Presidential Campaign 2000
In the presidential campaign for the year 2000, there are a small number of men running for the spot, and all these men have different opinions on different issues. In this paper, some of the issues and opinions of Ralph Nader from the Green Party, Al Gore from the Democratic Party and Republican George W. Bush have been highlighted.
To start off, the issue of Abortion is big these days. Do we let women do it or not? Democratic Candidate Al Gore personally opposes abortion, but thinks that it is up to the woman if she wants to abort her baby. Al Gore does not think that it is the governments right to tell women what they can and cannot do about it. "You're not going to stop abortions," Gore said.
Unlike Gore, Republican Candidate George W. Bush is pro life with the exception of baby by rape, incest and the life of the mother. He has set the goal that all children should be welcomed in life and protected by law. Bush supports efforts to increase adoptions and opposes it and calls it “doctor assisted suicide”. He believes the role of a doctor is to relieve pain and suffering, not to end life.
Green Party Candidate Ralph Nader says that his run doesn’t affect abortion rights, and that “we should work toward preventing the necessity of abortion”. He vaguely says that he thinks that women should privately decide to use RU-486 if they want to and that the government should not decide for them.
My view on abortion is that it is up to the mother whether she wants to do it or not. It all depends on the situation. I think that if the baby is conceived due to rape or incest, then it is ok to abort it, but if the baby is made due to carelessness, then it is the parents’ responsibility to take care of it. Adoption is always an option.
The next issue is gun control in the United States. Vice President Al Gore is for gun control. He thinks that we should focus on gun safety, not hunters & sportsmen and that we should restrict guns from wrong hands, not sportsmen & homeowners. He thinks that there should be gun licensing by states, but no registration and that there should be no special lawsuit protection for gun makers. Gore wants mandatory background checks before the gun is sold and child safety locks.
As I mentioned earlier, I am indecisive to being Republican or Democrat, because there are some things that I support and some things I do not support on both sides. These things include abortion rights, death penalty, gun control, education, and welfare. For rights on abortion, the Democratic Party favors it while the Republican Party opposes it. I favor the Democrats Party on abortion rights. According to the article, “Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs”, “A woman has the right to decide what happens with her body… The decision to have an abortion is a personal choice of a woman regarding her own body and the government must protect this right”. In my opinion certain situations such as rape could cause a woman to become pregnant and to have an abortion, and I believe that it is the women’s decision to either keep the baby or not. As for the death penalty, the Democratic Party opposes ...
Social security is another important issue. George Bush will set aside 2.4 trillion for all workers to invest individually. This will raise the average social security income by three times. With Gore's plan, you spend more money, and it only increases the life of social security for 55 years, Bush’s increases it's life indefinitely.
Termination of pregnancy: My values regarding most things in life tend to very liberal in nature despite growing up in a conservative community. I believe that every woman has the right to choose to either continue to their pregnancy or end it. I believe that this is a deeply personal choice that only the person in the situation can make. I believe that if a woman chooses to end their pregnancy than this is their choice to make and shouldn’t be shun for doing so. In some circumstances women will choose to terminate a pregnancy for health reasons or the pregnancy is a result of a sexual assault. However, whatever the reason this this is a decision that a woman must decide for themselves and their own values in life.
their vote, and a hole is punched into a ballot where the space for the
George W. Bush was against abortion. We know this because he has said that he didn’t like abortion. He also tries to sway people opinions on this matter by saying that he thinks things such as the abortion pill aren’t safe for women to use and that it may harm them. This may put doubt in some peoples mind if that is really what’s best for them.
Abortion is a practice that many find immoral. This medical procedure allows a woman to terminate a pregnancy within the first few weeks. This issue has caused an uproar from both sides, to consider the question of the morality of the issue. While watching John Oliver, I have found some statements, made by him, explaining why abortion is important and why he is pro-choice. He claims that abortion is ok in certain circumstance, especially rape, the possibility of death, and or defects to the mother or baby. But ultimately, he thinks whatever the reason, the woman can choose to terminate. He also claims that it is within her rights to make such a decision.
From Abraham Lincoln to Barack Obama, all politicians have the same mindset. They all want to convince the public of their ideas and beliefs. These people are so good at what they do, they may convince citizens of beliefs they never thought they ever would. Most people will never understand how Germans could agree with what their own country was doing during World War 2, however, they never had the personal influence of Adolf Hitler. Not many people want to have King Jong-un as their leader, but the people in North Korea love him. Whether it is good or bad they do their best and Al Gore is no different from the other politicians in the world. His goal was to convince the world of the impossible. Since the beginning of
His view on abortion states that abortion should not be permitted or allowed because it is morally...
Mother Theresa once said, “If we accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, rather, to use violence to get what they want” (Ward). Ronald Reagan also once stated, “I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born” (Kurtzman). These widely known Pro-life advocates support the idea that abortion unjustly takes the life of a defenseless human being. The Roe vs. Wade case in 1973 legalized abortion, thus sparking the match to a never ending debate. Pro-life advocates believe that women should not be given the right to an abortion. Giving women the right to an abortion is similar to giving serial killers the right to murder whomever they want. Abortions lead to various health and psychological effects.
Al Gore has stated his position on a number of issues; some of his position more important are in education, health care, taxes, and Social Security.
Adoption is always an option, and a much better alternative to murder. Yes, a woman does have a choice, but there is always one morally right way to go when considering an abortion, and it is simply to just not have one.... ... middle of paper ... ... “In everyday life, men and women make decisions that affect the life and death of existing people.
In the documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, former presidential nominee Al Gore illuminates the detrimental effects of global warming. Throughout the documentary, Gore discusses the scientific opinion on global warming, which at the time was considered to be a taboo, and argues that, though an “inconvenient truth,” global warming is an actual, catastrophic issue. He states that global warming “is not really a political issue, so much as a moral one.” In addition, Gore contends that global warming is human-caused and specifically emphasizes America’s harmful contributions to its catastrophic dangers. As a result, Gore challenges his viewers to take action in joining the efforts to reduce the long term effects of global warming.
Our Nation was built on the ideas of freedom and independence. With that concept, I believe that our government needs to trust that women have the capability to choose what is best for their future. Our society should respect women’s independence and grant them the freedom to decide what is right. This issue is important to me because history has shown that restricting abortions, not only undermines women, but can also be very dangerous.
President Obama strongly believes that every woman should have her own decision when it relates to their body. President Obama also believes that he should protect the woman’s freedom to make the choices she wants to make that will be at the best interest for her and her family. President Obama wants to reassure that the government will not interfere with the private and personal family matters of a woman. President Obama strongly wants the decision of an abortion to be left between the woman, her family, and her doctor. He also feels as if he is committed to making sure everyone involved has the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as all others. He also wants to be fair to make sure that parents’ daughters feel like they have the same privileges as the sons in this
There are hundreds of couples all over the world who can’t conceive a child and would be willing to . Instead of killing the baby, they can give the child a second chance by giving it to a couple who will love them and give them a good home. Therefore, I believe abortion is not the way a mother should handle the problem.
