Over the past few weeks I have been discussing how pro-choice and pro-life supporters could compromise on some ideas to help reduce the number of abortions that occur per year. In the past few blogs I came to the conclusion that most pro-choice supporters do not necessarily want women to get abortions. They just advocate that women should have the right to choose.
In theory if everyone (pro-choice and pro-life supporters) all had the same views, morals, ethics, and religious beliefs, then they would either all believe that abortion should either be illegal or that it should be legal. However, legistion is passed based on logical facts not beliefs. My opinion is that abortion can be reduced, but I do not believe it will become illegal.
Out of all the political topics and arguments today, I believe that the abortion argument contains more polarized viewpoints than any other political argument. It is also the political topic that people get more emotionally involved in. While I do not believe these sides will ever come to a complete consensus, I do believe that the sides can work to compromise. This is what my blog has been discussing. Even over the past weeks I have researched new legislation that Democrats are supporting to help reduce the number of abortions, such as the Pregnant Women Support Act. This proves that even thought the two sides are very polarized, they can come to an agreement about abortion needing to be reduced.
