    Recent videos suggesting that Planned Parenthood Federation of America affiliates are harvesting and selling the body parts of aborted unborn children have led to renewed calls for Congress to end taxpayer funding of the nation's largest abortion provider.

    The new voting law requiring the presentation of a state issued ID before casting a vote is creating quite a controversy. The Democrats are relating this law to Jim Crow. This law should not a very big issue if your a US citizen. If you do not have an ID you cannot contribute very much to our country because almost every job would require to see an ID.

    congress voted another time to take away funds to planned parenthood. Reimbursing members and abortion included in the plan are big reasons why.

    Planned Parenthood is once again being voted on whether to stay funded or to be defunded. The house of reps is expected to pass a bill that will about 450 million out of planned parenthood. The Govt. has not funded the abortion side of planned parenthood since 1976, so some Democrats criticize them.

    I feel like the gun control that is currently in place is good, but we need to help people get trained for better safety if a situation arises!
  • Jesus Chino on 27 Feb 16
     
    Gun control in my opinion should be regulated, not be taken away from the rights of Americans. Some people can be dangerous with huge amounts of firearms without regulations.

    Shootings by police per month in 2016 Shootings by police per month in 2015 Shooting deaths per million residents, by state So far this year, there have been shootings per million people nationwide. The highest state rates fall in the South and West. Locations of the shootings Each marks the location of a deadly shooting.

    I think that it is great that people are looking at both shootings made by not only regular people yet also people that are shot by the police. I think it is an interesting statistic to look at.

    It is good to get the stats on the number of people killed by the police and other individuals. That way, no harsh bias can be argued.

    Between the 9/11 terrorists attacks and Edward Snowden's whistle blowing, American's have been debating over whether it is against our constitution to collect massive amounts of data on our citizens through internet uses and phone calls, or it our country's security is more important.
  • Daniel Andrade on 27 Feb 16
     
    Years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and two years after Edward Snowden's revelations about extensive U.S. government surveillance of phone and internet data, Americans have mixed and conflicting views about government surveillance programs. On the one hand, a majority of Americans oppose the government collecting bulk data on its citizens, others believe there aren't enough limits on what types of data can be collected.
  • Jesus Chino on 27 Feb 16
     
    Terrorism certainly created more fear in the west and Americans wanted to feel more safe. Even if it means sacrificing some personal freedoms so that the government catches the crimes before they happen. Recently, it's been seen that it has gotten out of control more than anticipated.

    Since the choice to abort is one of the biggest reasons why people want to defund planned parenthood it is being looked at as more of a moral decision. The way democrats and republicans feel on this topic is completely different therefore has been making it harder to make the decision on it. Defunding planned parenthood for this reason would basically be taking away a women's right to choose.
  • Jesus Chino on 27 Feb 16
     
    I agree with your statement. It should ultimately be a women's choice and not let politicians decide a woman's decision. Everyone has a right to decide what is best for them without controversies and looking down at.

    Americans are divided over whether or not the U.S. government has gone too far in using surveillance practices that infringe on citizens' privacy, an NBC News online survey found. While 38 percent of Americans say the government's surveillance program has gone too far in infringing on people's privacy, 35 percent say the government's program has been relatively balanced between privacy concerns and fighting terrorism.

    What Edward Snowden has done is to force a long repressed debate about how much liberty, if any, we need to sacrifice in order to protect our security. Before his leaks, that urgent conversation was a non-debate because the violations of liberty were being done entirely in secret, beyond the reach of democratic deliberation.

    President Obama signed legislation into law on Tuesday evening reinstating key counterterrorism laws and reforming the government's surveillance powers. The announcement from the White House that Obama had signed the USA Freedom Act came a few hours after the bill sailed through the Senate 67-32, following a protracted debate that lasted for weeks and forced some of the provisions to expire for nearly two days.

    Mass surveillance is the subjection of a population or significant component of a group to indiscriminate monitoring. It involves a systematic interference with people's right to privacy. Any system that generates and collects data on individuals without attempting to limit the dataset to well-defined targeted individuals is a form of mass surveillance.

    A person is much, much more likely to be killed by a gun in the United States than in any of these other countries, and it isn't remotely close. The gun homicide rate in the United States was more than 25 times higher than in other high-income countries, according to a new study in the American Journal of Medicine that examined death rates per 100,000 people.

    I do agree with the fact that people in america are more likely to be killed due to gun violence. But i think it is because our country is more privileged when it comes to even having access to them.

    Thee anti-discrimination laws intertwine with religious liberties. There are many things that people do in a day to day basis that they can be discriminated on whether it is getting a wedding cake or going out to eat where they can be denied. Yet it has also opened a wide range of possibilities for those who were being discriminated on to go other places for their choices.
