already trashed the rights of life, liberty. and the pursuit of happiness. Womens' right to life is being jeopardized by forcing them to go through at risk pregnancies even if medical experts proclaim the fetus is no longer viable. Doctors aren't even allowed to use all treatment options to try and save the at risk woman, for fear they will lose their license or worse.

Not to mention they plan to take away some people's right to pursuit of happiness by enacting laws that would prevent some individuals the right to establish relationships that would make them happy.
