Today, America prides itself on being a tolerant country. Through laws and legislation, including affirmative action, anti hate-crime laws, and movements against racial discrimination, America sees itself as a country that offers equal opportunities to people of all size, shape, and color.

This sets up a standard that clearly favors one resolution over another, restricts the reproductive choices of young women, and forces some to bear children that they do not want to bear.

It wasn’t until about sophomore year in high school that I started questioning every topic that came up in politics or society. Slowly my heavy conservative feeling became less.
