In God's Image: Abortion In America
Ever since 1821, when the first law regarding abortion was enacted, the discussion of abortion has been prevalent in our society, one that has been always deeply connected to religion. The right to life gained more attention especially through Roe V. Wade, a Supreme Court Case which allowed women the right to terminate a pregnancy. Since that court case, the rhetoric surrounding abortion has escalated into one of our most intense political discourses. With the a strong distinction between the religious and non-religious. Many have fought over whether or not it is just to use your religious beliefs to substantiate your argument against abortion. Congress currently faces the dilemma between passing a law to prohibit abortion, or to allow abortion to continue as it is. Conversely, the dispute between pro-life and pro-choice has escalated, becoming one of the most talked about issues in our political sphere today.
