This paper is based on the Republican point of view on various issues such as abortion, taxes, immigration, military spending, and gun control. A Republican’s point of view on abortion is rooted around the idea that an unborn child is legally considered an individual and has the right to live. A Republican believes that taxation should be lowered to help promote big businesses and the wealthy. Republicans believe that all immigrants should have to be a legal citizen before they can live in the United States. Military spending is viewed by the Republican party as an important need. They believe we should have a high budget for our military. The Republicans believe that every American has the right to own, carry, and use a firearm. Abortion is a very controversial topic that has been discussed and debated by both political parties, and is the murdering of an innocent unborn child. Republicans believe that all lives matter, and claim that abortion is the murder of an American citizen. Section One of the fourteenth amendment claims,“ All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any …show more content…
They believe that in the wake of war a military spending budget is the most useful tool. The Republicans also believe that cuts in the budget causes the personnel to have low morale, and lowers the ability of the military to prepare for problems. Public opinion on the military spending is very divided. Thirty seven percent of the nation believes that military spending should be decreased, while twenty percent say it should be increased. Trent Franks once said, “Of all government expenditures, defense spending is the... most stimulative to the
One of the most controversial topics over the years, and still today, is abortion. Is abortion murder or not? When does a fetus become a human? There are no answers to these questions. Everyone individual has their own beliefs on whether or not abortion is justifiable. Abortions have been performed throughout many of centuries. Recently, there has been a number of court cases that has changed the legality of abortions, especially in the United States, for example Roe v. Wade. Even religions have changed their views on abortions over the course of the years. In the abortions wars there are two parties, pro-life and pro-choice. Pro-life believes that abortion is murder and is completely immoral. Pro-choice,
After the American states drafted the Constitution, there were conflicting ideas concerning how the states should be governed. Some believed that a strong federal government should wield most of the governing powers, but there was another group that opposed a strong federal government. This group, known as the Republicans, believed that the majority of governing powers should reside in state legislatures. Republicans felt that the powers of the federal government should be limited, and the Republicans believed that the Constitution supported this idea.
The Republican Party think that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections should apply to unborn children and the unborn child should have the fundamental right to life. However, the Democratic Party strongly disagree with this idea to a fundamental right to life. “Democrats stand behind the right of every woman to choose. [They] believe it is a constitutional liberty” (Democratic Party Platform). They fully support a woman’s right to make decision regarding her own pregnancy and health. Abortion is a personal decision between a woman and her doctors, therefore it is not a place for the government to get in the way. While the Democratic Party is pro-choice, they believe that abortion should be safe, legal, and rare. These two widely different stances on the issue stem primarily from religious and moral influence. Abortion is not an issue that can be played in the middle. There is one side or the other, and people make their choices based on their morals and religious preferences.
Besides the legal aspect of abortion there is also the ethical side. In the pro-choice argument, it is understood that the fetus is viable once born; it does not consider conception as the beginning of life. The Constitution states “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside,” (U. S. Const. art. XIV, § 1) thus, the pro-life argument about the ‘unborn’ fetus should not exist. The fetus’ are technically unborn and therefore, the question of ‘right to live’ should not
Public opinion on the military budget has been divided for years. Surveys have previously shown a large number of Americans believing the nation spends too much on the military, others seem to be happy with the current levels of military spending and a small number saying they think the government spends too little. Now that spending has been cut, the public is more divided on the issue than it has been in decades. This makes the issue of military spending a particularly hot-button issue for the newly elected Republican
. The Republicans believe that abortion are rooted firmly in the belief that an unborn child, similar to any person in this nation, has an individual right to life that ought not be encroached upon by others .The party adamantly believes that the rights ensured to all Americans in the Fourteenth Amendment apply to unborn kids also. On the other hand, the Democrats believe firmly in a woman’s right to decide whether or not to abort a pregnancy. The Democratic views on abortion strongly support Roe vs. Wade, and include a woman being given the right to abort a pregnancy regardless of whether or not she is able to pay for it. They believe that "fetus removal is an individual choice between a lady, her family, her specialist, and her ministry;
Abortion is a very debatable topic and both parties have very conflicting views on it. Republicans refuse to put any money toward the movement of abortion and are pro-life. On the website www.OnTheIssues.com, it says “Faithful to the
On October 19, 2017, the Senate approved a budget that would aid Republican efforts to create tax cuts in a vote of 51-49. In essence, this budget would expand the federal deficit by 1.5 trillion dollars over a span of 10 years. According to Republicans, the intent of these tax cuts is to create more jobs as well as providing more income to Americans as a whole. However, many Democrats are starkly opposed to this budget because of how it will increase the federal deficit as well as reducing the potency of federal revenue provided by taxes. With the budget being approved by the Senate, it is now up to the House to adopt its version of the budget to officially make it into law.
There are two main political parties that dominate politics in the in the United States: The Democratic and Republic Parties. It turns out that these two political parties are opposed to each other on a wide range of issues that affect American public life. Unfortunately, many Americans are unaware of these differences between the two parties and tend to vote their officials into office in an uneducated manner. This often results in the political gridlock that often characterize government business in Washington. The Republican and Democratic Party don 't have much in common but they do have a a lot of things that they oppose from each other. Some issues that both parties have in common support the death penalty. But on issues like abortion Democrats think that should be made legal while Republicans think that it should be illegal. In this essay, I shall examine the ideological positions of either party on a number of these issues in order to define my own allegiance towards either of them.
Since the beginning of their inception the Republican and Democrats have had a great divide on their perceptions of what is best for this great nation of ours. Republicans and democrats are distinct in several ways above all in their ideas, politics and world views. Republicans seem to be known as conventional or cautious and they seem to embrace economic equity beyond any other thing. Whereas a Democrat seems to be more open minded and they stand for government supported programs. The purpose of the paper is to analyze, compare and contrast the two parties positions on the issues of same sex marriage, race based affirmative action and illegal immigration.
The political history of Texas shows Democratic Party as a leading party in the Texas until 1960s. After 1960s, table rotated and Republican Party started holding major status in the government which leads Texas as a two party state. Today, Texas Republican Party and Texas Democratic Party are the major two part of the state. The majority of state’s cities support republican whereas the capital city and other major city remain Democratic. The both of the party have their own policy to work on different issues. Their policy is different but their agenda is general maintenance of the state as well as the nation. This paper will discuss where each of the party stances on the issues likes immigration, abortion and health care. Each of the party has their own policy to look over these issues and a way to improvise in this field.
Democrats and Republicans share many similar aspects. Such similarities noted are due to their ideology that the economic state of the United States requires renewal. There is also noted that from both parties they aim to bring back the “American Dream.” Differences from each party are witnessed by the direction of responsibility placed upon failures of each to cause such problems as the economic decline. By this basis, the Democratic Party has stepped forward to saying the problem lies with the two wars we have been placed in by our previous administration.
I found an interesting article from just prior to the election on MSNBC that gave scenarios which so many Americans believed possible about the future of leadership in both parties. Had the Republicans lost their strong hold that they now possess the leadership of the Republican Party would have acknowledge that they played a key part in losing the election and the house, “he (Trump) would expect party officials and GOP leaders to pay the price for his failure”. The lack of unity and the failure of the Republican leadership during the campaign showed how torn they are as a party with the current political situation. We as citizens have much more impact on our local government than on the national politics of our country. If we want to create
The argument of abortion has been raging since the Supreme Court case, Roe vs. Wade, in 1973. This court case has divided the country into two factions: pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-life advocates argue that abortions are murder and extreme levels of child abuse. While pro-choice advocates believe abortions are a justifiable means to end pregnancies. The pro-choice argument is that the fetus is not yet a human being and its rights should not override that of the mother’s.
When it comes to this decision it is possible for an individual support abortion on a political level but against it on a personal level. It all has to do with their morals and values that can come from religion, family, friends, knowledge and experience. Many Americans say, “Murder is wrong.” But what we have to think about the thousands of woman who end up pregnant as a result of rape or incest. The purpose of an abortion is to act as a life saver for both the mother and child. It has been estimated that before abortion was legal, about one million women per year had went through illegal abortions. Many of those women have died. To save a woman’s life, we must keep abortion legal.
