Liz Cheney

The subject of abortion is regarded as one of the most divisive ones. Education of the public on the reasons for abortion is one of its goals. Contrarily, some people believe that because abortion is viewed as murder, it is morally wrong. The decision to ban abortions has had a significant influence on the Roe v. Wade legal dispute, which has divided the public. Some candidates have voiced opposition, while others are in support. Some individuals accept it in circumstances that they do not view as murder. Liz Cheney, my candidate, is against abortion and all justifications for it. Wyoming's lone representative in Congress is Liz Cheney, who represents the state in the US House of Representatives. She was given the chance to promote Republican ideas that would lessen regulations, decrease taxes, and promote job growth. Cheney believes that many young women have the ability to change the course of history and is an advocate for them. Cheney presided over the House of Representatives. Her most notable achievement was challenging Mike Enzi for the U. Senate seat in Wyoming back in 2014. She also successfully held her father's House of Representatives seat, which is a tremendous feat. Cheney is a very strong woman who is not afraid to speak up about her views on several topics, including abortion which has divided the nation.

Liz Cheney is a Republican who actively backs her party. Cheney's major point of contention is that people should defend democracy. Our democracy faces big challenges everyday and she wants to defend it against any threats. For example, “Cheney maintained that she is an ardent conservative on policy issues”, (Choi). This indicates that she values democracy highly and will continue to support the republican party. She has articulated the issues in a direct manner, demonstrating her willingness to do whatever is necessary to support her administration and the people. In addition, the Roe v. Wade decision's repeal divided the public's perspectives. Liz Cheney is pro-life and has pro-life views on abortion. Because of her beliefs and support for women, her opinions on abortion have shocked the internet. This indicates that she opposes abortion and will fight any attempts to defend it. For instance, “"always been strongly pro-life," and praising the Court's decision to return powers over abortion laws to states” (Liz Cheney Praised). This demonstrates Liz Cheney's support for Roe v. Wade's reversal and her belief that people should stand up for the weakest members of society. Because the fetus is still living, she believes that abortion is terrible and shouldn't be legal because it is seen as murder. Many Republicans and residents can agree with this assertion, which is why the majority of voters. Cheney feels she can benefit the nation with her viewpoints while having extremely strong opinions on some subjects. Reproductive rights have evolved over time and continue to be a problem for women. Women endured a great deal of pain merely to obtain equality and fundamental human rights that would allow them to lead normal lives. One of the major rights for which they had to battle and still do is the right to an unborn child. For example, “It was not until the 1960s, and the introduction of the birth control pill, that women could impede pregnancy for the first time by

views since earlier this year; a 60% majority say abortion should be illegal in most or all cases”, (Majority of the public). This demonstrates that Cheney has a lot of support for her views on abortion because the Republican party is likewise against it. Republicans are quite consistent in their choice, but now it really depends on each state separately. Every party has a position on political choices and Democratic party positions on abortion and what they would do are diametrically opposed. Liz Cheney is a member of the republican party, which has its own opinions on abortion. For instance, “Republican views on abortion are rooted firmly in the belief that an unborn child, like any individual in this country, has an individual right to life that should not be infringed upon by others”, (Republican Views on Abortion). The Republican Party is committed to the idea that the 14th Amendment extends to fetuses. Since there have been concerns about abortion, the Republican Party has been opposed to it. Because of what they fervently believe, just like Liz Cheney, the choice won't be reversed. Furthermore, “the Republican Party advocates for measures to be taken to prevent the need for abortion”, (Republican Views on Abortion). The Republican Party, like Cheney, will take all steps necessary to defeat any abortion-related initiatives Republican party will all think alike to solve a problem, and they believe that abortion is wrong. They think there are better alternatives, such as educating young individuals on how to avoid unintended pregnancies or enhancing foster care. Each party will usually be set on a decision they made as a group because it’s aligned with their beliefs and values. Therefore, the Republican Party is adamant about its position on abortion and won't accept any arguments in favor of it.

Her choice is being opposed by the Democratic party. Republicans and Democrats hold opposing stances on a number of subjects. Abortion-related issues have been a major issue recently due to the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. For instance, “Many democrats and other pro-abortion groups color republicans as anti-women’s-rights, or as being callous on the issues of women’s freedoms”, (Republican Views on Abortion). This is untrue since Liz Cheney has supported several women and young women, particularly because she thinks they will determine the future. Being against abortion does not automatically turn you against women's rights. Although Liz Cheney has done a lot for women and clearly supports them, she has a distinct stance on the issue of abortion rights. They undoubtedly think that every human being, including unborn children, has a right to exist. In addition, “While many republicans will argue that public opinion is on their side on the issue of abortion, many republicans have lost elections where women’s rights became prominent issues, seemingly because of their stance on abortion”, (Republican Views on Abortion). Republicans are concerned about this, especially Liz Cheney. Because of her stances on particular topics, Cheney failed in a Republican primary election. She will still work to fully restore the Republican Party despite this. She is quite proud of her opinions on abortion, but everyone has their own beliefs on other matters. Cheney won't let her viewpoint sway how she treats women in the future or how she performs in her government position. Liz Cheney, a congresswoman representing the United States, opposes abortion and rejects all justifications for it. Due to their views on abortion as well, the Republican Party concurs with her judgments. In addition, Roe vs. Wade is a big part of this debate about abortion. It has caused significant talk within the government and the citizens of the United States. On the
