Abstract

The recent overturn of Roe v. Wade as along with Planned Parenthood of Southern Pennsylvania v. Casey has put hundreds of millions of women’s lives at risks. The anti-abortion side believe that it is wrong and cruel to kill a “baby” that has developed heartbeats, and could potentially live outside of the womb. The pro-abortion side, on the other hand, holds that a woman has the constitutional and human right to make the decision that is best for her and that those pregnencies which happened due to rape or incest should not be held against a woman’s will. Women who reside in states with abortion bans are seeking ways to get abortions, with the U.K. being a popular option. There are also women who do not have enough funds to get abortion, including student atheletes. While the coaches are trying their best to help the student atheletes, NCAA has yet to announce their decisions regarding ways to help pregnant atheletes seeking for abortion.
