However, we really can't tell what is real anymore. Information changes constantly, and people are becoming indifferent to what they see or hear.

While the number of COVID 19 case continues to rise, Healthcare workers are succumbing to overwhelming pressure on their shoulders.

The abortion-rights debate is commonly misunderstood, with advocates on both sides attributing false motives to many good, deeply conscientious people. Denying women access to abortion is a form of gender discrimination.

I like how this article used their own experience of feeling different towards the argument int the past to help boost their side.

I see this topic coming up more especially as Texas recently passed a law that woman would not be able to receive abortions past 6 weeks of fetus age.
