    Many people see planned parenthood as an organization that has been taking money from the government to fund abortions among many other issues. It's thought that this shouldn't be the case because there are so many other health care services in the states that provide the same services as well as many more services too. The break down of some of the expenses show why continuing to fund planned parenthood would not be the best solution for the tax payers money.

    Arizona has tried many things to stop illegal immigrants from coming into Arizona. Some of these things have included adding more police power by the borders, and building a wall. But what we really need to be looking at is stopping the illegal immigrants from getting what they want when they finally get into the United States because then they will stop coming in.

    Civic leaders, activists, artists and others are celebrating, marching and paying homage Monday to Martin Luther King Jr., marking the 30th anniversary of the federal holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader. In South Carolina, civil rights leaders planned a march to their state capitol as in past years when their rally highlighted calls to remove the Confederate flag from Statehouse grounds.

    I'm really glad this symbol is being recognized and taken down in other states, especially those with discriminating acts recently taking place.

    I think this is a great thing. Especially considering all of the racial issues we have been having lately through out the country I think this is a huge step in the right direction.

    An Arkansas teen says he was turned down when he tried to join the U.S. Marine Corps because of his "Southern Pride" Confederate flag tattoo. Anthony Bauswell shows his pride in his country upbringing with his tattoos, and to show pride in his country he walked into the Conway Marine recruiting center Monday to enlist.

    When people talk about hacking and social networks, they're not referring to the com­mon definition of hacking, which is using malicious code or backdoors in computer networks to damage systems or steal proprietary information. Hacking into social networks requires very little technical skill.

    I believe that there should be an increase on security with social networks because of how easy it is to hack into someones personal information!

    Gun violence has been a rising issue within the last few years, especially with the number of mass shootings. Most people think that mental health issues are what cause these incidents. But even professionals think that if all mental health problems were solved there would still be issues with gun violence.

    In April, the Senate rejected the Toomey-Manchin gun control proposal. In the wake of its defeat many wonder why give this a chance to be passed. Trying to make every gun legal to buy wont be easy to do. Creating the right to purchase a firearm no short cuts. Make it difficult for people who do not have license to sell them on the streets.

    Between the 9/11 terrorists attacks and Edward Snowden's whistle blowing, American's have been debating over whether it is against our constitution to collect massive amounts of data on our citizens through internet uses and phone calls, or it our country's security is more important.
  • Daniel Andrade on 27 Feb 16
     
    Years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and two years after Edward Snowden's revelations about extensive U.S. government surveillance of phone and internet data, Americans have mixed and conflicting views about government surveillance programs. On the one hand, a majority of Americans oppose the government collecting bulk data on its citizens, others believe there aren't enough limits on what types of data can be collected.
  • Jesus Chino on 27 Feb 16
     
    Terrorism certainly created more fear in the west and Americans wanted to feel more safe. Even if it means sacrificing some personal freedoms so that the government catches the crimes before they happen. Recently, it's been seen that it has gotten out of control more than anticipated.

    Since the choice to abort is one of the biggest reasons why people want to defund planned parenthood it is being looked at as more of a moral decision. The way democrats and republicans feel on this topic is completely different therefore has been making it harder to make the decision on it. Defunding planned parenthood for this reason would basically be taking away a women's right to choose.
  • Jesus Chino on 27 Feb 16
     
    I agree with your statement. It should ultimately be a women's choice and not let politicians decide a woman's decision. Everyone has a right to decide what is best for them without controversies and looking down at.

This law should not a very big issue if your a US citizen. If you do not have an ID you cannot contribute very much to our country because almost every job would require to see an ID.

    congress voted another time to take away funds to planned parenthood. Reimbursing members and abortion included in the plan are big reasons why.
  • stromgrend on 27 Feb 16
     
    Planned Parenthood is once again being voted on whether to stay funded or to be defunded. The house of reps is expected to pass a bill that will about 450 million out of planned parenthood. The Govt. has not funded the abortion side of planned parenthood since 1976, so some Democrats criticize them.

    Thee anti-discrimination laws intertwine with religious liberties. There are many things that people do in a day to day basis that they can be discriminated on whether it is getting a wedding cake or going out to eat where they can be denied. Yet it has also opened a wide range of possibilities for those who were being discriminated on to go other places for their choices.

    Gun control in my opinion should be regulated, not be taken away from the rights of Americans. Some people can be dangerous with huge amounts of firearms without regulations.

    Family-planning programs boost incomes, reduce poverty, and ease the load on America's safety net. And yet, Republicans can't seem to condemn them strongly enough. Investing in reproductive health isn't just good for women and their families-it's good for the economy. (nmw)

    If planned parenthood were to be defunded, it is predicted that the government would end up spending more in the long run on public assistance. Planned parenthood provides many services for women, one of them being birth control. Statistics in this article show that women who used birth control were easily able to finish school, find jobs, and create a steady life before having children. Defunding this organization would cost America more money in the bigger scheme of things.

    The author believes planned parenthood is positive. It boosts the economy because those women have the chance to plan their pregnancies and prevent unwanted ones.

    Mike Rowe talks about what would actually happen if heavier gun control laws were laid down. He talks about how he thinks a heavier background check would not do much to a criminal purchasing a gun illegally. He says then that if we cannot control the government, why would we want to make it bigger by handing over our guns.
  • ceciliamadrid on 06 Mar 16
     
    We do need stronger gun control laws, but either way I feel as if anyone now a days think its okay to have self defense as in automatically killing someone. Self defense is a mechanism as to which keeps oneself safe, as well as stopping the offender in a way that does not kill them, only stops; by saying that does not mean "go kill them" and that is what most people believe now a days is what self defense is, just by killing another individual.

    South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley signed a bill into law Thursday that will bring down the Confederate flag outside the Statehouse, a move that seemed unthinkable only a month ago in this Deep South state that was the first to secede from the Union.

    This can go either way for people with different backgrounds. The flag can either mean independence and freedom but some take it as being different from the U.S. and it is tied to racism even,

    The flag does represent a rebellion against the American government.

    One obvious solution would be to distribute enough temporary work visas for the farmers to be able to hire the workers they need legally. The positive aspects of the Bracero program should be revived, while eschewing its mistakes.

    A judge is making it harder to have a safe abortion. This restricts their personal rights to have a safe way to control their own lives.
