Donald Trump's Abortion Debate

Last Friday at the conclusion of a campaign event in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump stated that President Obama was born in the United States. A very good thing, a ‘yuge’ gesture on his part, if you will, isn’t it? Perhaps it could be if Trump hadn’t then gone on to also say the his opponent Hillary Clinton was the person who originated the ridiculous claims that President Obama’s birth certificate was a fraud during her 2008 presidential campaign, thus beginning the infamous ‘Birther Movement’. In an opinion piece from The New York Times, columnist Gail Collins shares her thoughts on this matter. Through her knowledge about the issue, Collins is able to make a very convincing argument regarding it. After reading the piece, I am able to identify three different arguments from three different points of view.

The issue of Abortions has been a controversy for years now. There are two main groups for this problem, Pro-Life, and Pro-Choice. Pro-Life supports the human rights of life should be embraced, by religion and ethics. Pro-choice is when someone wants to make this choice without no remorse of human life, but because someone wants no part of it raising one.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has signed into a law a bill banning abortions beyond the 20-week age of gestation, but he struck down the much stricter “heartbeat bill.”

Americans recently elected a new president. As some people expected, there have been some changes made to our health care bill, government funding, tax reform and more changes are proposed but have not passed yet. Donald Trump, a new American president, have a different opinion about health care structure and funding in the United States than previous president Barak Obama. Some of the reforms proposed by Trump since he took over the office, such as Obamacare repeal, failed to pass earlier this year. According to Caldwell (2017), “Senate Republicans failed to pass a pared-down Obamacare repeal bill early Friday on a vote of 49-51 that saw three of their own dramatically break ranks”. A social institution,

After researching both sides of the debate on the acceptability of the US Government funding Planned Parenthood, I have affirmed my initial support for government funding. The evidence that assured my support revolved around the consequences defunding Planned Parenthood would cause and the general lack of empirical evidence against Planned Parenthood. The majority of the opposition object to funding planned parenthood for moral and religious reasons. Overall, I feel more damage would be done by defunding the organization.

On October 19th, 2016 the last presidential debate took place between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. On the same day, there was a viewing party hosted by a local healthcare clinic for its employees and whomever else they wanted to include. The viewing party was open to all employees of this healthcare group ranging from janitors, to accountants, and physicians. The party was held at a local event space with the ability to host approximately 100 people. The event was easily at capacity on the evening of the party. The audience was made up of primarily females between the ages of 30-50. Approximately half of the women brought their children. The children’s ages ranged from infancy to 20. The ethnicities of the audience varied from Asian American,

Abortion is an extremely controversial topic throughout the nation. There are many reasons about why it should be legal, or why it should not be, and it is fairly equal when it comes to what side people are on. Two political officials talk on behalf of the topic and express their viewpoint and opinions on the touchy issue. They discuss whether abortion should be restricted. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio gives a speech at the Susan B. Anthony List Campaign for Life Gala addressing that abortion is moral, economically, and politically wrong and unjustifiable. Then there is always another side to the argument, which Texas Representative Wendy Davis supports and believes that the new abortion bill should not be signed because of the amounts of unnecessary restrictions being put on people and organizations.

The U.S. Senate blocked a bill to defund Planned Parenthood and channel federal dollars to other health care providers and community health centers that do not perform abortions on Monday.

I have chosen to write about abortion and its role in the third presidential debate of 2016. To begin, we need to understand abortion and how it is received in the United States before we try to understand how the current candidates addressed abortion. Abortion has been a hot button topic in the United States since Roe vs. Wade in 1973 when criminalizing abortion was considered unconstitutional under the Due Process clause of the 14th amendment. This trial created a nationwide debate on not only the legalization of abortion but also the restrictions and regulations.

The State of Massachusetts passed the Reproductive Health Care Facilities Act in 2000, and amended the act in 2007. The original act was created in response to the numerous conflicting public demonstrations between abortion opponents and advocates of abortion rights that frequently occurred outside clinics where abortions were performed. The Act in 2000 stated that within an 18 feet radius of an entrance and driveway of a reproductive health care facility, no one was allowed to approach another person within

The reason I have decided to touch on such a controversial topic, is because it has been pertinent since the many debates between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. I felt it was only right to apprise you on the topic. There has been a copious amounts of misconceptions and Hillary has been judged and criticized for voting against a ban on late-term and partial-birth abortions. As most people are educated about Roe v. Wade. It clearly states, the mother’s health are to be taken into account. I believe Donald Trump made the statement, “you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month on the final day” (Donald Trump, 2016). Late term abortions for healthy mothers and their unborn children does not happen. “To put it in

The discussion that started in class on October 14, 2012 was in response to the issue of abortion, since both Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan being Catholics were asked what their position on abortion was and how their views on abortion as Catholics would affect how their administration would deal with the issue of abortion. Biden�s answer was what I found to be quite diplomatic since he one hand stated that he accepted his church�s position on abortion, yet at the same time claimed that just because he has certain views on abortion doesn�t mean he has the right to enforce his beliefs on others who don�t adhere to his faith. Ryan�s response to the question of abortion started out with him saying that he doesn�t see how he can separate his private life from his

A priest in Texas is currently being investigated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Amarillo after he posted a video online showing him placing an aborted fetus on the altar in his call against abortion.

According to the “Anti-abortion protesters hope for change under Donald Trump article”, women and men who join the “March for life” are protesting change for the abortion laws. The author gives different views of people’s opinion about Trump banning abortions, and explains Trumps plans to do for the pro-life justice supreme court and Republican government. Anti-abortionist is working together of getting rid of “Roe v Wade” by making it become known worldwide. As for Donald trump, his plans for “Roe v Wade” is to get rid of the law by “defunding Planned Parenthood” that allows any clinics to not perform abortions. Even though I’m against abortion, I do feel

It is and always should be a woman’s right what she wants to do with her body. The article I chose was originally about the protests at University of Missouri but it called into question President Obama’s view on abortion, which I agree with. I am pro-choice when it comes to abortion because there is no 100% effective contraception, sex should not bear the responsibility of a pregnancy, and because rape if often exempt but an unplanned pregnancy isn’t.
