Abortion

For years the morality of abortion has been questioned and under debate by society. Abortion is the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in its death. The debate over this issue differentiates with the two most popular political parties. For the most part, there is a pro-choice consensus among the political base of the Democrats, allowing the party to maintain a consistent platform in affirming a woman's right to have an abortion. Within the Republican Party, the issue has proved far more contentious - many of the more moderate and independent Republicans lean toward a pro-choice position, while the more conservative wing of the party is more pro-life. Barak Obama is working towards preserving the women's choice and protecting her rights under Roe v Wade. In July 2007 Obama agreed to sign the Freedom of Choice Act if he were elected President, allowing women to have the right to choose nation-wide. However, this act may cause the elimination of catholic hospitals, creating a greater impact on our society. Is the Freedom of Choice Act essential to our country? Obama's promises to allow a women's choice nation-wide an McCain's pro-life ideals adds to the importance of the electoral election.
