Gov. Brewer signed a bill that gives married couples a better advantage to adopt a child than single people. This is concerning for gay and lesbian couples because in the state of Arizona, same-sex marriages are illegal, therefore making it even harder for a same-sex couple to adopt in the state of Arizona.

The gay community has a hard time defending their rights as it is, and in this article, they are still defending that it is not by choice to be gay. Many are in outrage when a woman changes from a marriage with a man to a life and engagement with a woman "by choice". Either by birth, or by choice sexuality preference will always be at debate and under scrutiny.

It seems that same sex couples are taxable across the board just like every couple legally allowed to marry. The IRS sees a new stream of revenue. But what seems off is that the status and legal properties of marriage are still unsettled in a handful of states.

I don't believe that, why should a woman be allowed numerous abortions? These women need to take precautionary measures so they don't end up in the same situation.

I believe abortion is a personal freedom. Why is it anybody else's business of what YOU decide what to do with YOUR body? Don't get me wrong, I do not necessarily think that someone should do it, but it is not my choice. It is theirs. It's kind of like gay marriages - if it is not a problem in your everyday life, then don't worry about it! Also, people always protest it until they are put into the situation - it's scary and life changing and some people are just not ready for that kind of responsibility. To be honest, and as bad as this sounds, I rather allow abortions to be done if the individual knows for a fact that they can't take care of the child.

Abortion has always been a tough topic and I still have yet to decide on a solid answer. When you hear of women getting raped and pregnant its hard to tell them that they should have the baby. That would probably be the only case in which I believe abortion would be some what okay. On one side I believe it is a woman's right to do as she pleases with her own body, but at the same time she's not only making a decision for herself but also for what could be a baby. Your stopping a human from having a chance at life. I understand that some women may not be ready to take on such a responsibility but I would rather support adoption over abortion. As far as numerous abortions go, I think that if a women would ever need more than one then she should probably take a sex education class.

This topic is a difficult one to discuss. I feel as if birth and pregnancy is a miracle and its such a beautiful thing. Women able to be pregnant should be proud and feel blessed as some women aren't as grateful. I feel as if their is no excuse to take an infants life for the mothers fault. The only time i feel that there should be a debate about it is if the woman was raped.

The right for a women to get an abortion or even several abortions is ultimately one of her personal freedoms. There are many different scenarios that happen that lead to an abortion and who are we to questions anyone about to get one? Its a woman's private decision and freedom and should be left that way.

While the Constitution aims to separate church and state. We see that "church" can be an influential part of a person's life. Some are more strongly led by religion than others. When such a person holds political office, their religious views, sometimes inadvertently, comes to take shape in politics.
