Don't defund Planned Parenthood (Opinion) - 1 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.

The security vs. privacy debate is already over, and privacy lost - 0 views

  •  
    As technology becomes more popular, we begin to lose our privacy. The internet is becoming harder to avoid, and personal lives are becoming more public. Websites track your use of the internet- where you go, what you do, etc. In some ways this can be beneficial, as people cannot hide who they are anymore. IRS scandals, disease outbreaks, companies abusing power; all at our fingertips. This has sparked the debate between what is more important: your privacy? or our nation's security?
  •  
    This article explains that there is basically no debate anymore over privacy vs security; privacy lost long ago. With the advent of the "information age" privacy largely died quietly and without much thought. Now that things like Google and Facebook exist, and we spit out private information without much thought, the debate is over.
