Many of the arguments made by the pro-life team take a moral, ethical, or religious standpoint in their persuasion of others. In order for us to gain a more objective look at the debate with real-world pros and cons, the moral, ethical, and/or religious arguments will not be covered. Abortion has been a topic of controversy in America for almost two hundred years. The earliest known instance of conflict occurred in 1821 when Connecticut outlawed the selling of poisons used to induce abortion in women (Abortion ProCon.org). In 1845, New York began the trend of slapping legal consequences for women who have abortions.
In this way the powerless often wrestle concessions from the powerful. Protests can be violent or peaceful, but either way they are a way to get one’s voice and opinion heard. In an example of this, the hit TV-show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has an episode entitled “Charlie wants an Abortion”, and it goes through the characters (Charlie, Mac, Dennis, and Dee; who are also the producers) opinions and stances on the abortion laws in our country. The episode starts by Charlie having to get a paternity test to prove that he's not the father of his old flame's ill-behaved son, meanwhile, Mac and Dennis feign being against abortion so they can pick up women. The producers don’t directly come out and state their views, but have the characters divide into the two sides of the debate (pro-choice and pro-life) and partake in protests outside of abortion clinics.

Michael Tiliakos 3/19/10 Entry 10 Arms Unfolded: The search for common ground on abortion By: TODD DAVID WHITMORE In the essay “Arms Unfolded: The search for common ground on abortion”, Todd Whitmore writes about the pros and cons of abortion; pro-life vs. pro-choice. Someone would think that there is no common ground for people who support abortion from people who do not, but in this essay it is found that because pro-choice does not necessarily mean pro-abortion that both sides can come to conclusions in which they both agree on. Todd Whitmore states points on both sides of the argument in an attempt to mediate between the pros and cons of abortion. Once you get down to it there is one thing both sides have in common.

A Historical Perspective: Clinton Administration v. Obama Administration & Their Associated Healthcare Policies Ashlee R. Hall PAD 510: Politics, Policy, & Ethics in the Public Sector Professor Beth Cox October 23rd, 2011 ASSIGNMENT #1: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Among the various presidential administrations in the history of the United States, two are particularly interesting in their attempts to create a universal healthcare policy. The Clinton Administration following the Obama Administration has both aimed to construct a universal health care policy that would meet the needs of the public in their specific time. During the Clinton presidency, he made several attempts to implement a universal health care for all but did not succeed for many reasons. He advocated for many different policies and programs but healthcare reform seemed to be at the forefront of his platform.

Such as, Viagra commercials during a football game or Boniva commercials during daytime talk shows. Some believe that this is causing individuals to go to their doctor and demand they check them for said ailment and prescribe them a medication to cure them. This is not the case. Yes, the pharmaceutical companies are trying to get their medications known, they are not trying to diagnose every individual who has these symptoms. The FDA requires that all commercials list the side effects and that the individual discuss with a doctor prior to trying said medication.
Explain what universal health care could be, and my experience with the health care expansion. The recent health care reform measure has expanded and inhibited access to health care. The health care reform was signed into legislation as The Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010 by President Obama. The law is to give people with no health care a chance to obtain health care affordably. It also helps individuals with preexisting conditions to be covered as well.
Even though 42% of Americans favor it and want to keep it in place. Although 47% of Americans favor repealing it (Gallup.com, 2012). It will all be up to Republicans and Democrats, whether the law will be kept in place. Debate over the Affordable Care Act has focused largely on its implications for the role of the federal government in American society. Americans remain divided on whether it is the federal government's responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare.
It has become a fashionable trending topic in the world today pertaining to the legalization of drugs weather they should be legal or not. The government came up with the solution “The U.S drug policy” to prevent the rapid increase of drugs these past decades. But I personally feel that the government should not focus on trying to band and get rid of drugs and focus more on the people that use them. Also if the government is going to restrict drugs they should restrict all of them . Another thing is drugs have both positive and negative affects to them .
