Respected Judge, Andrew Napolitano discusses why gun laws are about our given rights as Americans. This article describes the slow repression of our natural rights.

This article talks about the right to bear arms. The main thing it focuses on is the difference between self defense and using a gun in a harmful manner.

The personal freedom of the second amendment or the right to bear arms is a touchy subject in today's new world. From either stand point the right to bear arms is a natural right of self-defense. Reading this article gives reasoning to why the freedom to own and use guns are important to society.

This article discusses the controversy between freedom of speech and preventing terrorism. A high school students Facebook comments put him in court.

It's nice to see how serious our law enforcement agencies are taking this. I'm all for making an example out of this kid. However, I'm not sure if 20 years is the answer either. If anything the kid needs some help, not a third of his life behind bars. Of course I can't share a definite observation, and opinion on the matter because I haven't listen to the video. Again, either way the security of our nation and its people is and should be highest priority.

This article shows the different percentages of how Americans trust and view the Federal Government. For the first time in many years, the majority say our freedoms are threatened.

This article is about how society is feeling that the government is taking away our freedoms. Over half of the people that participated in a poll say that the government is threatening their rights and freedoms.

In this article Senator Dennis Rehberg explains why he is approving a bill that will take land from the people of Montana. The bill would give control of the land to the federal government and take it away from Montana; without any in-put from the people.

This is just a simple definition to get a clear understanding of what we are researching. Understanding what a personal freedom is, is important to our society because we all have a right to something.

I picked this because it mentioned a girl that is a victim of rape and abortion may be an option. This is one case for me when I can support a women's decisions to abort.

"Several years ago, when 17,000 aborted babies were found in a dumpster outside a pathology laboratory in Los, Angeles, California, some 12-15,000 were observed to be black."

Why are Black women over 3 times more likely to obtain an abortion than White women? Even though African Americans are only 12.6% of the population, they received 30% of the 1.2 million abortions in 2008 (latest available statistics), killing 360,000 Black babies at a rate of nearly 1,000 per day.

This article goes over why black women are 3 times more likely to have an abortion. In addition to that, it goes over why Planned Parenthood's are strategically place in black poverty neighborhoods.

Whatever the intent of the abortion industry may be, by functional standards, abortion is a racist institution. In the United States, black children are aborted at nearly four times the rate as white children and Hispanic children don't fare much better.

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.

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.

This is just a PDF from the Department of Health and the statistics of abortion. The total number of abortions was 189,931, 0.2% more than in 2010 (189,574) and 7.7% more than in 2001 (176,364).

he anti-abortion group that recently revealed two videos from a secret investigation into abortion clinics released a third on Thursday. The group, Live Action, previewed it first to CNN, providing what appears to be full footage and an edited version.

This article goes over the negative side of abortion and what goes into having one. In addition to that it goes over how abortion is done correctly in certain clinics.

This research article gives detailed point by point information about the problems with Zero Tolerance Policies. The research done shows the goal of the policies and the actual effect they have had.

In 1998 the individual soda intake was at its highest, averaging a surprising 56.1 gallons. Six years later in 2004, carbonated soft drinks had a 7 percent decline in individual consumption. In addition, replacing regular soda with diet soda helped decrease the intake of caloric beverages an impressive 12 percent. Health problems like obesity and being overweight result from the lack of nutrients in these beverages. The widespread issues are due to high rise consumption rates of these carbonated soft drinks. Liquid candy is statistically proven to be a prime factor for excessive weight increase. A problem for our population following the increase is the Type 2 diabetes.

This website talks about the drinking ages in different countries when you're traveling. This also presents how most college presidents are wanting to sign to lower drinking ages to 18. 

This article points out that there we should just get rid of the drinking age completely. However, it also makes some good points of why we should lower the drinking age if we dont get rid of it.

I definitely don't agree with this article. Its one thing to smoke cannabis. But drinking takes your body to a completely un-controllable state. And the younger you are the more naïve you become with making smart choices.
