One Greek gynecologist suggested that women should engage in energetic exercise, jumping, carrying heavy objects, and riding animals” (Mollienr1 1). Consistent with Roe v. Wade, the Democratic Party position on abortion is choice standing behind the right of every woman to choose regardless of ability to pay.

  • I Am Centerville, Neither Republican nor Democrat

    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 ...

  • Compare And Contrast Democrat And Republican Parties

    1306 Words  | 3 Pages

    In today's day in age, the Democratic and Republican parties seem to be completely diverse. These two parties have completely opposing views on topics ranging from social issues, health care, tax policy, labor and free trade, foreign policy, crime and capital punishment, energy and environmental issues, and even education. Once upon a time however, these two groups were not as polarized as they have become. Both were once a single party known as the Democratic-Republican Party, formed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1791. This sole party favored the idea of a decentralized, democratic government. They despised the idea of the U.S government becoming anything similar to England's monarchy system at the time. They also supported states’ rights as well as the literal and strict interpretation of the U.S Constitution. The group's purpose was to stand against the Federalists who were

  • Abortion In California

    706 Words  | 2 Pages

    Abortion is a controversial topic in today’s society as many opinions from different social groups on whether it should be legal or not create the big question: should the government be able to take away a woman’s reproductive right if it is to protect a fetus? In the United States particularly, much of the debate since the 1970s has focused on the Supreme Court case Roe v Wade, in which the court proclaimed women's’ rights to abortion but declared that the states could limit and regulate the procedure. That means that currently, the state of California allows abortions, but many groups against abortion, mostly called “pro-lifers,” still try to fight against it and want it banned. Women have a right to their own body and should

We must give these fetuses constitutional rights, to protect them, because born or not, they have unalienable rights.

  • A Stance on Abortion

    1013 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the most controversial issues in this day and age is the stance people take on abortion. The two main positions that people take are either of pro-choice or pro-life; both sides, although polar opposites, tend to refer to both the issue of morality and logical rationale. The pro-life side of the debate believes that abortion is an utterly immoral practice that should be abolished. On the contrary, abortion should remain a legal procedure because it is a reproductive right; its eradication would not only take away the pregnant person’s autonomy, but would also put more children in financially unstable homes and the adoption system, and would cause an increase in potentially fatal, unsafe abortions.
