Abortion

Introduction

Abortion is classified as significant issues in the context of the contemporary global environment. In the western society the issue regarding abortion is predominantly discussed in the American society, where it has a significant societal influence. America is one of the most involved and proactive countries in the social debate regarding the issue of abortion. Abortion is basically the choice made by a female, to termite the developing human fetus and chooses to live her life in an independent manner. In an individualistic perspective this can be identified as the personal choice of the female. However the issue is not this simple. Rather it has several complex factors associated, which involve multiple stakeholders (Meyer & Staggenborg, 2008). Considering the religious and the pro life factors present in the American community, the dilemma become highly controversial in nature. It is due to this reason that even after the ongoing debate for decade, the issue is still present in the American society. The social policies developed for this issue are taken in substantially different perspective by the various section of the society.

This is the reason why the social policy will always be perceived in a completely different perspective in the various regions of the country, as the diverse sections of the population have completely different mindsets and ideological beliefs.

The religiously oriented American population hence opposes any pro-abortion social policy suggested or introduced by the government authorities.

The religious factions can be identified as the biggest hurdle and opposition for the abortion social movement in America, and in the traditional perspective it is due to these reasons that the country did not develop abortion policies. This debate did not become very intense in the traditional perspective as it was confined primarily in eth American society.

Rather it is currently the global leader in terms of the rights of freedom and the supporter of various global social movements.
