Abstract
A woman should be allowed to do what is necessary for their body and their life without fearing repercussion or retaliation. The overturn of Roe vs. Wade by the supreme court causes women to fear their own safety when regarding having a child, even if parenthood is not best for the individual. This paper looks at the overturn of Roe vs, Wade and how it violates consequentialist ethics, projects an increase in maternal death rates, and is going to be a key deciding point in the up-and-coming presidential election, as history could repeat itself.
