This article explains GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum's radical views concerning abortion. He claims that, even if his own daughter was raped, he would encourage her not to have an abortion and to "make the best out of a bad situation." He feels that every baby is a gift from God, even if it is conceived through rape.

With planned parenthood comes controversy, and opinions range from pro-abortion and anti-planned parenthood, to being against both. But Sarah Torre gives seven good reasons planned parenthood should not be given government funding. According to Torre, Planned parenthood pushes abortions, instead of education about precautionary measures. They oppose laws that protect women and children, and they only care about their profit, and they don't even provide the best care.

For young adults, the "right" to eat healthy food may be more closely associated with the right to understand how food choices impact their health. Without information and understanding, it can be argued that young people may not be in a position to advocate for themselves or to act in their own best interests. In this article, a secondary issue takes center stage: there are economic implications for the availability and sales of junk food to young adults.

Grandparents Rights differ from state to state, but it is not uncommon to hear stories of grandparents who do not get so much as visitation with their grandchildren. If parents object to their children having visitation with their grandparents, the court will oblige, treating the grandparents as if they were strangers. It is possible for grandparents to petition the court for custody or visitation, if the courts find it in the best interest of the child.

immigration law personal+freedoms killing Robert Krentz

shared by Elizabeth Brzezinski on 05 Jun 12 - Cached

Robert N. Krentz Jr., 58, the scion of one of the best-known and oldest ranching families here in southeast Arizona, was found shot to death March 27 on his vast, remote ranch north of here after radioing to his brother that he was aiding someone he believed to be an illegal immigrant. Mr. Krentz went missing shortly after that call, and the police found his body several hours later in his all-terrain vehicle, his guns untouched in the back, his dog shot and critically wounded. Fresh footprints led from the scene to the Mexican border 20 miles away. Given Mr. Krentz’s radio transmission, the footprints and heavy drug and illegal immigrant trafficking in that area, investigators are working on the assumption that he encountered a smuggler, possibly heading back to Mexico.

Clues led to the possibility that it may have been an illegal alien who shot and killed Mr. Krentz. This event occurred during the heated debate as to whether Arizona's new immigration law, requiring documentation of legal status in the United States, should go into effect.

This is an interesting subject. The overall education of the student is most important. But the fact that a student is limited to one school because of their location or parents' financial situation isn't all that fair, so it would be nice for parents to be able to use funding for their student to go to the school of their choice (public or private).

I understand why you have to go to school close to where you live especially if you don't have much money. A child needs a reliable eduction and if the parent lives to far and doesn't have much money it will make it hard on the parent and child to go to school. My dad is a High school teacher a Central High school here in Phoenix and has to deal with a lot. He finds that the students who live further away with less money tend to drop out or fail class due to not being able to afford bus passes or gas money. It truly is a sad thing but I believe going to school close to your home is best way to go in the long run.

It is very important in the present day for children to get a good education and the child should not have to suffer a poor education because of where they live. If the parents can not afford to live in a neighborhood with the top performance schools they should still be able to send their child to a good school and even if it means the child has to take the bus or car pool.

Although many people live in districts that have the funding for an excellent staff that is required to create a good learning environment, there are some parents that do not have that luxury. Being at a good school is what ultimately gets students out of the 'poverty cycle' or not. If a student does live in a bad neighborhood and has the possibility of attending a better neighborhood even if it is a bus ride or drive away it should be up to them ultimately if they want to make that change and commute for the better learning environment.

Individuals should be able to consume as much soda as they want. I think that there should be more education about how drinking soda in excess can lead to obesity. Maybe warning labels on soda to remind people of the effects of drinking sugary beverages. I think it is then up to each individual to make the decision of how much soda they consume.

I total understand the ban, since most Americans don't pay attention to the main ingredient in soda which is "high fructose corn syrup". Research has shown high fructose corn syrup is as addictive as cocaine yet there are no laws regulating the use and quantity of it in food and beverages. High consumption of high fructose corn syrup has been proven to cause obesity and diabetes. There's not enough public education regarding this ingredient to enable consumers to make intelligent choices when consuming beverages and lobbyist lobby the government to make sure it stays this way.

I like how this article has statistics and shows how many people don't agree with this outrageous ban.
