Historical analysis explores abortion rights' moral and political divides in late 20th-century America, highlighting cultural conflicts.
The debate on abortion rights in America has a long history and has become a moral and political issue. After Roe V. Wade decision in 1973, the debate on abortion lead to the ongoing contradictions between the “pro-choice” and the “pro-life”. The two sides hold totally different moralities and values on abortion, and sparkled the culture war on abortion rights. In the culture war, radical feminists strongly support abortion rights, showing their resistance to the patriarchal society, while the traditional Americans insisted on traditional moralities and values, expressing strong opposition to abortion. The culture war was fiercely going on and a consensus was hard to reach between the two sides.
