    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.
  •  
    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.

    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.

    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.

    Abortion has two very strong sides, pro life and pro choice Pro life individuals believe that the fetus has the right to live , as the mother has a right to live. Pro choice argues that the mother has the decision whether to terminate per pregnancy within the first 3 months.

Physician-Assisted Suicide - Introduction - 1 views

  •  
    This website discusses the issue of physician-assisted suicide. It explores the ethics of such an act, as well as the proliferation of such requests. It offers the opinion that doctors must respect the patient's wishes not to endure life-prolonging treatments that do little to help the patient's quality of life. However, it does not advocate nor denigrate assisted suicide.

  •  
    Could you imagine having to put a sign in your yard that stated: "DANGER: REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER LIVES HERE." Juan Garcia made a huge stupid mistake by touching a 14 year old girl. He did his time in prison for it. Should he have to deal with it for the rest of his life? Should they be registered everywhere for everyone to see? Juan's whole life changed because of one mistake. He will pay for it by being embarrassed and always looking over his shoulder.

Defunding Planned Parenthood Is the Opposite of "Pro-Life" - 1 views

  •  
    Planned Parenthood isn't just about abortions. Defunding Planned Parenthood doesn't just effect abortions as many Republicans and "pro-life" activist would like to think. Planned Parenthood provides birth control, breast exams, pap-smears, and sexual education classes. And get this, government funding isn't even used for abortions in the first place!
  •  
    Planned Parenthood offers more diverse health-care than just abortions. Planned Parenthood provides essential medical practices to women who could not otherwise afford them. The fight against this establishment is only scaling the top of this issue. This is not a fight against supporting abortion, this is a fight to keep women feeling safe with knowing they have a place to turn when they need medical assistance.

    Oregon has a system in place for people to make some choices about their end of life care and whether they want to have their lives sustained or not. The state has set up a database for EMT's and doctors to make it easier to follow the wishes of the patients. Most patients who fill out the POLSR don't want to be resuscitated.

Gay Won't Go Away, Genetic or Not - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    The gay community has a hard time defending their rights as it is, and in this article, they are still defending that it is not by choice to be gay. Many are in outrage when a woman changes from a marriage with a man to a life and engagement with a woman "by choice". Either by birth, or by choice sexuality preference will always be at debate and under scrutiny.

    While the Constitution aims to separate church and state. We see that "church" can be an influential part of a person's life. Some are more strongly led by religion than others. When such a person holds political office, their religious views, sometimes inadvertently, comes to take shape in politics.

Oregon's Law Withstands the Test of Time - 2 views

  •  
    This article talks about Oregon's Death with Dignity Act passed in 1997. It reviews your personal freedom to die at a time & place of your choice if your facing a terminal illness.

    This is a great article. I believe that a person who is facing a fatal debilitating illness should be able to die peacefully and with as much dignity as possible. It should be a personal choice how, where and with whom you die.
  •  
    I agree that this is a good article. I wrote a paper last year on this topic. Its very interesting and there are many articles that describe the pros and cons. I also believe it is a right to be able to die when a person is in such pain and bad health.
  •  
    Very good article and very forward thinking. It's good to see states are taking an interest and putting legislation into place to protect a terminally ill person's right to die with diginity.
  •  
    This content of this article gives me mixed feelings. I agree mostly on the side of helping miserable suffering people end their lives without pain. On the other hand i feel bad for families that would have to be going through this and it almost makes me feel like the person tired of living might be slightly selfish? At the same time, there are some terribly painful illness' that no one should have to go through.
  •  
    The article was different and to the point. Choices of an individual that is suffering from his or her own terminal illness should have their choice on what they want to do in their final days.
  •  
    I think this is an awesome article, and a very important law. I would cautiously compare it to the living will statement of "Do not resuscitate." Last wishes should always be respected regardless of what anyone else may think. As long as it is within the bounds of compassion and humanity I find nothing wrong with choosing how one wants to exit life.
  •  
    This article was very interesting and I have to say I agree with the right to be able to choose the time and place you will die. The way your life ends (if you can control it) is a very civil and peaceful freedom we should all be allowed to take advantage of.
  •  
    This was a good article, but I have to agree with Alexis, I have mixed feelings as well. I personally don't agree with assisted suicide. To me, suicide is suicide, and I feel that people should die in the natural way.
  •  
    This is surprising to see in the way that it has been kept underground and has had successful results. Although it is not surprising that many terminally ill patients would opt for this.
  •  
    This article is a tough one. I agree with everything everyone is saying, but initially it is about the person who is suffering. If one of my family members were suffering with an illness that unfortunately ended with an early death and they were in horrible pain, I would rather tem be at peace and end their suffering if it is what they wanted.
