Right Right Side of Wrong or The Wrong Side of Right?

Although this video was hard for me to watch as a person who supports pro-life I am not for defunding Planned Parenthood. But it’s not just about pro-life or pro-choice it is about the GOP and more specifically the GOP presidential candidates saying they will shut the government down like they did a few years back to stop government funding to Planned Parenthood. And although it is hard for me to keep my personal opinion out of this. I see a broader picture of how the GOP use abortion to simply get votes when it comes to their campaigns. Again something else I am not okay with. They use people’s ignorance, and their religious beliefs against them to get votes. The GOP knows people will vote for them simply on the fact that they are “Pro-Life”. Unfortunately people don’t know better and keep falling for the same trap and are throwing away their votes. Edelman states “A central theme of this analysis, then, is the diversity of meanings inherent in every social problem, stemming from the range of concerns of different groups, each eager to purse courses of action and call them solutions” What I think he is trying to say here is that politicians both Republican and Democrats alike, both see a problem but yet their solutions are completely different. Especially with we look at issues like abortion. I very specifically wanted to talk about this topic not abortion but Politicians using people beliefs against them, because not too long ago I was one of those people. When I was a very young child on a Christian TV channel I watched how an abortion was done. Not only was I taught that my religion said it was wrong but I saw it and it scared me for life. My father is also still one of these people who will vote no matter what or someone who is “pro-life” regardless of all of their other viewpoints. I had the same ideology as him and I know many other Christians who the same exact way. It is not right for politicians to use this to their advantage, rather they should educate the people on all the topics that they support.
