    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.

    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.

    Women in Saudi Arabia are pushing hard to get these needed laws approved such like the right to vote. The King has been nice enough to start the proccess even though the women will have to vote in the election on 2015. Still they are trying to get thier percentage of working women in the fied high just as men. The women from Saudi Arabia will now be pushing toward educational rights.

    This article discusses how enethough women are closing in on the income gap between men and women there is still a 25% difference. There are more women in college and receiving degrees now than men yet there is not a change in amount of pay. It is also more likely for women to live in poverty than men.

    Even now in 2012 women are still not treated equally. Last year it was reported that women make 75% of what men make. Even though women are more likely to have a college education women continue to make less than men.

    Major Mary Jennings Hegar had always dreamed of being an airforce pilot, and now that she is, she has faced discrimination because of the exclusionary policy. A policy that excludes women from doing certain jobs because they aren't seen as being capable of them. Women in the military are fighting everyday to get rid of these double standards.

    This article is about the vast difference in income between men and women. The article gives specific examples of how men in the same position as a women receive substantially more. It is said that women earn $.78 for every $1.00 that a man earns for the same job. Even worse, a women higher up earns only $.33 for every $1.00 a man with the same position.

    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.
  • lukemclellan on 03 Feb 15
     
    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.

    Family-planning programs boost incomes, reduce poverty, and ease the load on America's safety net. And yet, Republicans can't seem to condemn them strongly enough. Investing in reproductive health isn't just good for women and their families-it's good for the economy. (nmw)

    If planned parenthood were to be defunded, it is predicted that the government would end up spending more in the long run on public assistance. Planned parenthood provides many services for women, one of them being birth control. Statistics in this article show that women who used birth control were easily able to finish school, find jobs, and create a steady life before having children. Defunding this organization would cost America more money in the bigger scheme of things.
  • jasminebrown2 on 05 Mar 16
     
    The author believes planned parenthood is positive. It boosts the economy because those women have the chance to plan their pregnancies and prevent unwanted ones.

    This is just a little article that compares breastfeeding to Rosa Parks taking her seat on the bus and Martin Luther King Jr. on civil rights. Women in Seattle are now able to breastfeed in public without having to cover up or leave a public place. It is a womens violation of rights to have to cease feeding her child in public even if it is from her breast.

    The article discusses the rights of breastfeeding mothers to feed their babies in public. Many places do allow access for women to breast feed, but some places do not allow breastfeeding in public although it may be banned from the state law's indecent exposure laws.

    This site goes into full detail on religious rite and civil rights, what is the point of gay's getting married, and many other arguments. In a religious stand point if gay marriage is legalized it will look to many as a defeat for their religion. In another point for the people who say marriage is between a man and women, and how we need to define who is a man and who is a woman.

Law Will Allow Employers to Fire Women for Using Whore Pills - 1 views

    A proposed new law in Arizona would give employers the power to request that women being prescribed birth control pills provide proof that they're using it for non-sexual reasons. And because Arizona's an at-will employment state, that means that bosses critical of their female employees' sex lives could fire them as a result. I like that this article gets down to the nit and grit of what an outlandish claim everyone is making against birth control. This article is explaining how invasive this policy is to allow employers to decide on whether to provide insurance for birth control.
  • Christina Cram on 03 Sep 12
     
    This proposed bill actually says that an employer can ask to see a doctors note saying that the woman is perscribed birth control, but has to be for other reasons than not wanting to get pregnant.

    Focuses of the amount it would cost the government to completely get rid of Planned Parenthood. Many countries besides the U.S have Planned Parenthood clinics where there are no other option for women that cannot afford medical care to get the services they need.
  • kailey14 on 05 Feb 16
     
    The unwanted pregnancies and births that abolishing Planned Parenthood would bring, will only end up costing the government more in the long-run. This action would also take away an essential health care provider for women with no other options.
  • Jessica Brickie on 26 Feb 16
     
    Defunding planned parenthood would end up costing the government more in the end. Since planned parenthood does more than just abortions through their organization it would cause health care for women aside from abortions to be taken away from them. Therefore that can present a huge problem in the future if that were to happen.
