    Planned parenthood does more than just abortions. Getting rid of the government funding for planned parenthood makes it so much harder for people who can't afford healthcare to get tested for STD's or to even get birth control. This is not something that needs to be taken away.

    I agree completely. What is going to happen to the women that are unable to afford birth control? What are they suppose to do, spend thousands of dollars instead to get tested or receive birth control.

    Across the country, hundreds of pregnant women and new mothers have been accused of child abuse or other crimes when they or their newborns tested positive for controlled substances. Laws on drug testing of infants and new mothers vary, but the stakes are always high.

    This article reports testing of a new system of teaching by the Khan Academy, a provider of free online teaching videos. It is currently being tested in a group of schools in San Francisco. Once more information on results is gathered, the new system may become an effective tool to reach more children that struggle with learning.

    The goal of most educators is to have students achieve major goals in school and proceed on to college and a career with the foundation that is provided in schools. The state has approved a list of standards of education, also called Common Core. Teachers use these standards in the classroom and test the students to discover if these standards are helping the students learn. The students will take a standardized test to evaluate on how well the students have learned from the Common Core. If the students cannot achieve these set goals, educators and teachers will have to revise the strategies to teacher their students the Common Core.

    I think if they want to get people off welfare there should be a more effective way to push everyone to get back on their feet. Have the adults do volunteer work, drug testing and education and or work training to fall back on when the benefits are cut off. This will help with the adults who have no work experience or education, prevent drug users from taking advantage of the help and maybe some people will think I should just get a job that pays more. Mcdonalds pays $11.00 an hour now and you don't need an education to start plus they help pay for you to continue your education as a benefit. I was a single mom for 7 years, the struggle is real. After several different jobs I finally got stable at one, went to school full-time for 3 years then took a break, rented my own place, had a bucket for a car but got me where I needed, sacrifice and determination got me far without government help. Had I had government help maybe I would have been done with school years ago at 28 and I wouldn't be furthering my education now at 36.

    I was also a single parent of three for 13 years and yes the struggle is real but at what point do you say enough is enough? I agree people need help sometimes to get back on their feet but when do we put a limit on it? Unfortunately some do take advantage of the system and do not even put in the effort to be independent.

    I am not a mother personally, I can only imagine the struggles of having children, I can barely make it alone. However i have witnessed people around me who take advantage of this system and have heard others who pay taxes vent about how it is unfair. I agree that it would be a good idea for the government to have more opportunities for these families to get back on their feet. Drug testing would be a good idea and work experience would help them once their 12 month period ends to find an appropriate job to help with their finances.

    This analysis tests the often-made argument that immigrants only do jobs Americans don't want. If the argument is correct, there should be occupations comprised entirely or almost entirely of immigrants. But Census Bureau data collected from 2005 to 2007, which allow for very detailed analysis, show that even before the recession there were only a tiny number of majority-immigrant occupations.

    This link doesn't lead to an article. GMOs face a lot of debate but after a lot of testing there has yet to be any solid proof that they cause any harm to the people consuming GMO foods. In fact, all bananas are GMO's. The practice of modifying crops to yield more food has been happening for as long as humans have grown crops. Companys that make the seeds are pretty awful. They treat farmers horribly.

    The article talks about how the educational system need to be more then just math, english, and science but also teach children active life skills and young adults life skills for the future career they may want in the future, teaching that the SAT's isn't the best approach for testing, very well written article that I enjoyed reading.

    On this topic, so many things to say. I have to admit here the educational system is very different than other countries. What really surprised me, was that the classes like history, biology, chemistry, geography..are optional. I really don't understand how you expect a child to learn and get some general knowledge, if these classes are optional. It is most likely that the child would chose none or one maybe, and then we think oh, the child can learn from internet or TV. But, the child would rather play a game online or watch a movie. The educational system needs readjustment and the curriculum changed in some classes where you have only dry material to study. We live in a society where technology is everywhere in all forms, we should take advantage of that, and create something more attractive to kids with the purpose of learning, almost like a game. I am sure that will attract children, and it will even encourage competition among them. For example, some of the educational apps, we see on all devices.

    Gun control is a very controversial on going topic. Guns save many lives when in the right hands. There should be deeper background checks and physiological tests. Americans do have a right to bear arms.

    I completely agree, guns save so many lives if in the right hands. There should be rules and precautions, but Americans should always have the right to bear arms.

    Charges for delivery have almost tripled since 1996. Women are getting sticker shocked for procedures and tests that they feel should be covered by insurance. The trend is that women are having to pay individually for services that they may not necessarily need. Many insurance providers exclude maternity coverage from their plans, increasing the financial burden for women.

    The article goes over many of the issues that parents, teachers, and children are having with common core. Parents are noticing children having an increased stressed level which they attribute to common core. In the authors opinion, teachers are required to follow a script, for fear of job loss. Some programs have also been cut from school like PE and Music.

    People are outraged at how employers are now not hiring qualified candidates because of there personal habits which contain any form of tobacco. Not only are employers not allowing it on there property but requiring employees to pass urine tests in order to prove they are living a more healthy lifestyle which includes being a non-smoker. Where will the line be drawn and how far will employers be able to tip toe towards the infringing on the Americans Civil rights.
