But legislators aside, where does the nation stand on all of this? Are we pro-choice or pro-life as a whole?
According to CBS News, years of polling have shown that Americans disagree on the issue. In fact, CBS News reports that a recent poll conducted by the Associated Press found that nearly 60 percent of Americans favor abortion legality in most, if not all, cases. However, 39 percent of people say that it should be outlawed. In addition, 45 percent of Americans took a positive stance in regards to Planned Parenthood, and 30 percent viewed it negatively.
At the end of the day, we can agree or disagree about whether or not abortion should be legal. But we must always remember the blessing of having the ability to voice our beliefs, no matter what they are. After all, some countries' citizens are forced to fight for the right to voice their opinions.
