Conflict is increasing in the US over the implementation of progressive and conservative programs. On one hand, the federal administration of the Democratic Party has passed the Progressive Corona Virus Package and a bill to ease voting has been approved by the Democratic-majority House of Representatives, while the Republican Party-majority state legislature in the state of Arkansas has aborted But it has banned almost. Just a day earlier, the Georgia legislature, with a majority of the Republican Party, put its stamp of approval on the bill to narrow the franchise.

Republican Governor of Arkansas State Asa Hutchinson signed the anti-abortion bill on Tuesday. He said that he is signing the bill because of his tremendous legislative support and his anti-abortion faith. After the enactment of the new law, in the state of Arkansas, abortion can be done only in those cases in which the mother's life is threatened. That is, it would be illegal to abort a pregnancy caused by rape or family adultery. The governor said the ban is against the precedents set by the US Supreme Court, but the motive behind it is to create a ground that would allow the Supreme Court to overturn the existing federal law.

On Monday, the Georgia legislature passed a bill that makes postal voting illegal in cases where voters do not give sufficient reasons for it. Significantly, in the elections held last November, the Republican Party lost in this state after two decades. Later in January, the Democratic Party also won both seats in the Senate elections. In the last election, 1.3 million people in Georgia voted by post.

Another bill is under discussion in Georgia's legislature, which provides for the abolition of the self-registration rule of voters. This rule came into force in 2016. After that, out of 76 lakh registered voters in the state, the name of 50 lakhs came in the voters list through this rule. According to experts, the new rules being enacted in Georgia will make it difficult for the black community and poor sections to vote. These sections are generally believed to vote for the Democratic Party.

In addition to narrowing voting rights in Republican-majority states, there is also a campaign to ban abortion. This year, the first 13 other states in Arkansas have also taken a ban on abortion. Whereas in the 1973 landmark judgment in the US, the Supreme Court had legalized abortion. But now the majority states of the Republican Party are passing such provisions, making the issue of going to the Supreme Court again. Several conservative judges were appointed to the Supreme Court during the tenure of former President Donald Trump. The Republican Party hopes that this time a majority of judges will overturn the 1973 decision.

On the other hand, after passing the Progressive Corona Relief Package, President Joe Biden has given his full strength to secure the right of workers to form unions. On Tuesday, Biden called on the Congress (American Parliament) to pass a law that would make it easier for workers to form unions. "I am strongly encouraging the House of Representatives to pass a bill to protect the right to organize," the president said in a statement. This will increase the chances of workers getting organized and then they will be able to bargain for better pay, job benefits and working conditions.

Biden's proposal to increase the minimum wage to $ 15 was also included in the Corona relief package. But he could not pass due to technical reasons. Now the progressive section of the Democratic Party is trying to get it passed separately. Analysts say that given the priority of both parties, it seems that they have gone into a political war for their respective agendas.
