Abortion Pro-Choice
Abortion has been called one of America's "longest runningarguments, the issue that won't go away." I chose to write on abortionbecause I am a firm supporter of the pro-choice movement. While Ipersonally haven't been through it, I have helped to finance some of myfriends. I believe in a woman's right to freedom of choice. I am stronglyagainst the harsh acts that the pro-life activists have taken against doctorsand associates of abortion clinics. I also see no purpose in repealing the antipartial-birth abortion bill that President Clinton previously vetoed. Many States such as Texas, who first enacted their anti-abortion lawsin 1854, have repeatedly denied abortions to pregnant woman unless thereare health risks involved. However, there have been some exceptions suchas the Roe vs. Wade trial. The case was instituted in 1970 by Jane Roe, whosought judgment on her case against the District Attorney.

Sevendoctors were shot around the same time last year. This organization was created by people "who felt they needed a lobbyist inWashington, DC" to communicate the ideas of the pro-choice members. The NCAP(National Coalition for Abortion Providers) is just one group of the abortionpromoters that have banned together for the rights of American women. It is a day when all the pro-life members get together and "rally againstabortion. The ending vote was sixty-three to thirty-six which left it three votes short of the two-thirds majority needed for the override. " I believe it was said best by PlannedParenthood who stated, " the lack of health exceptions stands as a starkreminder that anti-choice sponsors of the bill would sacrifice the well-beingof this nation's women to accomplish their political agenda. The Senate passed the bill in May of 1997 where it was vetoed by Clinton inOctober of the same year. The Senate took a vote to override Clinton's vetothis past September.
