Effects of Medical and Political Views on Abortion. How do medical professionals and politicians think differently about abortion? Ever since former President Trump went into office in 2016, over the years, he started to attack the rights of abortion. “I was able to kill Roe v. Wade,” Trump said. Many states on the Republican spectrum of the political scale have used popular sovereignty (people's voice) to choose if the medical profession should allow the medical process of completing an abortion or not. In contrast, abortion has different effects on medical and political ideas. This essay will begin with the medical professionals' point of view on access to abortion. It’ll go into depth on how abortions can be medically necessary for any …show more content…

With abortion being banned in some states, it’s hard for medical staff to help pregnant women with any pregnancy-related problems. According to Wolters Kluwer, “medical personnel worsened their ability to manage pregnancy-related emergencies, and 40% of OB-GYNs practicing in abortion-restrictive states felt constrained in their ability to manage miscarriages and pregnancy-related medical emergencies,” according to Balch. With this, and with pregnancy emergencies, doctors struggle to be able to take care of their patients and be able to keep the women and the fetus alive. So what does this mean? In certain states, doctors can be sentenced to jail for performing an abortion. In 13 states (red), there is a jail sentence for an abortion that is performed 20-22 weeks after conception. In about 4 states (orange), there will be jail time if there is an abortion completed within 24 weeks of the third trimester. There is a civil penalty for abortions up to 6 weeks and a fine of up to $10,000 in damages in 2 states (yellow). In 5 states (green), there is no jail time if there is an abortion after 18 weeks. Finally, in 26 states, including Washington DC, there are Federal and/or state law limits on …show more content…

There are 2 different parties for politics: there's the Democratic party, and then there's the Republican party after the Republican party's downfall after the Democrats won the 2020 presidential election. Therefore, Republicans are now starting to rethink their decisions on how they view abortion. Republicans are failing on abortion rights, as Democrats are embracing abortion as a top 2024 issue. Republicans admit that “abortion rights are a huge challenge for them in 2024.” Five candidates, Gov. Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Gov. Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Sen. Tim Scott, attended an NBC debate in Miami on November 8, 2023. Florida came up with five different positions for the extent to which abortion should be allowed, or whether the federal government or the states should adjudicate the issue. On the other hand, Niki Haley is a former South Carolina Governor, “No Republican president can ban abortions as much as I am pro-life, I don’t judge anyone for being pro-choice,” Haley said. In contrast, ever since, Democrats have gotten more attention for the 2024

The national Democratic Party’s ambivalent position towards abortion drove many evangelicals and fundamentalist Christians into the Republican camp, whom became an important part of the party’s base of support. Reversing a pattern of nearly forty years of official party support, the Republican Party became increasingly more pro-life while the more liberal Democratic Party became strongly pro-choice (Adams 1997). As it is seen in modern presidential races today, the polarization is almost complete. It is almost impossible for a pro-life Democrat or a pro-choice Republican to advance within the American political system. In the nation as a whole, opinion has remained consistently deadlocked, and abortion will continue to be a divisive issue in the United States for many years to

Abortion is a sensitive topic for women. Abortion law affects the vote expectation of the election as the presidential candidates have opposing viewpoints. Both of the presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are pro-life, but their beliefs are completely opposite.

Many people question the morality of abortion and several religious aspects come into play about the legalization of abortion. However, the separation of church and state makes any religious aspect invalid when it comes to legalizing anything. Furthermore, Democrats feel that abortion can be justified in cases such as rape or when a woman’s health is endangered and even teen pregnancy, so women should have the right to an abortion. Though deciding to get an abortion can be a very difficult decision, Democrats have agreed that this decision should be between a woman and her doctor without government interference, specifically Republican men who will never be faced with this decision and have no medical experience. This is why Democrats call it “women’s right to choose” and not “Republican’s right to deny” when it comes to abortion since it is about women specifically.
