Republican Views On Abortion

Abortion is the deliberate killing of the weakest and most defenseless among us. Unfortunately, for the last few decades, the practice has been recognized as a fundamental human right by the highest court of the land. American culture has become increasingly accepting of traditional values and principles being compromised. Political correctness now replaces ethics, self-reliance is replaced by dependency, and crudeness now takes the place of knowledgeability. Today’s culture is corrupt and morally depraved, and there is no other topic that demonstrates this better than abortion.

Abortion is known as ending pregnancy by removing the fetus before it survives outside the uterus. Also known as a miscarriage. Abortion is currently legal in the united states of America. However, individual states can limit the use of abortions which would make the abortions illegal.

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.

Are most republicans pro-life and are most democrats pro-choice? The meaning of pro-life is the concept a person believes that abortion is wrong and everyone no matter how big or small has the right to live. While the meaning of pro-choice is the concept a person believes that abortion should be legal and a private decision between a woman and her physician. Many individuals have the belief that “tradionialists” republicans are pro-life and “modernists” democratics are pro- choice. What if that is not the case? In this research that I am conducting I am observing and questioning this popular opinion to see if this is true or false. This is an important

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

The Democratic Party believes that “abortion should be safe, legal, and rare” (2). They believe that the government should not be involved in the women’s decision to abortion and that the only people that should be involved is the women, her clergy, her family, and her doctor. They believe in stem cell research due to the fact that “Stem cell therapy offers hope to more than 100 million Americans who have serious illnesses from Alzheimer’s to heart disease to juvenile diabetes to Parkinson’s. We will pursue their research under the strictest ethical guidelines, but we will not walk away from the chance to save lives and reduce human suffering” (2). They also believe in contraceptive research, family planning, family life education, and policies

One of the most controversial topics in politics is abortion. In class, we talked about the different type of abortions there are and the many different opinions that people may have about them. We also discussed the many reasons why a woman may choose to have an abortion. And surprisingly, what I thought I knew about them was completely wrong. Thus since learning about the reasons why one may get an abortion, I have changed my opinion on the topic and I was curious to find out what my mom’s opinion may be because abortions were not something that we had discussed before. Also, I thought it would be interesting to see if our opinions differed dramatically since most of our values come from our parents. Overall, my mother was in support of

Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. The subject of weather or not abortion should be permissible has came into question. A liberal's belief would be that a women has the right to decide what happens with her body. The decision to have an abortion is a personal choice of a women regarding her own body and the government should protect that right. A conservative's belief would be that abortion is the murder of a human being. That women should not be able to abort their unborn child. The liberal veiwpoint is correct in this topic of interest. A woman should have the right to have an abortion. If a child is not wanted then that child should be aborted. Why bring a child into the world that is not wanted and loved? If the

Abortion for many years now has been a very controversial topic politically and culturally. Democrats are considered to be pro-choice for women rights to abortion, while the Republicans are against abortion due to their conservative culture. Women's right to have abortions have been violated by both state and federal government laws. Laws regulating women's right to an abortion is unconstitutional because the laws prohibits women from making their own decision whether or not to have an abortion performed. Women should have the right to an abortion with out any regulations by the state and federal governments because they may not be able to financial support the child or it may been an

In most abortion cases, it was just a mistake made by two people. They should have to deal with their mistakes, but that shouldn’t include ruining any chances in life. I suppose I can conclude that I follow the democratic view on abortion.

George Lakoff has a very unique was of looking at moral politics. He attempts to dissect the views of the liberal party and the views of the conservative parties in today’s society. Liberals believe that the government should take action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all. The liberal party claims the duty of the government is to alleviate social problems and to protect civil liberties and human rights. Also, they believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. The need for the government to solve problems is what the liberal party emphasizes on. On the other hand, Conservatives believe in a system made of personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. A conservative generally believes the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals but to not get in the way of personal freedom. Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems on their own. Both sides being so completely opposite raises the question of which of the two views is correct for handling different aspects in society such as taxes, abortion, capital punishment etc? Lakoff’s two models known as the strict father model and the nurturant family model strive to relate the conservative and liberal views to explain how a conservative and liberal would

For most of the late history about abortion, aborting an early pregnancy have been considered a private matter and was not considered a crime. The people did not believe human life was present during pregnancy, as time went on and technology advances the knowledge about the fetus have increased. “There are three main views: first, the extreme conservative view (held by the Catholic Church); second, the extreme liberal view, and third, moderate views which lie between both extremes” (http://www.iep.utm.edu/abortion/#SH1a). The conservative views abortion as inhuman and want to abolish abortion altogether, while the extreme liberal believe that women have the right to abort the child, and the moderate is like a bystander they do not pick a side.

Abortion is one of the most disputable issues discussed all over the world today. Several decades ago abortion was considered only a social issue, but now situation has changed and it has also a political and ethical issue attached to it as well. Arguments against pro- choice are typically biased; overlook the fact that the legalization of it benefits the health of women, and deny women the right to do what they want with their bodies. Thus, the main aim of this paper is to discuss the pro-choice view on abortion while analyzing the opinions of other authors in this paper.

You sent the text somewhere near the end of the meeting. You weren’t looking at the time. You were looking at the positive pregnancy test, lying flat in you palm. You hated the thing. You didn't know whether to hurl it across the room or nestle it close to your heart. Pregnant. A cluster of cells that would one day be a human were growing inside you. You stared down at the stick, fire burning at the back of your mouth. The familiar feeling of nausea thundered up your throat. You turned, emptying the contents of your hollow stomach into the toilet bowl. You hadn’t eaten all day. Everything you ingested was regurgitated by your body moments later. You cast your eyes back to the test, fingernails gripping the toilet seat. An innocent little pee stick that could destroy or complete someone’s life.

The protection of innocent human life is a fundamental stance of the Republican Party of Texas. Their Right to Life states that “All innocent human life must be respected and safeguarded from fertilization to natural death; therefore, the unborn, the aged, and the physically or mentally challenged have a fundamental individual right to life, which cannot be infringed.” It goes against abortion, arguing that human life begins at fertilization, not birth, and that we cannot take away a person’s right to life until natural death. Those that are pro-abortion argue that life starts at birth, and the mother has a right to her own body, so she can decide whether the baby lives. This is in direct violation of the Republican Party, because the life of the baby starts after fertilization, and it has
