For decades women have been trying to settle between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice laws and regulations. This battle plays a big role in the dilemma of reproductive rights because it decides whether women are allowed to have a legal abortion or if they have to carry the fetus to full term.

"Reproductive rights" are the rights of individuals to decide whether to reproduce and have reproductive health. This may include an individual's right to plan a family, terminate a pregnancy, use contraceptives, learn about sex education in public schools, and gain access to reproductive health services."

The problem is significant to our society today because our adoption and foster care system is overflowing with children in need of homes, our hospitals are becoming filled with women who have had illegal, "black market" abortions, women feel they do not have control over their body, and our contraceptive and health care rates are reaching an all time low.

The current status of this ethical dilemma in our society is still very relevant. Many bills have been passed on the topic of abortion and are being presented to the legislature but not every bill is what the people want. Some are not fully thought through or scientifically correct. A bill has recently been passed called the "Heartbeat" bill. It states that the use of any abortion method will not be allowed if a fetal heartbeat is detected. "There is no scientific basis for prohibiting a woman from obtaining an abortion whether there is or isn't a heartbeat present" (Schumaker, Erin. "Republicans' New 'Heartbeat' Abortion Bill Is Based On Bad Science."The Huffington Post. TheHuffingtonPost.com, 21 Jan. 2017. Web. 06 May 2017.) This ban is upsetting many of people because women cannot control what happens with their body. There has been many protests and marches in the recent months to stand up for what we believe in.

The solution that I believe would be best for this dilemma would be to let women control what happens to their body. Of course the battle between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice advocates will continue  but maybe if we allow others to do what they feel is best for themselves the rate of maternal deaths will decrease, unsafe and illegal abortions will decrease, and the rate of drug use while pregnant will decrease. "A total of 21 million unsafe abortions were performed in 2008, accounting for 13 percent of maternal deaths worldwide...unsafe abortions can involve self-inflicted bodily trauma, ingesting chemicals or dangerous drugs, or relying on people without formal training to perform abortions..." (Schumaker, Erin. "Republicans' New 'Heartbeat' Abortion Bill Is Based On Bad Science."The Huffington Post. TheHuffingtonPost.com, 21 Jan. 2017. Web. 06 May 2017.). By banning abortions it will only create bigger problems for the health care and fostering systems. If 21 million unsafe abortions were performed while it is legal, just imagine how the number will multiply when it is no longer legal.

How does this dilemma related to Brave New World?

This ethical dilemma relates to Brave New World because the women in the novel are not allowed to physically reproduce children. The fetuses are produced in test tubes and are watched closely by employees of the World State. "The operation undergone voluntarily for the good of society...continued with some account of the technique for preserving the excised ovary alive and actively developing..." (Huxley 5). The world state believes that they are creating the "perfect" life for both women and men. In the novel a woman named Linda is considered to be a "savage" because she gave birth to a child. ""Turned into a savage," She shouted. "Having young ones like an animal...if it hadn't been for you I might have gone to be an inspector, I might have gone away..." (Huxley 127). For Linda there was no choice whether or not to have her son, she had to give birth and is now view as an outcast. With bills and laws that are being created and passed in our society, women soon wont have the choice to either carry a child or not. Children are also being genetically modified and are able to be fertilized in a test tube just like the fetuses in the novel.
