Abortions are generally accepted in Taiwan, where the procedure became legal in 1985. Women have had abortions for as long as they have had children. In fact, the oldest known medical text containing abortion techniques appeared in China over 4,700 years ago.

Amidst the global pandemic, Arizona states students are failing statewide tests in both English and Math this spring with alarming numbers. Education officials had previously advised "extreme caution" in regards to making conclusions based on the number of cases. Disruptions to in-person learning during the pandemic due to the dramatic impact on student learning suggest "inferences may be invalid", according to the department. This years tests also painted a demographic split as White and Asian students passed these exams at twice as POC students. COVID-19 pandemic has had a disparate impact on communities of color, both economically and in loss of life.

That's crazy to hear Covid has had such a negative impact on students performance in school, it's really disheartening. It is a rough transition going from learning in school, then trying to teach yourself through online school in quarantine, it's definitely not for everyone.

This article describes the various ways that POC are treated differently. This can cause doctors to provide the wrong treatment or no treatment for the minority who don't have access to healthcare.

The fact that we continue to face and see discrimination when it comes to health care is appalling. When dealing with health, health care providers should not be biased on who to help due to their skin color or certain characteristics.

There is no reason why there should still be discrimination in health care, they're saving your life regardless of your color.

The state that brought you the chain-gang enforcing Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, the "show me your papers" immigration law, and racial profiling is proud to present its latest hit: a law prohibiting sex and raced-based abortion, based on lies and stereotypes about black and Asian women. The woman and doctor must also sign an affidavit stating the reason the woman wants an abortion has nothing to do with the race or sex of the embryo or fetus.

Wow, I honestly had no idea this was going on. The law prohibits abortions based on the sex or race of the fetus or embryo, This is an extreme injustice! I can't believe we still face this kind of inequality.

This study evaluates how the warmer climate has allowed the Asian Tiger Mosquito to invade the Northern American continent with little setbacks as its breeding season is now more suitable due to climate change. Warmer temperatures for longer periods of time and more humidity has lead to an increase in the carrying capacity of the species which is known for its very high potential as a vector (something that helps spread an illness). The numbers of exposed Americans to this vector is expected to double within the century to nearly 60% of the population coming into contact with the new threat. This study also examines the new diseases that public health officials are preparing for as the new climate shows little promise of improving with the current public's attitude towards reform.

I do think that this is a real problem that can be helped, but it wouldn't be an easy solution. It's important to figure out how to best keep our country safe.
