Social Issue

Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. Until 1973 abortions were illegal in thirty states but that changed during the Supreme Court decisions Roe v. Wade. This case made abortions legal in all fifty states but gave them regulatory powers over when abortions could be performed.  On the poll from “What is your stance on abortion?” over thirty-two million people voted on whether they were Pro-choice or Pro-life. Overall  62% voted Pro-choice and 38% voted on Pro-life. In Illinois alone 36% voted Pro-life but 6% would allow an abortion in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child.  64% voted  Pro-choice and 4% voted on providing birth control, sex education, and more social services that will help reduce the number of abortions.  In Chicago, Illinois 28% voted Pro-life which is even less compared to the overall votes and the votes just in Illinois.  &2% voted Pro-choice but 4% of those votes still want birth control, sex education, more social services to be provided. On the Republican party 68% voted Pro-life which is the complete opposite of what overall votes, Illinois, and Chicago voted for. Only 32% of the republicans voted Pro-choice. On the other hand 88% of Democrats voted Pro-choice and 12% voted pro-life.
