I totally agree with this topic, and article. I find it very disturbing to see people sell their bodies, or even "pimps" selling our for their own profit.

These reasons range from the rising health issues in America, the effects GMO crops are having on the environment, as well as the biotechnology push the government is giving to the FDA, resulting in a blind eye being turned towards the testing and safety of GMO products.

I liked this article, it gave me some insight into GMO's that I didn't have before. Thanks for posting:)

GMO's are very unhealthy to a human beings diet. Numerous health problems increased after GMO's were introduced in 1996. The percentage of American's with three or more chronic illnesses increased from seven percent to thirteen percent in nine years. GMO's will be used for the rest of our lives.

Should kids be required to get vaccinations? This website talks about how there are now fewer kids getting vaccines because of a number of reasons. some of the reasons are that the parents are simply opting out because of fears or paranoia or just laziness. The article says that the reasons that parents use for kids to skip shots vary, some are related to religion. 

Hi all, I am a parent of three. All of my kids are current on all vaccines recommended by their PCP. I am a true believer. That being said I do think something could be changed for the vaccine requirements. I have spoken to many people about this in my area. I'm actually scared for the un-vaccinated kids so it always sparks curious conversations for me. The common denominator I found with everyone I have spoken to about not vaccinating their kids is, they don't want to vaccinate all at once, they want to spread it out. I feel it's a greater risk to wait or not get a child vaccinated period, but I'm wondering for those who are just not educated on the facts of vaccines or those who are afraid of all of them at once maybe they can have a different vaccine protocol. While it won't be what the CDC recommends initially, I feel that it would still be better than not vaccinating period.

I agree with my colleagues above, the ignorance about vaccines is becoming widespread. We are in an age of refined medical practices and innovation based on factual evidence and research. Parents in doubt should consider two words. (Herd Immunity) for those unfamiliar with its meaning I'll leave you with its definition - the resistance to the spread of a contagious disease within a population that results if a sufficiently high proportion of individuals are immune to the disease, especially through vaccination. "the level of vaccination needed to achieve herd immunity varies by disease but ranges from 83 to 94 percent" We all have a stake in this.

This article gives many reasons why Planned Parenthood should be funded. It provides statistics and what they do for millions of women. It also gives an real example of what happens when the funding is cut and the repercussions.

This article lists most of the reasons on why the educational system is failing. The US is still using old teaching ways and it is not working for today's generation.

In this article it explains Obama signing the Executive Order 13738 and the reasons on why the Pledge of Allegiance is being banned. It was banned due to lack of freedom of religion.

Banning the Pledge of Allegiance in America sounds very ridiculous to many citizens. After reading the article, I somewhat understand the reasoning behind Obama's decision however, in his own words, Obama stated his action stemmed from his personal belief. One man's personal belief should not supersede the personal belief's of a million others. On a side note, President Trump revoked this executive order on March 27, 2017.

The reason why people have a problem with it is because of the "Under God" part. I'm not sure about that park because it doesn't say which God they are talking about. I do think it would be best to keep it out of schools until the words "Under God" is removed. I think a better way to do this would have been removing the "Under God" part. Overall I do support removing "Under God" from the pledge.
