Content: Abortion and The American People
Abortion is an issue that many Americans struggle to form an opinion on. Many of those who do form an opinion hold one that sits between the policies of Republicans and Democrats. It seems that a majority of Americans support keeping Roe vs. Wade as the reigning abortion ruling, but would like to see more restraints regarding what circumstances abortion is allowed under. The public has always been divided regarding abortion, but this divide has deepened and widened as political leaders have led the opinions of the two parties to diverge further over the issue. Between 1980 and 2008, the distance between the stances of Republicans and Democrats regarding abortion increased greatly. The public opinion, however, remained relatively stagnant. This means that it is becoming harder and harder as time goes by for voters to determine which party their opinions correlate with on the topic of abortion. Obama on Abortion
President Obama has long been a supporter of letting abortion be a woman’s choice. As a state senator he voted “present” on a bill urging doctors to provide life support to fetuses that survived an abortion and were not expected to survive on their own. His argument was the bill would have provided legal protection to a “pre-viable” infant, which is outside of the realm of constitutional protection.
