Today will be a workday. We also talked about Big Bird. There is an add that came out against Mitt Romney. We went over our maps. Then we went into groups for out issues project. I have the topic of abortion and minimum wage.
Here is what I found:
ABORTION
- Obama thinks that there is both a moral and ethical side to this issue.
- Anyone who tried to deny the moral difficulties is not paying attention.
- He is pro-choice. He came to that conclusion not because he is pro-abortion but because he thinks that women seriously have to think about if they really want to do it.
- He wants to reduce the number of abortion.
- He is in favor of getting rid of late term abortions. UNLESS, the mother is in serious danger medically.
- He also thinks that if you believe that life begins at conception and you are consistent in that belief, then he cant argue with you on that. But he can say, is there a way that we can reduce unwanted pregnancies.
- How do we provide the resources that allow the woman to keep the child. He thinks that this can make a major difference.
- I support the Roe vs. Wade decision that even though the government will respect a women's health and reproductive freedom, the government will not intrude on private matters.
Romney Position on Abortion
- Previously opposed abortion but now is extremely opposed to it.
- Says that he is not one to impose his personal beliefs on others.
