Paul Ryan Thinks What

Paul Ryan Thinks What Womens Health protester via http://guerillawomentn.blogspot.com/2010/04/tell-gov-bredesen-to-respect-womens.html Abortion is a very complicated topic due to various reasons such as religious opinions, scientific outlooks, and the specific situation of the female pregnant. Paul Ryan’s views on abortion are very extreme compared to many other republican candidates. Ryan thinks that abortion should be illegal, which is a common belief, but his view is even more extreme because he thinks abortions should be considered illegal even in situations of rape, incest, or in cases that jeopardize a woman’s health. Ryan is in favor of both the Protect Life Act and the Sanctity of Human Life Act. The Protect Life Act allows doctors and surgeons to deny a woman from an abortion in a federally funded hospital even in the case of needing to save her life.   The Sanctity of Human Life Act is a bill, which classifies fertilized eggs as humans. Its result is that it will result in criminalizing various kinds of birth controls as well as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Ryan’s views are not only extreme but also, does he understand what the repercussions of his actions can be? By trying to defund Planned Parenthood, contraceptives, and STD and cancer screenings for low-income women, he is not considering the effect this can have. The outcome will be an increase in teenage pregnancy, increases in STD’s, and a lower survival rate for cancer victims.   These are problems we have fought so hard against, so we must join together to protect women’s health rights.
