Secret Door to the Left

10 - The 2020 Election Series: Issue #1 - Abortion


Listen Later

In Episode 10 behind the Secret Door, Alicia and Frances will start a new series where they will be discussing three different crucial points that will determine the election. The first on their list is abortion and where each side stands. 


Frances and Alicia will talk about the history of abortion in the United States, the history of abortion in politics, and the opinion they currently have on the issue. They will also go over how substantial the issue is in the South, in the overall election, and in the Republican party. 

 

Do you have an opinion Alicia or Frances? Do you agree or disagree the idea of abortion being a single voter issue? What do you think will happen to the current abortion laws? You can comment, email, or message them to share with them your opinions.
