The Controversy Surrounding Abortion
As a whole, abortion remains as one of the most controversial issues in politics. There are many Americans who maintain that life begins at conception and believe that abortion is morally wrong. However, like McCarthy, many pro-life Americans also support exceptions in cases of rape, incest and danger of life to the mother. Not all conservatives favor the aforementioned exceptions, as seen by the Alabama abortion ban.
Americans on the other side of the aisle lean towards being pro-choice. Individuals of this mindset believe that each woman deserves the right to choose. This outlook has caused controversy, particularly regarding where to draw the line on abortion. Over the past few months, numerous individuals expressed concerns about extremely late-term abortions.
