Abortion and Birth Control
Abortion is an issue in the United States that spreads ethics, morality, law, science, and religion. The different perspectives for viewing the abortion issue have caused a fragmented and emotional landscape. The Supreme Court's decision on Roe v. Wade in 1973 and other opinions has essentially defined the country's current position on abortion as legal but subject to state restrictions. This topic includes information about candidate positions on: public funding for abortions, the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, sex education in schools, the use of federal funds for family planning organizations, and the legality of abortion procedures.
