Abortion. It seems that the decision made on this issue is primarily men. I think that it is wrong for men to tell women what they can and can't do to their bodies. Women do not tell men what they can and can't do to their bodies.
Why should a man be able to tell a woman what she can or can't do? Abortion should be the choice of the woman. Although I do not think that clinics should do abortions after the 2nd month that a woman is pregnant. The party that is most opposed to the topic of abortion is the Republican party. The Republicans would like to promote abstinence and adoption rather than abortion or even just birth control. This is where the religious part of them comes out. Some of these people believe that once the sperm and the egg meet, they zygote is considered a living thing. Well yes it is living, but then again so are all cells. A zygote to me is not yet considered a baby a living thing, yes, but not a baby just dna. A baby should be considered a baby after 2 months when it develops a heartbeat. The Democrat party goes more towards pro-choice. Pro-choice gives the woman the decision to choose what she wants to do with her body. I think this is the better decision because it should not be anybody's place to decide for a single individual in the case of the persons body. Personally politics should not be involved in this topic and should be decided upon the insurance companies and the women. If some of the Republican party decided that birth control was a good idea then maybe women would not be going out to get abortions. But since religious Republicans do not like the idea of birth control, many women go and get pregnant and don't want the baby and abort it since birth control is not allowed.
