Content: It was this case that divided the nation into what are today known as pro-life and pro-choice beliefs, and prompted the inter-party debate on abortion that has been ongoing since the ruling. Abortion Alternatives
As a part of its beliefs on the issue, the Republican Party advocates for measures to be taken to prevent the need for abortion. The party supports an increase in educational funding to be used to teach abstinence in schools, to not only prevent unwanted pregnancies but to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and infections as well. In relation to this, republicans oppose school-based clinics to provide abortion, counseling, and contraception, as they believe this money would be better spent on abstinence education. The Republican Party also supports efforts to improve the foster care system, as well as efforts to increase funding to family services. Democrats vs Republicans on Abortion
Many democrats and other pro-abortion groups color republicans as anti-women’s-rights, or as being callous on the issues of women’s freedoms. This is especially common in cases where republicans are against abortion in cases of rape or birth defect. However, most republicans are not against women’s rights, they are simply defending the rights that they believe the unborn child has. They seek to provide women with unwanted pregnancies with whatever support they can, as long as it does not infringe on another’s (in this case, the child’s) rights. However, this coloring of pro-life republicans as women haters has definitely affected the party’s support from the female demographic.
