A Woman's Right Jane Austen, an English novelist in the 1800’s believed that women were not fine ladies but rational creatures who at times want to go against the norm. A woman should have the right over her own body because they should not always have to follow society’s rules. Bernie Sanders was one of the Democratic presidential candidates and he was pro-choice. Currently in the U.S abortion is legal but restricted depending on the state. Bernie proposed that a woman should be able to decide what to do with her body.

If the woman was able to have an abortion she would not have to rely on the government to raise her child but republicans would still not be satisfied with the result because the child was killed. Because this policy involves killing an unborn baby it is not supported by religious affiliated people and the republican party. The republican party believes that an unborn child has the right to life like any other American. They are against it because the republican party is made up of very conservative people who believe each person is responsible for themselves. Pro-life people believe that people who are for abortion are murders or assisting in murder. Due to all these conflicts funding for abortions are limited to women who get pregnant due to rape, incent, or the baby is endangering their life. Which leads to women having to pay
