The biggest question to ask according to Marco Rubio is how to resolve the conflict between the right to choose and the right to live – two fundamental rights – which are in conflict with each other. Marco Rubio acknowledged, “The fact of the matter is that we as a society, as a nation, on a political level, have always understood that my rights, as important as they may be, end where the rights of others begin.” Women's right to choose ends when they choose to end the life of an innocent person. This person has the right to live. Women's rights end where children's rights begin. There have been several court cases over abortions. The two most famous cases are Roe v. Wade and Stenberg v. Carhart. In Roe v. Wade the choice went in favor of Roe. That said, women have the right to terminate a pregnancy before signs of viability appear. Feasibility is such a vague term. Vitality is when someone can support themselves. As Marco Rubio pointed out, some 19-year-olds are not viable. There needs to be universal proof of when life begins for this case to make sense. The case Stenberg v. Carhart overturned a Nebraska law on partial-birth abortion. This law allowed a partial birth then the child was killed by the doctor. When the court struck down the law there were critics, but there were also people who agreed with the court. Society must decide which right is more important, the right to choose or the right to do
