One issue that has been going on for years in America is abortions. Recently the debate between pro-life and pro-choice has been getting hotter. Most pro-life are conservative republicans and pro-choice are usually liberal democrats. One of the reasons why abortion is such a hot topic is because it is not just an issue over money but over moral views. The government should not be in control of a woman's reproductive system. It is a woman's civil liberty to choose what she wants to do with her body and health. Taking away a woman's civil liberty would cause more chaos as opposed to abortion being an option. Republicans are also trying to cut federal money on organizations that provide women with STD testing and contraceptives. The reason behind that is that many republicans that are against abortion are also against contraception.
Many people who are pro-choice believe that abortion should be illegal because it takes away the life of a human being.
