2nd Opinion

     I believe the cartoonist is pointing out how women are fighting for their rights and republicians are trying to take them away. It's showing the women's reproductive organs, and then turned into an elephant, as the republican party. Which is like how they're trying to control us women. It's ironic in the way where the picture is drawn, and that certain members of the republican party are talking about women, abortions, and "legitamate rape". Like, a woman cant decide if they want an abortion or not.

     I think the impact on this cartoon to people is the point to a certain political party and the fight for women's rights. This is trashing the republican party and their thoughts. In my thoughts, I don't believe people should be able to control a women's body. No, an abortion isn't right, but it's what the women wants, and that's her body to decide, not anyone else's. We should have full freedonm of our own body. Also, the republican party says that it has to be "legitamate rape". How can there be a fake rape? If it's rape, its all bad and shouldnt be happening. If a women doesn't want to keep a baby as a reminder to being raped, or because it will cause her health risks, like dying, the mom should decide whether she wants to abort it. It shouldn't have to be an illegal desicion, in my opinion.

My opinion



The cartoonist choose to draw about this because of how in debt America is in and all of our problems. Also, Romney is so rich and as I have heard, he basically wants to get rid of the middle class. That would be erasing us. This drawing is "ironic" in the way the middle class is being erased by a "No. 2" pencil that is entitled "The Great Recession". This would be the second recession, hint the #2 pencil. I think the impact this picture has on the viewers is that our economy is basically crap and it's just getting worse and soon we'll (the middle class) be wiped out until the rich people take over what they want.

     The impact this drawing has on me, is to realize partially whats going on. What Romney is saying, are just lies to feed into America to get his vote. But, what this cartoon is pointing out is that the middle class is going to be wiped away. We'll get pulled into another recession and it'll probably be worse than the first one. America is jsut basically falling into pieces and every president nominee will tell you the same thing, that they can fix it. But, can they really fix it that easy, and as easily as they say? Nope. But, people will feed into what they say and vote for them while lies about the other canidate are out, so they look like the bad person.
