Abortion is a highly controversial topic discussed in America. Many people argue the decision of an abortion is entirely up to the parent a.k.a pro-choice or if abortion should just be illegal a.k.a pro-life. There are many circumstances to take into consideration when determining why someone is a supporter of pro-choice or pro-life such as where you live or what your financial situation is. In Illinois, 36% of the population is pro-life and 64% is pro-choice. Pro-life supporters note they are pro-life with the exception of rape. People who are pro-choice argue that the government has no right to ban it and that with additional resources such as sex ed and social services will decrease the chance to opt for an abortion. For people who receive an annual income of $25K or less, 38% are pro-life and 62% are pro-choice. It is predictable that the majority of the people in this category are pro-choice because of their financial situation. If a parent has less money they will not be able to take care of their children or themselves which would lead them to opt for an abortion. If a parent is in a more stable financial situation they would obviously be able to take care of their children and themselves because they can afford to. For Republicans, 68% are pro-life and 32% are pro-choice. As you can see, the majority of Republicans are pro-life. Many Republicans argue that it is just morally wrong and is considered murder. They also want to create and push services that help people avoid the situation of getting an abortion such as sex education and birth control.
