In the 2012 presidential race, women's issues we could say are a "big issue".  There is discussion about women's health care and employment issues.  If elected, Romney wants to get rid of programs that give government aid like planned parenthood and medicare.  He does not believe in helping to lower university tuition costs because he thinks it is like giving "free stuff" which is not okay with him.  Romney's Republican budget would also be cutting programs that support low-income women and children.  According to Romney, Obama is responsible for policies that have hurt the opportunities for women to obtain well-paying jobs.  These topics bring up a lot of concern for the future of the women and their families in this country, therefore, effecting nearly everyone in the country.  There are many people that struggle as it is, while getting help right now.  what would happen to women and children if that help is taken away?  There seems to be a lot of conflict within certain arguments, even without the opposing side's input.  How is a women supposed to not be able to plan a pregnancy and not get any help if she does have an unplanned pregnancy because her rights of planning it were limited?  How are women, or even men on this topic supposed to find well-paying jobs if it is not okay for them to get "free money" or if it is an uncontrollable topic to keep college tuition under control?...
