    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.

    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.
  • 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.

    A number of movements to legalize the use of marijuana have been gaining steam lately. There are places in California where it's already legal for medicinal purposes. Much of the American public now believes that the drug should be legalized (40 percent according to a Rasmussen International Poll) but others are still concerned about health damage and other adverse affects.

    This period of destabilization can result in a serious setback to the progress that the patient has made when properly medicated. As their behaviors become increasingly troublesome to others, these people risk alienating their support systems, and they jeopardize the scarce resources that have been arranged for them.

    This article talks about the negative response from a surprising number of readers of Babytalk Magazine when a 2006 magazine cover displayed part of a woman's breast and a baby nursing. While a number of readers were put off by the photo, another responded that she wants people to realize that a breast is more than just a sex object. It goes on to discuss celebrity support for public breast-feeding and how many retailers and restaurants who antagonize breast-feeding women have been subject to "nurse-ins." One of the best lines from the article is from a woman who refuses to feed in a public, questionably clean restroom stating, ""My kid needed to eat. I don't send people to the bathroom when THEY want to eat."

    Several states are considering passing laws like a bill that was recently passed in Tennessee outlawing parts of Islamic Shariah law. Shariah law is an Islamic way of settling disputes while taking religious tenets into account. Supporters of the bill feel that allowing the practice of Shariah law within the United States will denigrate the Judeo-Christian foundation of the U.S., however protesters argue that creating such laws will erode the very foundation of American democracy and freedom of religion.

    This article is a bash on the ObamaCare plan. It states that in places like Massachussetts and Maine the taxpayers are paying 20 percent more than they used to because they are also paying for others' medical bills. Many also say that Obama is trying to support "free riders" and is not making everyone be responsible for themselves.

    The article goes over many of the issues that parents, teachers, and children are having with common core. Parents are noticing children having an increased stressed level which they attribute to common core. In the authors opinion, teachers are required to follow a script, for fear of job loss. Some programs have also been cut from school like PE and Music.

    I don't think the common core is good. Kids at the age of 6 should not be stressed. The programs that have been cut were actually a good way for kids to engage and explore in what they are really interested in for the future time.
  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    No six year old or any child should be stressed out about school until at least high school. The core is defiantly not a good thing to have for any education.
  • lukemclellan on 03 Feb 15
     
    the fact that schools have to cut programs just to support this "teaching style/ criteria" is insane. Music and gym and various other activities are ways for kids to get out of the cultural norm of academia and express themselves. I cant even imagine what my school would of been like without those things.

    Gay marriage talks about both legal issues and social argument issues. Legal argument grab more attention because they involve civil and equal rights. Gay marriage should respected, no matter if people don't like the fact of gay marriage. People believe that gay marriage is harmful, but there is no prove. There are good reasons to legalized gay marriage because it would benefit us all.

    There is obviously more benefits for gay couples to be legally married. I think everyone should be happy and that there should be no law to say otherwise. If gay couples are allowed to get married not nly does it help them but also for the people around them.

    to be honest in this day and age I cant even believe this is still an issue? I completely support gay marriage if they want to live together forever just like everyone else I say go right ahead.

    Same sex marriage also want families just like traditional marriage. Adopt increases in gay couples because they can not have kids the natural way. This way benefits adoption and kids around the world. Although, people say that gay couples don't help childern develop. However, same - sex adoptions have yet to become widespread.
  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    Gay couples should be able to get married due to many reasons. First things first marriage is about love, and if a law is the only thing holding a couple back is wrong. It does not hurt anyone, and everyone should be allowed to be happy.

    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!
  • kailey14 on 26 Jan 16
     
    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.

    In April, the Senate rejected the Toomey-Manchin gun control proposal. In the wake of its defeat many wonder why give this a chance to be passed. Trying to make every gun legal to buy wont be easy to do. Creating the right to purchase a firearm no short cuts. Make it difficult for people who do not have license to sell them on the streets.
