The legislation addressing the social issue of abortion is a paramount interest to me because I am a pro-life supporter. I understand that as of 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion in all fifty states. Therefore, I’m not completely fighting against abortion but rather the pro-life versus pro-choice aspect of it. Although I’m pro-life, certain situations are necessary to get an abortion like rape, hazard to health of the mother or child and incest. Here in Georgia, the polls

The majority in cases from Texas and Georgia said that the decision to end a pregnancy during the first three months belongs to the woman and her doctor. Not the government. Too many the debate over the concerns of abortion begin with Roe vs Wade, but the controversy has been with us for centuries. Ancient cultures addressed it. Even Plato and Aristotle spoke of terminating pregnancies both for and against depending on
The social issues regarding abortion and immigration are not easy topics to discuss and are constantly in headliners and subjects for legal battles. Before attending college, the topics of abortion and immigration were not discussed in my public schools and therefore I did not have much knowledge on the subject.

Abortion is a social and political issue in which we control our lives as women. Controlling our bodies clearly shows that this means the right to bear children as well as the right not to. The Supreme Court ruled that women have the right to abortion. In the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, the state cannot restrict abortion and it is the woman and the doctor’s decision to be made.

Abortion is a social and political issue that many people worldwide feel strongly about. Although the thought of “killing” another human being sounds horrific, it may be the only choice. The question that is often asked, does a woman have the right to choose what happens to her unborn child.
