In this brief article, a woman was reprimanded by her employer for breast-feeding her 3-month-old son in a Fort Brag mini-mall. Someone who was offended by the woman breast-feeding filed an anonymous complaint and a few days later the woman was told by her manager that the Army and Air Force Exchange Services, which manages military malls, has banned breast feeding.

This was an issue 11 years ago when I was a breastfeeding mom. I had no choice but to take my 8 week old baby with me to a mandatory work meeting. I had a "cover" that is made to drape over me like a pancho. You could see nothing. Not even the baby's feet! I was asked to leave the meeting. That also came with repercussions, obviously out of my control. The mind blowing part of this entire story is my boss was a mother that had nursed her baby when he was little. Wouldn't you think she would understand more than anyone? This article is interesting to me due to the fact that there are laws in place to keep mothers from breastfeeding their children. That is outrageous! You should not feel pressured to bottle feed your child. It is a personal choice. I as a parent, had weighed out the pros and cons of both. And I made the decision to give my daughter a healthy head start. Why should we as human beings, be punished for taking proper care of our children. In my opinion, people need to find something else to complain about. And they will!

Privacy is mostly an illusion. A useful illusion, no question about it, one that allows us to live without being paralyzed by self-consciousness. The illusion of privacy gives us room to be fully human, sharing intimacies and risking mistakes. But all the while, the line between private and public space is as porous as tissue paper.

Abortion doesn't sound good in any sense, but as humans we should have the right to do as we please. There are aboslutly some circumstances where people need the choice. i do not agree with abusing the right, people can't be getting pregnant every couple months and throwing the life away.

Choosing abortion is not a choice any woman is excited about or wants to choose but sometimes it is the only option. "Ending Planned Parenthood goes against the fundamental values of equality, mutual respect, and human rights that our country stands for."

The videos that surfaced of Planned Parenthood officials speaking of the collection of fetal tissue is unsettling, however this practice is not illegal. While I am not sure how ethical Planned Parenthood's practices are in collecting the tissue, I know that the researching of the tissue could provide many cures that humans are in desperate need of.

In previous posts, we've seen why Planned Parenthood has been threaten by being defund but what we don't know is why medical doctors prefer fetal tissue. Some say that it's because it can adapt easier than adult cells. Without fetal tissue, doctors would've never discovered vaccines and such to keep our human race on it's feet.

Apple shouldn't share their info. Once that backdoor is opened it can never be closed

I strongly believe whatever we sign or agree to with keeping our personal life a secret, there is always going to be something there violating our personal rights. We as humans are all different and come from different backgrounds but sine we are not the "law" or we do not know more than the FBI or Apple, they will continue to think it is okay to violate our privacy.
