Obama commutes 61 prison sentences - CNNPolitics.com - 3 views

  •  
    "President Barack Obama commuted the prison sentences of 61 people who were serving time for drug offenses, the White House announced Wednesday, furthering his push to reform what he sees as overzealous sentencing laws."

    I like this because there are people who are committing more serious crimes like rape, etc. and people are wasting spaces in the jail because of their drug offenses that could of been minor and didn't involve violence or anything.

  •  
    "President Obama is bringing together almost 50 countries here in the nuclear security summit not only to talk about protecting nuclear materials but that dangerous section between terrorism and nuclear weapons," Brett McGurk, Obama's envoy for the global coalition to counter ISIS, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room."

  •  
    I feel like ISIS obtaining a nuke would be catastrophic for the United States and the world in general.
  •  
    If ISIS would happen to obtain a nuke, the United States would definitely have to be on guard. Seeing how freely ISIS is willing to kill millions of innocent people.
  •  
    President Obama held a meeting with almost 50 countries to talk about the nuclear security summit. They talked about how they have and will keep protecting more and more land from nuclear weapons. They realize that terrorists will use them to kill as many people as possible and because of that they are doing everything they can to keep nuclear weapons out of their hands.

Trump's abortion answer confirms GOP fears - 7 views

shared by kadenroen on 31 Mar 16 - No Cached
  •  
    Faced with the prospect of Trump as the party's standard bearer, Republicans from across the ideological spectrum quickly condemned Trump's assertion -- but not before Democrats showed the damage Trump's words could have on the GOP. And in what was a clear acknowledgement of the stakes, Trump did something he has rarely done in this campaign -- back away from his statement within hours.

    I agree with this comment he made about how "people who have abortions should be punished". I personally just dont believe abortions are right.
  •  
    If abortion is made illegal than I think all parties responsible for the abortion should face some type of punishment. Sometimes in order to enforce something you need to have consequences. The punishment could be something as simple as a fine. I think people freaked out when Trump said "punishment" because of its negative connotations. I am not sure what I think of Trump changing his viewpoints to fit the media. He went from saying women who have abortions should face some type of punishment if it was illegal to have abortions to saying that the women who have abortions are the victim.
  •  
    I don't agree with the comment that Trump made about women or the doctors getting punished for having/ preforming an abortion. I am pro choice and believe it is the woman's decision weather she wants to have an abortion or not and she should not have to be held legally accountable for making her own healthcare decisions and the doctors should not be held legally accountable for providing the requested healthcare.
  •  
    This is scary because he is saying that the women who get abortions or preform abortions should get punished. Which I don't believe is right at all.

Utah passes 'fetal pain' abortion law requiring anesthesia - CNN.com - 2 views

  •  
    "Utah will now require doctors to provide anesthesia to women having abortions at 20 weeks of pregnancy or later."
  •  
    i think if its been 20 weeks and u havent decided to keep your kid yet or not then you have a problem because your the mother of that child and you obviously dont care about your own kid that you decided to have.For one your the one who decided to have unprotected sex and got pregnet so if you dont want the kid the your going to have then you should'nt have sex and get pregnet then.Another thing if its been longer than 16-19 weeks that you have been carrying the child then you should'nt be able to put the child up for abortion because if you have made up your mind if you want to keep the child then there is somthing wrong.

Will Alabama impeach governor? - 6 views

shared by kadenroen on 05 Apr 16 - No Cached
  •  
    In a nutshell, here's why: Audio recordings surfaced last month of a sexually explicit conversation between Bentley and one of his aides, Rebekah Mason, originally from 2014. (More on that later) Both denied have a physical affair. Bentley and his wife divorced last year. Gov. Bentley has apologized and maintains he did nothing illegal.
  •  
    I don't see why this is a problem he is single if he even did it in the first place
  •  
    Alabama should try to remove the governor from office

Trump outlines plan to get Mexico to pay for border wall - 2 views

  •  
    Trump outlined the steps his administration would undertake to compel Mexico to pay the U.S. "$5-10 billion" to fund a border wall in a memo his campaign released Tuesday morning -- a plan that relies largely on threatening to bar undocumented Mexican immigrants in the United States from wiring money to relatives in Mexico. -I think that Trump is basically blackmailing Mexico to pay for the wall between the two countries. I also really don't like that he said that him and his supporters have a moral high ground advantage because that is not true. In order to have a moral high ground advantage that would require you to have moral respect and several people, including myself, think his presidential promises and credentials are immoral.

    The incident at Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio late last month was captured on cell phone video.

Scientists reverse ageing in mammals and predict human trials within 10 years - 16 views

  •  
    "Using a new technique which takes adult cells back to their embryonic form, US researchers at the Salk Institute in California, showed it was possible to reverse ageing in mice, allowing the animals to not only look younger, but live for 30 per cent longer."
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    I don't know how I feel about this, I think scientist are super smart people but there not using there knowledge to the best of there abilities... I personally find making animals live longer and possibly in the future creating a "medicine" or treatment to transform adult cells back to there embryonic form disturbing. It will probably cost a whole lot of money to. Its awesome how far they have come, but its weird when you mess with the life span of animals... it could also mess with natural selection.
  •  
    I think that it's amazing that science has come this far and they might be able to do this, but I don't think that we should reverse aging because we don't know the side effects on humans. I think they should just know they can do it but not use it because it could be harmful.
  •  
    "The breakthrough could also help people stay healthier for longer. The ageing population means that the risk of developing age-related diseases, such as dementia, cancer and heart disease also rises. But if the body could be kept younger for longer then it could prevent many deadly diseases for decades." It has a lot of pros and cons to this i think they shouldn't mess with the life span of make cells younger because that means there will be more people and the world could come over populated. But living longer would help a lot because you will learn more and be able to educate young people with better knowledge
  •  
    I think it's really good science has gotten so far that it is today because it helps us learn new things and better things and I think it will definitely keep advancing in the future.
  •  
    This could help millions of people on earth. If the body can stay younger for longer it decreases the chances of ageing related diseases.
