Position paper How do liberals and conservatives feel about abortion? Liberals say that a women has the right to choose what she does to her baby and body. They believe that a fetus is not a human life until birth, so it does not have any rights. The government should fund abortions for any women that cannot afford the procedure. They believe that it’s the women’s personal choice to do as she pleases with her own body and the government has to protect this right of the women.
Conservatives believe that the human life begins at conception and that abortion is murder and that opposed taxpayers are funding abortion. We should not have to fund abortion, because we do not believe in abortion. And that there should …show more content…
Why do you ask? I am pro-life and I believe that as soon as the baby is conceived and the mother knows that she is pregnant the baby or fetus is a human being like we are.

Conservatives agree that the second amendments gives us the right to keep and bear arms. In which we have to defend ourselves. There are already lots of gun laws out in the United States. Although all the additional laws of gun control have been added this will still not lower the gun crime rates. They believe that gun control laws do not prevent any criminal from obtaining one. And that more enforcing in the current laws and more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens means less crime. Liberals believe that the second amendment does not give citizens the right to keep nor bear arms. They believe only the states should be allowed to keep guns in the National Guard. Liberals think that citizens do not need guns for their protection, because it is the role of the local and federal to protect the people through our law enforcement agencies and military. They believe that all these laws are necessary to stop gun violence and limit the criminals obtaining
