Prenatal care and tests - 1 views

  •  
    This site is informative in giving women information about their prenatal care. It educates women about the different options they have in choosing a prenatal care provider along with the options for delivering the baby. It also takes you thru what to expect in your prenatal visits and the tests that should be run in order to provide essential good quality prenatal care.
  •  
    It would be smart for a pregnant women to know about the different options she has for the birth of her child. Women should seek the different specialized doctors to be educated on the healthiest way to give birth. More knowledge for the mother equals a healthier baby.
  •  
    this was really cool to read I mean obviously it is important for women to understand how this all works, but I think its equally as important for the guys to read and understand that way they can be more knowledgable and be more involved in the process.

All the signatures that are being gathered by all the supports is a huge effort towards what is a personal freedom.

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.

End Compulsory Schooling - 0 views

    Individuals are finding another way to educate their children. As each state has an education law that requires children to but in school. With home education children have the ability to learn and embrace their interests.

    This article is about how school mandates are restricting personal freedoms. The ideals of authors viewpoints on the subject.
  •  
    Where should learning take place? Home schooling is an alternative to public education. Children are place under a greater amount of pressure due to testing, having to learn the curriculum taught in a short amount of time, tests, when they start school and attendance in school. With home schooling most of the stress is erased.
  •  
    In this article, the author talks about the public schooling system as a forced act on our society that actually makes the future of education worse for us. Instead of letting our children think for themselves, learn the trades they wish to learn, and force them to attend for a certain amount of time, we are taking away their personal freedoms of education. Many people are pushed to thinking that a set school rubric will help every child to get the education they need for their future, but according to the views of the author, they don't. The author's view is that society should be looking more into home schooling and trade schooling to help the United States grow to be more productive for the future. Every generation, school is seen more as a prison; molding our future to think as the way the government wants them to think. But if we were to give freedom to complete schooling outside of force, children will regain their excitement for learning and pursue to better our nation on their own free will.
  •  
    An interesting article on the state of our education system and how the direction we have gone with it seems to be lacking. Lending itself to breaking the ideas that people have about how a child "must" learn, the article offers up that those ideas are not often the case.

The Medical Arguments Against Legalizing Prostitution - 0 views

  •  
    From a medical view there are many reasons not to legalize prostitution. STD's could be tested for in advance but the testing could not keep up with the amount of partners a prostitute would have. The health risks are too dangerous to chance.
  •  
    Article on why prostitution should not be legalized using medical analysis.  Very short but very thorough with many cited works.

  •  
    This article basically provides facts and statistics of gun violence throughout the years. It breaks down the different gun violence over the years. The amount of people who own guns today continue to increase dramatically, especially due the recent mass shootings.
  •  
    Allegedly Japan, as a country, has unified their gun control. You would have to pass competency tests for mental stability as well as physical competency tests to qualify for a gun license, and even then the Japanese government has a hold of firearm production which can limit the output of firearms.

Workplaces ban not only smoking, but smokers themselves - 0 views

  •  
    As bans on smoking sweep the USA, an increasing number of employers - primarily hospitals - are also imposing bans on smokers. They won't hire applicants whose urine tests positive for nicotine use, whether cigarettes, smokeless tobacco or even patches. Smokers are not only getting the cold shoulder from non-smokers it can now depend on whether they are able to get hired as well. Employers are now asking new hires if they are smokers or not, and if there is evidence in their urine of tobacco use it could damage their chances of getting hired.

'Gunfight: The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America' by Adam Winkler - 0 views

  •  
    This article is about a journalist reaction to a writer's book about Gun Rights.
  •  
    I agree that with allowing everyone to carry a gun we endanger others and I believe there should be me test and screening before we can carry guns. .
  •  
    I find this article interesting because it informs the reader that gun control has been such a debated topic for decades now. Also what is more interesting is that depending on the situation people are hesitate to allow the second amendment to pass during tough times like during the panthers era or the wild west.This article just makes you think why is there pendulum for strict gun restriction in one decade and no strict gun control in this decade. For instance, because of the sandy hook elementary shooting are we more afraid of this situation to happen again so we keep our guns tighter in our pockets or do we allow the government to handle this for us?

Older, dangerous drivers a growing problem - 0 views

  •  
    The nation's accident statistics on elderly drivers is almost as high or as high, depending on the age, as teenage drivers. Some states require more thorough driving tests to determine if an elderly person is capable of driving. The fear of having their "independence" taken from them is the biggest fear among the senior population when dealing with stricter restrictions for obtaining a driver's license.
