Some feel using precedent from Roe vs. Wade, is not strong Constitutional evidence to support pro-choice
<br /> legislation. It is also believed that referencing the 14th Amendment, as a woman's right to privacy in deciding if
<br /> she wants to continue with her pregnancy, is also a far Constitutional reach.
<br /> Many believe life begins at conception, and once life is recognized and their parents are U.S. citizens, that
<br /> HUMAN baby is afforded his or her rights under the 4th Amendment:
<br /> "...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any
<br /> person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".
<br /> Who is speaking for the child in the womb? Who needs the most protection? Is it not those who cannot speak for
<br /> or protect themselves like a baby in the womb of their Mother?
<br /> There has been no ruling on the current federal case as of today. Regardless of the ruling, states and
<br /> municipalities still have their own courts and judicial system. It would be very unlikely for the federal Supreme
<br /> Court to make a blanket ruling for all 50 states, so how about allowing cooperative federalism to work.
<br /> How about we as Lakewood citizens work on some of the cultural issues related to challenged pregnancies, vs
<br /> being more concerned about abortion.
<br /> Regarding pregnancies from sexual assaults, there is no argument here if a woman decides to terminate. The
<br /> psychological damage alone is horrific.
<br /> What many want to prevent is the slow creep of abortion procedures inching into the realm of"late term". It is a
<br /> difficult position for all involved, and being an advocate for the unborn comes with nothing but Love in our hearts.

<br /> During this time of attacks on women's reproductive rights, it is important that our community's voice is heard.
<br /> Women's right to determine whether or not to continue a pregnancy is solely their decision. I support this
<br /> resolution and thank the members of council who proposed it.

<br /> As a former resident of Lakewood, who still frequently works and socializes within city limits, I am ecstatic to hear
<br /> about this resolution's proposal. Lakewood residents, just like all Ohioans, deserve accessible abortion care
<br /> without shame, stigma, judgement, or obstacles. I'm glad to know Lakewood's elected officials feel the same, and
