Roe v Wade

This Blog is written by my Friend, who hails from the USA, he mention here about what he gains from the case Roe v. Wade.

I urge you all to give a read to this with the hope that you all will like it.


"Hello again, it’s been a while since I’ve had anything put up on here but now I’m here! As you may have heard the US has decided to drop a ruling preventing individual states from completely making abortion illegal, at any stage in pregnancy. So now, we have all these southern, republican dominated states, making laws that make abortions as illegal, completely preventing an abortion at any state in pregnancy. Wanna know what this means? Well, now women can’t have complete autonomy over their own body, make the choices that are best suited for their own lives. Now, the person whom isn’t even alive, has rights over someone who is already in the waking world and actually has an impact to those around them.

For some context, there was a 10 year old girl who was raped and had gotten pregnant due to that, she currently was living in a state that limited the ability to have an abortion. Having a kid at that age, can be fatal for the mother not alone the impact that would have on someone so young, so to get said abortion she had to travel into another state and because of that conversations about new legislation has started. Legislation that would prevent women who are pregnant from traveling over state lines, this is horrific for many reasons. Why does someone have to travel just to get basic medical care, why do we care what someone else does with their own life as this child affect only one person – the mother? At a base level I find it hard to understand why we must have laws and legislation that only affects one person, but we have laws that allow you to carry firearms, things that are used to affect OTHER things besides one’s self. But that, is a conversation for another time…

To get back on track, there has been a phrase going around these more recent days, “Guns have more rights than women” in the US. Even if it is a bit extreme, I whole heartedly agree with it. Guns can be purchased by anyone with an ID (even earlier than your allowed to drink alcohol mind you) and depending on the state, without a background check. Where as a women, a living person, has less control over their own body than someone else has rights to weapons. Again, I have to stress, an unborn child only affects one person, the mother, so I can’t understand why there needs to be ANY form of regulation on abortions, people who are currently living hold precedent as they have a family that cares for them, people they know, where a UNBORN child has none of these things. So why control someone else when it doesn’t affect you? 

You do not have the right to control another person when their actions only affect themselves and do not affect those around them, it is absurd to control someone based on something that doesn’t even exist yet. I am appalled by the choices the US supreme court has made, it feels like any progress we’ve made in the last two decades is slipping away, what's next? Women’s rights to vote?"

From My Soul to Yours: A Letter of Friendship

I don’t know how to start; I’m so blank. I’m at home while writing this because college has ended.  Yesterday, I felt like writing something about the five years that I had spent with my friends. So, I've never missed someone as much as I miss them. It feels like a piece of my heart has gone somewhere. So here I go. I know all of you, Kastury, Jyoti, Maya, and Sakshi, will read this open letter.   Guys,  It’s a beautiful journey with all of you. It's a journey where I find comfort. The love you gave was commendable.   The journey with Maya can’t be explained; she was my roommate, and the time we spent was awesome. The late-night talks about random stuff, sometimes dancing together on the room balcony – oh my god, it was fun. The best part is that Jyoti, Kastury, and Sakshi were our neighbors. So, it has become even more beautiful, he-he, thanks to the warden. So, In the beginning, we were not 5; we were 12. But with time, it broke, but these 5 remaine...

"We rise by lifting others"

Hi all! I hope you all are doing well and good. After garnering a lot of courage, I'm writing this blog. Please do give it a read. So, I have seen scores of people who oppose reservation because they think it is unnecessary and it should not be given. Here goes My story !’ I hail from Agra, Uttar Pradesh, born and brought up in an urban area unlike my dad who born and raised in Rural area.  My father wasn’t able to complete his higher education because his father i.e. my grandfather didn’t believe in Education. And the reason behind it was that education at that time for a family like us was not a necessity but a luxury, they didn’t have enough money for their children’s education. But my father really wanted to study and gain knowledge. So, we belong to Scheduled caste and in my village, mostly higher caste people were educated. My father was always intrigued and wanted to have conversation with them and sit with them so as to gain knowledge from those people. But th...

  I am a 3rd-year student of B.A.LL.B. As of now, I don’t have any achievements like no certificates, no debates, and no national moots. But Yes, I have one achievement and that is I am in the law field. I want to explain why and how I chose this Law field. I did my HSC from the science stream and cleared JEE mains. During the JEE mains counseling, I felt that I never wanted to be an engineer. I told my father that I want to do something for my country's justice system so I decided to become a lawyer and this field suits me because I have one quality that I can fight until and unless I get justice done. I want to thank my father for giving me a chance to live my dream. He empowered me to pursue my dreams. After I prepared for CLAT and I got a college. As I am from a middle-class family and have no contacts in the law field, a lot of people suggested that without contacts I won't be able to do anything in this field, but I believe they are wrong. Each time someone asks me what I...
