  1. Should abortion be legal in the United States? By: Rachel DiGeorge

  2. Literature Review • Bussell and Wilmoth argue that frequency rates for mental risks following legal abortions in the U.S. should be viewed with limitless thought. Also, they talk about the causes of psychological illness post abortion. • Danigelis and Stricklerstate that Catholic religion declines as a predictor of abortion attitudes, while religious fundamentalism and political liberalism increase. Whites were more approving of abortion than blacks, that design had reversed by the late 1980s. After monitoring other factors, older people are more compliant of abortion. • Granberg states that support was detected for the ideas that disapproval to abortion is extremely common in lower strata, that resistance to abortion reproduces a traditional approach to politics, and that opposition to abortion is part of a disapproval in women's freedom. • Plinerand Yatesdiscuss the emotional and legal issues in minors' rights to abortion in the U.S. They state that a minor female does have the right to an abortion, but the minor's right is more restricted. The basis for those limitations have been forced in the law's belief that minors are immature and not capable to give am agreement to experience a medical procedure, such as an abortion. • Joffelooks at abortion in the U.S. as of 2013, aiming on the period since the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, which made abortion legal. It examines the costs and benefits of the conclusion from a pro-choice perspective. It states that thousands of deaths and injuries from failed abortions have been prohibited. The author investigates how the abortion issue has affected U.S. politics, as well as strengthening the Republican Party's base. It evaluates the role played by abortion and other women's health issues in the 2012 re-election of U.S. President Barack Obama. It gives access to abortion facilities that it has become a class issue; wealthier women are having easier access to safe abortions.
