Anti-abortion plan ignores federal law The Reagan Administration has its own version of the Constitution. This version includes prayer in school despite the fact that the Founding Fathers separated the government from religion. This version also precludes a First Amendment, which is clearly not as strong as it was before Reagan took office. With a conservative Supreme Court, created in part by Reagan, the right to freedom of speech is being severely abridged. This version also omits the necessity for obeying taws. The highlight of the Reagan era and the height of its accordance (or lack thereof) with the law was the Ixan-Contra scandal. Diversion of funds and arms-for-hostages trades showed that the current administration has forgot that it is supposed to uphold the law. Now in Reagan's latest attempt to do as he pleases despite federal law, the current administration has decided to move ahead with controversial rules that prohibit federally-funded family planning programs from discussing abortion. They are supposed to forget this legal right exists. In 1973 the United States Supreme Court ruled abortion legal. The Reagan Administration has spent a good pan of the past eight years trying to overturn that decision. Reagan is currently attempting to overrule this legal decision by withdrawing federal resources from programs that discuss abortion with patients. These restrictions would not only prohibit the counselor in a federally- funded program from offering a woman her full range of options, including abortion, but the counselor also would be unable to refer a woman to any doctor (private or public) if she chose to terminate a pregnancy. Who these rules, which could carry the weight of law, will affect are women who cannot afford to see a private physician. Family planning programs still offer the best (and for many, the only) form of avoiding the abortion decision. Without adequate federal funds, these vital programs will certainly fail and As is consistent with the Reagan Administration s methods of using any means to attain their chosen ends, these new rules were created because other attempts to limit the legal right to an abortion, including an anti-abortion amendment, have failed. Whether you are for or against the right to have an abortion is not what is at issue here. What is at issue is Reagan's attempt to create his own "law of the land." All previous endeavors to limit or destroy the right to an abortion have failed The reason for this is obvious: A majority of American people want that right Whether the president likes it or not, people put him in office to uphold the government that the people have chosen—not what he wants lo choose for them. Reagan is trying to force his own code of living on a public that is able to decide for itself. The right to decide is what the Constitution guarantees and Reagan is trying to take that right away by ignoring existing court decisions and laws and creating his own "laws."
