However, whether the decision would affect the rights of animals or not has not been considered by any official. This has raised a novel question that whether the time has come to grant the right to privacy and right to be let alone to animals? This right has not been recognized anywhere in any Constitution or any law in the world. Further, there is even no international agreement or convention that ensures the welfare and protection of animals. They only regulate the right of humans to exploit natural resources. They do not grant any right to animal species.

Protecting access to abortion effectuates vital constitutional values, including dignity, autonomy, equality, and bodily integrity. This is something central to a woman's life, to her dignity. It's a decision she must make for herself. And when government controls that decision for her, she's being treated as less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices. Without the right of reproductive choice, women cannot participate equally in the nation's social, political and economic life. Their freedom to decide whether and when to have children opens doors that would otherwise be closed. Through this paper, we have tried to address that how various arguments of pro-life supporters are wrong and how the arguments of pro-choice supporters are in accordance with the human conscience.
