    The article discusses the decision to limit the sale of the Morning-After-Pill to women that are 17 years old and older. The decision is based on the uncertainty of the reaction to the medication in younger girls that are 10 or  11 years of age

    "Super PACs arose after the 2010 Supreme Court decisions in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Committee, which said that corporations could donate to political candidates because of free speech, and Speechnow.org vs. Federal Election Committee, which states that individuals cannot be limited in how much they donate to corporations because of free speech. Many were not pleased with this decision because it has paved the way for billionaires like Adelson and George Soros to funnel as much money as they please into campaigns both publicly and anonymously."

    Before choosing abortion you have to asked yourself many questions. Make a list to help you decide about abortion. Answer each question and find the best place for you. Hear both side of the Pros and Cons before making a final decision.

    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.
  • springdb on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Nicolas Buenrostro on 02 Sep 13
     
    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
  • Destini Boorman on 03 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • andrew nunez on 03 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Julia Laborin on 05 Sep 13
     
    Young children can not make the decision themselves. That right is the given the parents that conceived them.

    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.

    Only one state, Oregon, has legalized assisted suicide. The Oregon statute, which went into effect in October 1997, provides that a doctor may prescribe, but not administer, a lethal dose of medication to a patient who has less than six months to live. Two doctors must agree that the patient is mentally competent and that the decision was voluntary. As of April 1999, 23 patients were given drugs under the statute, and 15 of them used the drugs to commit suicide. A report released by the Oregon state Health Division reviewing the first year of the law's implementation found that the law was working well and had not been subject to abuse.

    The abortionc law may not be the killer, but it contributes to the problem. Although most women have those rights to make decisions for them selves now, it is happening more than ever before. They are living with these deep secrets but talk about it as though it was a piece of cake. I know they must feel bad. The abortion law is not safe either.

    as part of our personal freedoms women should be allowed to have an abortion, or as many as they want.Many American believe abortion freedom is as important as the right to free speech, and the right to vote.

    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.
  • Alexandria Miles on 31 Aug 13
     
    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.
  • Brittany Aguirre on 31 Aug 13
     
    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.
  • JENNIFER MOLINA on 01 Sep 13
     
    The freedom for a women to choose to have an abortion is her personal freedom its should remain her and only hers. This freedom has been allowed to women by the scarifice of thousands of women before us.
  • alexis casillas on 01 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.

    This article talks about the three steps of possible repercaucions on getting a dui. Throughout reading this article i personally think drinking and driving is iresponcible and i do not condone it. If you make that decision you should not be allowed to drink, I believe if you get a dui, there can be mistakes or mess ups. But if you get a second dui you should not be allowed to drive, becasue you clearly can't make the right decisions, period.

    Although we have the freedom to make choices on a daily basis, I don't think people realize how much the media influences those choices. Can we really call it a "personal freedom" when so many of our choices are based on what we see on tv or the internet? This article touches on how the media, from commercials to porn, influence the decisions we make day to day. We can learn a lot from what we see, hear or read from the media but when is it too much?

    My conception of ethically permissible behavior is based on the view that any decision is ethically permitted if it is voluntary and does not cause gratuitous harm to others. This is congruent with the early ethical stricture in medicine, Primum non nocere, "First, do no harm." However, our perception of harm must be qualified. A living being can be harmed without being harmed in a moral sense. I harm a mosquito when I swat it, but I do not harm it in a moral sense unless I assign a moral absolute value to the mosquito's well-being. To be harmed in a moral sense is to be wronged. Thus, my concern is with behavior that does or does not wrong another.

    Gun control and violence is always a popular topic in debates. However it goes nowhere. Those that are pro-gun control do not use valid facts to back up their reasoning on why parts of our freedoms should be taken away. It will never be harder or impossible for felons/bad people to find guns. Yes, they are wanting to confiscate guns. Buying a gun is not as easy as buying groceries, there are laws in place that restrict who can buy guns legally. Concealed carriers do stop mass shootings. There are lots of myths that come along with the debates, and no one should make a decision without doing research.

    This law was proposed in order to fight childhood obesity. It was vetoed, however. This is such a close argument I can see one going either direction, but it is a private company so they do have the right to regulate their own menu. Parents also have the right to make smart decisions.

    This article brings to light just one facet of the US government that is under the control of corporations. Pharmaceutical companies are part of the corporate wheel that runs the world. In an effort to disguise this fact and make a public show of denouncing their corporate overlords, the government permitted a study to prove some vaccines are unnecessary. Does this mean anything in the long run? Will the government throw off its shackles? The answer to both questions is a resounding no.

    More and more employers are starting to make your personal Facebook information apart of the process in getting a job. The fact that there is personal information such as religion or sexual preferences may sway the employer to discriminate against a potential employee by making decisions based on the information. The question still lingers though, is this inquiry for your information legal?
