    An Arizona rancher is sued by 16 illegal immigrants for violating their civil rights. The attorney for the 16 says that they were held at gun point and their lives threatened. The rancher argues his case that a major drug highway is passing through his house and it is his right to protect himself.

    This is a list of rights and benefits same-sex marriages will received from tax and government benefits to medical and family benefits. At the end it also tells that this benefits are only for same-sex couples that live in certain states and how these do NOT apply to domestic partners or the civil union.

    I found this website very helpful in the breakdown of benefits that same-sex couples are looking to gain through marriage. Which further added to my support of gay marriages.

    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.
  • Brittany Aguirre on 31 Aug 13
     
    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.
  • Donette Fincher on 01 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • alexis casillas on 01 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • JENNIFER MOLINA on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Destini Boorman on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Latisha Brown on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Rick Gordon on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Brandon Charette on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.

    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.
  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    I am all for gay marriage. I think if a couple is happy with one another then let them be happy. There are many benefits to being married and I think they should be allowed to get married.
  • lukemclellan on 03 Feb 15
     
    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.

    How Arizona voters voted that marriage was a union of one man and one women. Just just two years after they rejected a similar though broader amendment, making Arizona the first state in the Union to reject a ballot initiative aimed at preventing gay marriage.

    Mid 2010, Arizona defined marraige as between a man and a woman. Arizona has a ways to go for equal rights.

    Under equal protection, same sex couples should have the freedom and support to marry their loved ones. Religious faiths that are opposed to the idea are free to not support the couples. Under DOMA each state was given the right to define marriage.
  • JENNIFER MOLINA on 01 Sep 13
     
    If same sex couples meet the set forth requirements to be a common law couple they should be able to marry and be treated equally.
  • Donette Fincher on 01 Sep 13
     
    Provisions of DOMA were recently struck down which gave same sex couples equal protection under federal laws. A recent development that's getting little attention is churches are changing their bylaws to protect themselves from lawsuits by the LGBT community. The bylaws are taking up where DOMA was struck down, declaring the church only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman.

    The National Defense Authorization Act allows the armed forces to detain any person that he/she feels has committed an aggressive act. The NDAA violates out 5th amendment that allows no person to "be deprive of liberty, or property, without due process of law.

    President Obama is still on the fence whether or not he should allow same-sex marriages to pass in the United States. It has been said that Obama advocates same-sex, but is still "working on it". He believes they should be able to have civil freedoms, but could not engage in marriage.

    Its champions have argued it's a symbol of Southern culture, the historic flag of the South. Critics say it's a racist symbol that represents a war to uphold slavery and, later, a battle to oppose civil rights advances. We take a look at the flags of the Confederacy to sort out the facts.
