Abortion, and women's rights overall, have been tested lately, and are coming into play in the 2014 midterm elections. Democrats are hoping to portray the other party as callous to women, while Republicans hope to excite their main supporters with new bills. Aware that many of their candidates, such as Todd Akin for example, have hit a sour note on women's rights and health care, Republicans aim to show voters how taxpayers would be the ones paying for these abortions and birth control pills.
In this class, we will study political parties under Unit 2. Then we will learn about the differences in the main two, and the way that they show up in the media. Their main beliefs define them, and we will study just what those are. It seems as if each party is complete in their belief on women's health care rights, but we will learn that not every Republican is the same, and vice versa.
Many Republicans do indeed seem to be indifferent towards women, disregarding the circumstances that may cause the women in question to need an abortion. Although I understand that not all Republicans are like this, I do agree that they seem heartless on this subject.
