Beliefs on abortions and a woman's right to choose are main differences between the democratic and republican platforms. The democratic platform is very straightforward in stating that government should not restrict women's health care. In their platform they declare that "the Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay." Republicans feel the opposite way towards abortions, and want government to immediately cut federal funding for clinics that perform abortions and for insurance that covers preventive measures for women. The Republican Party wants "to permanently ban all federal funding and subsidies for abortion and healthcare plans that include abortion coverage." Abortion and women's healthcare are some of the many topics over which the two parties quarrel and disagree on, and will undoubtedly be a part of the upcoming debates.
