    Wow...I don't agree that a female rape victim should be forced to share custody or receive child support from her assailant it should be her right as the victim. But a male victim, this is new to me. However, I agree if he is a victim she should be charged and he should have a choice. Charges should have been made against her back when it happened or they should do the math and still charge her. As for the child it's sad but if he doesn't want to be apart of her life because he wants nothing to do with his assailant, The assailant is at fault. I don't think I would want my son to have to be involved with a women who raped him because a child was conceived during her criminal act. It's sad because then the child suffers. Mixed feelings on this subject.

    This whole article is disturbing on so many levels. First of all he was 14 years old but that does not change the fact that he is a parent and has responsibilities just based on that alone. BUT if the courts are going to recognize the fact that is was a rape why do they not charge the mother? I say he takes her to court for custody and makes her pay child support. The poor child can not win either way.
  •  
    This is appalling. The woman should be charged. Its sad that many look away when its a male that is a rape victim. They deserve to get justice and not get charged for child support. The victim should have a say on what they want if they want to be involved or not, but I feel like they shouldn't have to deal with their rapist.
  •  
    Wow this is another disturbing article! The fact of the matter is that men alone have it very very hard when it comes to their rights as fathers. And in instances like this, even harder. The fact that he got served with papers years later is very sad. That mother clearly just wants to collect money. But what would she even tell her daughter about her dad? That she had sex with a 14 year old boy?? This is so disturbing and there should be laws in place for situations like this and for fathers in general.

Meet America's New Breed of Service Dog: Emotional Support Animals - 0 views

  •  
    The key distinction to remember is that a psychiatric service animal is actually trained to perform certain tasks that are directly related to an individual's psychiatric disability. The dog's primary role is not to provide emotional support. It is to assist the owner with the accomplishment of vital tasks they otherwise would not be able to perform independently.

Pro-choice activists obtain warrants against pro-life supporters - 0 views

  •  
    Pro-life supporters are surely using their freedom of speech rights but when has it gone too far? Their protest has gone as far as spraying holy water and chest-bumping pro-life supporters now. Warrants for this type of harassment were filed, of course.

Jindal Challenges Obama's Unlawful Coercion Common Core - 0 views

  •  
    Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal filed a lawsuit in federal court last month against the Obama administration over its use of federal funding and waivers from No Child Left Behind (NCLB) to encourage states to adopt Common Core national standards and tests. Those in opposition to Common Core feel that the standards in place under Common Core could possibly result in standardizing weakness instead of reinforcing standards of excellence. The proof of this concern is found as states compare the effects of Common Core against previous standards of excellence. Those who agree with Governor Jindal's concern argue that Common Core national standards and testing will ultimately support federal control over education - a move that will only further weaken individual responsibility of schools and districts.

Maternity Leave in the United States - 6 views

  •  
    This article discusses how the United States is behind when it comes to providing paid maternity leave. The United States does not guarantee paid maternity leave.
  • ...15 more comments...

    This is a very sad topic, i think everyone should be able to get maternity leave no matter the standards because there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a mother and father so happy with their new born baby. I believe that people should have longer maternity leave.
  •  
    I think everyone should be able to have maternity leave because its important for the mother and father to be with their baby. I think they should also be paid while taking this time off because they still need to be able to support the child and that cant be done if they are not making money.
  •  
    With the evidence that researchers have uncovered within their study on new mothers; these findings can be very alarming. Especially, the diagnose of postpartum depression. This is great evidence that can support this continuous debate.
  •  
    Pregnancy is the most beautiful thing a mother can experience, but at the same the most painful. With maternity leave mothers and fathers can have that time to recover and get back to their daily routines.
  •  
    My wife gave birth to our daughter back in August, she is a school teacher and it's very heartbreaking to know that current practices in the state of Arizona have defined pregnancy as a "short term disability." True there are aspects that are disabling, but the definition itself is what removes the obligation of the state to pay for leave, instead leaving woman in the education sector to pay for supplemental health care as current healthcare for public workers does not support pregnancy. At least in our case, I'm sure there are very rare exceptions.
  •  
    The U.S. needs to recognize that mothers need way more time than they actually get for maternity leave! Giving birth is such a beautiful but extremely painful and tiring/draining thing that women need time to recuperate from.
  •  
    I believe in maternity leave in just about any work place. The mother gets it rough and the thought of not getting paid maternity leave just stinks. I also believe that husbands should get maternity leave. Like, what if the mother has a higher paid job, and it is the dad that stays home?
  •  
    With the USA coming in last in maternity leave rights, Rita Ruben talks about the injustice the work place creates by not giving mothers the time and money they need to welcome their newest member of their families. Some countries even offer paid paternity leave, but in the USA, FMLA only saves your job as a mother. No pay or fathers allowed.
  •  
    This article points out the US is the last of the fairly developed countries when it comes to advancement in women's maternity leave. The article talks about studies that have shown how a women's maternity leave can have an impact on her overall health and well-being.
  •  
    I think the author made a very important comment by saying, "The mother's mental and physical health can be an important route through which infants are affected by parents' employment decisions." I totally agree with this. How can we ignore our health after having a baby. I have 5 children and I was fortunate enough to not have to work. I was able to stay home and heal, and most importantly bond with my baby. I recovered well post child birth, and I was able to be the best mother I could be to my children.
  •  
    This is a huge social injustice towards the mothers who have just given birth. Making maternity leave as a paid family leave is wrong because the mothers have to later make up all the time they took off to care for their newborn, which can be months.
  •  
    I think new moms definitely get the shaft when it comes to maternity leave. Just watching people in my life have their kids, and the struggles that can come after besides adjusting to new life I think it is a complete injustice that new moms don't have the option to have more paid time, separate from their regular PTO.
  •  
    It's truly heartbreaking to think about the struggles that many mothers have to face. They were just introduced to motherhood and already have to worry about not being able to have the time or money that is deserved. Most of all, the time needed to recover post birth.
  •  
    I think that maternity leave is vitally important for a mother and her child. However, what about fathers the child is just as much theirs yet little to no maternity leave is given. Usually if they take the time off for the birth of the child it comes out of their paid time off if they would like an extended amount of time.
  •  
    The United States definitely falls behind compared to most modernized countries in-regards to this. The fact that studies show much higher results for emotional bonding between parents, and the retention of employees for the company they're employed for, when giving maternal/paternal leave. I understand the reason why it's difficult for many American businesses to be competitive to some European industries that can have months off at a time for this, but even a couple paid weeks may make all the difference at a minimum for both parents, to adapt, and prepare for their new schedule/lives.
  •  
    I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.
  •  
    Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.

Support for Dreamers grows in face of Trump threat that would uproot lives - Education ... - 1 views

  •  
    Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is currently in the battle of surviving. In this article it shows all the support, information on the program, and how many lives will be affected.
  •  
    I personally know a lot of people myself that will be strongly affected if DACA is removed. I believe that criminals should be penalized but not the people that are actually trying to do something right, pay their taxes, work, and go to school. Like the articles states, America is the only country some people have ever known, it would be devastating if DACA is eliminated.

Child asked to remove Marine shirt - 0 views

  •  
    Within the article, it has information on how an elementary school asked a child to remove his shirt. However, the most interesting part of the removal of the shirt is that the shirt was a US Marines shirt with guns on it. This action turned into a huge controversy because the shirt was supporting the nation rather than anything other than disrespecting it.

Gun Laws - 0 views

  •  
    Everyone should have a right to protect themselves. Making guns illegal wont solve the issue. Either way, criminals will still find a way to get a hold of them.
  •  
    This link agrees with the right to bear arms. They support equal rights for gun owners. The purpose of this link is to prove that not everyone will be effected by making guns illegal. The law abiding citizens become defenseless and the criminals will take as they please knowing the people are pretty much defenseless.
