Neo Orwellianism has reared its ugly head in our nation in the form of government, also
known as Big Brother, attempting to control women’s rights to their reproductive rights. Roe v.
Wade 1973 is the decision of the supreme court to protect a woman’s right whether to have an
abortion or not based on the 14th amendment. Even though it is a part of the constitution, all
states are allowed to pass bills to place restrictions on abortion. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, the
power to protect women will shift from the federal courts to the state courts, allowing states to
ban abortion completely. State governments such as Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky,
Ohio, and Mississippi have passed the fetal heartbeat bill not allowing abortions after 6 weeks.

any laws protecting their reproductive rights, and not just American women, but women seeking
asylum in America. In the case Garza v. Hargan, a 17 year old girl known as Jane Doe was sent
to a shelter operated by Trump administration while seeking asylum. She had found her own
money and transportation to get to a medical office yet Scott Lloyd and the federal government
agency would not let her leave, holding her hostage. Scott Lloyd, an anti-abortion activist, was
appointed by President Trump to lead the office of refugee resettlement. Lloyd’s first priority
was to block any girl under his purview from getting an abortion which was the official policy
for the agency under Lloyd’s control. Jane Doe was the first case discovered, but during the trial
there were 28 pages worth of Jane Doe’s who were not given the right to get an abortion while
abortions. By allowing President Trump to appoint people with specific views to different
government positions, he has the control to influence policy through these people. On the other
hand, there is turmoil on the state level as various different states that have passed the fetal
heartbeat bill. This will lead to an attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade, eliminating abortion which
