Abortion in American politics has been a major issue for decades. The reason why it has been a major issue is because of the political parties and their unwillingness to come to a compromise. The Democrats, whom are mostly liberal, say that abortion is a civil right and the Republican, whom are mostly conservative, say that abortion should be illegal.

The Republican Party acts as the expert and the women act as the public. The GOP believes that these policies about abortion, violence against women, etc would better our community.

HOPE’s Woes Affecting Students The HOPE scholarship is a valuable asset in the Georgia education program. It provides a chance at education for those who wouldn’t normally make it. During the years of the economic crash, the governor made cuts statewide to compensate. One of the most costly cuts was in education which affected the HOPE scholarship.
