  •  
    If Bill AB2019 is enacted into law, it will become mandatory to vaccinate children even when if the mom or dad says otherwise.

    This is one of those issues that I have trouble keeping cool about. It once again shows me how other people want to take over raising the children from the parents. I have chosen it vaccinate my children but if other parents chose not to I feel that is their choice as parents.
  •  
    I think it shouldn't be mandatory for parents to vaccinate their children. Every parent has their beliefs and doubts when it comes to medications.
  •  
    I understand that children's health is at risk but most parents accept vaccinations for their children. This means that a majority of the population has protection against these diseases and an outbreak is unlikely to happen even for those children who are not vaccinated. Ultimately, it should be the parents' decision whether or not they want vaccinations for their children.
  •  
    a parent should always have a say in what medically happens to their child. what if they are allergic to the vaccine or other issues
  •  
    I think it is absurd and over steps the bounds of a parents decision in proper rearing of a child. I myself had no vaccinations up until I worked for a hospital before I was 20. At that point it was mandatory that I have the injections or find another place of employment. It was my choice then and I do appreciate my parents leaving it up to me to decide what is put into my body. With all the recent cross contamination's and impure batches I can understand the concern of giving a small child these shots.
  •  
    I think agree with destini, if we have talking about personal freedoms in all of these assignment then the individual should get to choose what they want to do. If a parent does it for them, then it was never a choice in the first place.
  •  
    Young children can not make the decision themselves. That right is the given the parents that conceived them.

    Do you know the number of articles in the US Constitution? Can you identify the right outlined in the Fourth Amendment? Any idea which amendment abolished slavery? Most Americans can only guess at the answers. In fact, a paltry 6 percent understand the rights and freedoms found in the First Amendment, reports The National Constitution Center, a nonprofit organization in Philadelphia.

    This article is just a couple of quotes that are used to describe our freedoms. A couple of constitutional beliefs are stated by the courts. I believe that this is a good one to choose because it has two, sound government employees standing up for our freedoms.

DREAM Act - 0 views

  •  
    The whole purpose of this website is to inform people of each requirement that is needed for a young person to receive the benefits of the DREAM act. Some of these requirements include being in the United States for at least 5 years without leaving. This bill does not guarantee them citizenship right away but what it does is it lets them stay in the United States if they agree to either join the U.S military or attend college. Mostly all illegal immigrant students want to do both so it benefits them in many ways, since it is already in their minds.

How Dumb Are We? - 0 views

  •  
    They're the sort of scores that drive high-school history teachers to drink. When NEWSWEEK recently asked 1,000 U.S. citizens to take America's official citizenship test, 29 percent couldn't name the vice president. Seventy-three percent couldn't correctly say why we fought the Cold War. Forty-four percent were unable to define the Bill of Rights.

    This article was very interesting! I'm glad that these young adults have people that are advocating for them because I don't think that it is right for them to be forced into the same deportation units as other illegals, just because they didn't have a choice in the matter.

Congress is voting on Planned Parenthood again - 0 views

  •  
    congress voted another time to take away funds to planned parenthood. Reimbursing members and abortion included in the plan are big reasons why.
  •  
    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.

Law Will Allow Employers to Fire Women for Using Whore Pills - 1 views

  •  
    A proposed new law in Arizona would give employers the power to request that women being prescribed birth control pills provide proof that they're using it for non-sexual reasons. And because Arizona's an at-will employment state, that means that bosses critical of their female employees' sex lives could fire them as a result. I like that this article gets down to the nit and grit of what an outlandish claim everyone is making against birth control. This article is explaining how invasive this policy is to allow employers to decide on whether to provide insurance for birth control.
  •  
    This proposed bill actually says that an employer can ask to see a doctors note saying that the woman is perscribed birth control, but has to be for other reasons than not wanting to get pregnant.

Gun Control Around the World: A Primer - 1 views

  •  
    This article looks at the gun control laws in other countries and the reasons why they developed those laws. IN 2012 the death of 20 children at a school in Newtown Connecticut caused an upraise in the debate on whether we should have a more strict gun control law or not. President Obama tried getting semi-automatics and military style weapons banned and having a more strict background check was defeated in the senate in 2013. Since the mass shootings in 2015 Obama is trying to rekindle the bill.
