The political cartoons above show very different views of abortion. The one on the left emphasizes that people who support life are being hypocritical in the sense that they are for supporting life until it cost them taxes. In contrast the one on the left shows that what was called acceptable for the treatment of life during the slavery time period is now viewed as inhumane and unjust. It compares these ideas to the ideas that killing unborn babies is also inhumane and unfair to the child.

This political cartoon on the left was published in December of 1981 and was the first abortion related cartoon of its time. It is the first cartoon to show the political disagreement of when life begins and the political issue it brings.

The cartoon on the left shows the complications of the abortion debate as the only people who truly can have a fair, honest, and experienced say, are the mothers who are for or against abortion themselves. It brings the point that those who are not pregnant or mothers don't know what it is like to be a mother and go the problems and stresses that occur for her. It pushes the choice for women.
The political cartoon on the left was published late December of 2013. It shows the sharp contrast between the original political cartoons and the one that course through papers present day. This cartoon clearly illustrates that while many people are debating on the issue back and forth, the issue continues to be unsolved.
