legislative branch (especially on the state level). This case will be assisted through the utilization of modern arguments in favor of women's rights, the necessity of democratic dialogue and involvement with issues that pertain to human rights in liberal democracies and by the reasoning provided in Jurgen Habermas'
essay «The future of human nature», which will strengthen the sentiment that in a democracy the citizens via their representatives should be the ones that decide about crucial life and death matters.
