Political Ideology: Abortion, Gun Control, And Climate Change

One of the strongest arguments for abortion is the government has no right to interfere with a woman’s reproductive health decisions. The United States is not ruled by God, and the constitution is a non-religious document which affords us a right to privacy. The Supreme Court agreed with this argument as evident by their decision in the Roe vs. Wade case of 1973. Seven Supreme Court justices ruled in favor of Roe while two dissented. Blackmun, one of the justices in favor, based his decision on three arguments: First, abortion laws were originally intended to protect the mother, not the fetus. Second, abortion procedures were improved and safer. Finally, the fetus had not been granted legal status as a person. The following excerpt is from “Roe vs Wade: Abortion and a Woman’s Right to Privacy” by Melissa Higgins. “Regarding the Fourteenth Amendment, Texas’s abortion law violated the due process clause, which protects a person’s right to privacy from state action. This included a woman’s right to end her pregnancy. On this point, Blackmun wrote,

For me I believe Trump is the absolute best choice, and Clinton is by far the worst choice. As a strong conservative there are three things I strongly believe in, Gun control, Abortion, and Immigration.

When you tell a toddler that they can’t have a cookie, even though they initially did not care about whether or not they could consume the cookie, suddenly they cannot stop thinking about that cookie they can no longer have. This is natural human response occurs in adults as well as children. So as you would expect, although 47% of women have declared themselves pro-choice (Saad "Americans Misjudge U.S. Abortion Views"), according to a study in 2011, only 1.7% of women aged 15–44 had an abortion (Jones and Jerman "Abortion Incidence and Service Availability In the United States, 2011"). These statistics show that even though most women who support the pro-choice movement are unlikely to have an abortion, they still believe that those women who choose to have an abortion should have the right to make a decision for her own body. A woman should have the right to make choices for her own body because separation of church and state prevents religion from being used as a way to limit women 's rights and no one, especially not men or the government, is as qualified as a medical professional when it comes to making medical recommendations and diagnostics. Even though there could be an argument that fetal personhood is subjective based on religion as to whether or not abortion can be considered murder, philosopher, Immanuel Kant can dispute that argument with his moral theory on what makes someone human.

The Controversial issue that gets to me the most is gun control. A lot of people make it about politics but it should be all a moral issue. Yes the government has to get involved but only to issue a license. Even though right now the government gives out license to people who take several tests to carry a concealed weapon but that is not in every state. And even if you have It, it’s only for that one state that you took it in it is illegal in any other state.

One of the most controversial topics in America is abortion. In medical terms, “an abortion is the premature exit of the products of conception (the fetus, fetal membranes, and placenta) from the uterus” (Medicine Net). All around the world, the practice of abortions has been widely used to control a woman’s reproduction. The polarizing, emotional debate on abortion has been an ongoing issue that still exists today. People’s different perspectives and opinion on whether or not abortion is immoral continue to divide America into two groups: “Pro-choice” and “Pro-life”. However, pro-life advocates tend to focus more on the fetus rather than how abortion and programs have actually benefited the mother and families. There is hypocrisy in people who identify themselves as “pro-life” and the word itself can be misleading as it does not align with the true values of protecting a life.

One idea supported by the people or political party I generally oppose is that the women of the United States should not have the license to legal abortion, even in cases of rape or incest. Accordingly, this anti-abortion stance is customarily coupled with religious convictions. However, ordinary citizens and legislators should not be able to legally impose their religious views onto American women. I acknowledge the moral defense for the “pro-life” movement and the rights of the unborn child. However, women of the United States America have the right to be independent of religious and pious condemnation and to be unrestrained when choosing the services concerning their reproductive welfare. U.S. abortion laws ought not jeopardize the health

Many outsiders see the United States as a place of peace and harmony. But for those who live within it, know that it is the complete opposite. The United States has numerous amounts of worldwide problems from the economy to obesity to even pollution. Although some are more important than others doesn’t mean the small issues should go unnoticed. Abortion, the termination of pregnancy is considered a problem by many but also reflected as nonfactor to others opinion. In my opinion, I believe abortion is a growing problem and the people of the United States fail to apprehend it. The actual termination of the pregnancy could leave the mother suffering from a serious illness or even be fatal.

Abortion in the United States is a major topic of debate in United States politics. People today frequently hear the terms pro-choice and pro-life, which represent the liberal and conservative views on this issue, respectively. First made illegal in the late 1800s, the federal government did not rule that abortion was legal again until the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973. Despite this ruling, citizens still fight for women’s ability to terminate their pregnancies as they face legislature that is making it increasingly harder to do so in the United States. The events surrounding the Roe vs. Wade decision of 1973, its causes and effects, were sparked by differences in ideologies and views about how abortion should be handled by

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics in the United States. It is a topic that not everyone can agree on. It is also a big topic of debate in elections. Abortion is the ending of pregnancy through the removal or forcing out from the womb of a fetus or embryo before it is able to survive on its own. Abortion has been around for thousands of years. According to Findlaw there were no laws regarding abortion until the 1800’s in the United States. Feminist argue that anti-abortion legislation was a backlash against the suffrage and birth control movements and a challenge to the midwives that provided most of healthcare to woman at that time. By 1880 all states had laws criminalizing abortion except to save the life of the mother. The

As Sam Brownback once quoted, “Unborn children do not have a voice, but they are young members of the human family. It is time to look at the unborn child, and recognize that it is really a young human, who can feel pain and should be treated with care.” In America alone, more than half of pregnancies among American woman are unintended, and about seven out of ten of these 500,000 unintended pregnancies are terminated by abortion each year in America. In today’s modern American culture, many consider an unborn fetus a non-life form; however, an unborn fetus possesses many, if not all, characteristics of life.

First I write about the topic that I feel the strongest about, which is gun control. As we all know gun control simply means laws or policies that are created in order to stop the use, manufacture and sale of guns. The Second Amendment to the Constitution Says that this gives us the right to carry a weapon for self-defense and protection of our families. In 2007 according to the national institute of justice said that at least 45 percent of people living in the United States own a weapon and have it at home. Also those around 294 guns were in circulation in the United States and that 67 percent of them used them for self defense and the protection of their families, others just used it for sport like hunting and target shooting. In 1968 efforts were made by making a gun control act that gave police officers and any other type of law enforcement more power to regulate the use of firearms to prevent crime. The act of 1968 made it illegal to sell firearms or ammunition to

Abortion is one of the biggest, controversial issues in the United States. In today’s fsociety it 's almost split in half, 44% of people are pro life making 66% pro choice. With those stats, that shows us how close this world wide this issue is, and how this isn’t one outcome that is clear enough to be right. In my personal opinion I am pro choice, most of the time but sometimes I feel myself being pro life. This topic is so touchy and for a good reason. Babies and life, what everyone in the world love, no wonder why it’s such a strong topic.

According to bbc news “Planned Parenthood is a healthcare non-profit-making group with 59 affiliates and 700 clinics around the US, some of which provide abortion services” (Lussenhop, 2015). To expand on this quote, nonprofit is exactly what it sounds like. It is an organization that did not establish for the purpose of money making. This group was organized to provide advice and even offer abortion services to women all around the United States. In recent news abortion has stirred up many controversial arguments. Within these controversies on the media, people have cited with pro-choice and pro-life parties. Each side argues for themselves. Pro-life is opposing abortion, meaning they do not believe abortion should be a choice. Another party we will be looking into is the pro-choice side of the war. “The pro-choice movement and abortion providers are in the business of protecting and respecting women 's human rights, their moral autonomy, and their choices”(Arthur, 2000) Pro-choice is the exact opposite of pro-life and they believe strongly in letting people decide for themselves. Manipulation of language is something to really take into consideration when reading about the different parties within Planned Parenthood.

The controversy of abortion is an important component to US politics. Even with the Republican Party now more relevant, the American anti-abortion movement isn’t gaining much momentum. More women are jumping into the medical profession. President Obama has already appointed two liberal Supreme Court justices, and he’s a known pro- choice. The new national health reform law (Obamacare) encourages states to expand Medicaid coverage for all parts of reproductive health care.

We may all want the same things in life, but in the end, everyone has different opinions on how to create change in the world. Different beliefs tend to be the main problem when trying to prevent other problems from happening. Every American should be held accountable for their actions and be limited to government help. This will prevent people from taking advantage of government help when they really don’t need it. Topics such as, Abortion, Gun-Control, and War on Terror/Terrorism should not be argued, they should be called to action for being one of the many problematic issues in America. In order to succeed and gain freedom, all must work hard on their own to achieve their own
