    Gun violence has been a rising issue within the last few years, especially with the number of mass shootings. Most people think that mental health issues are what cause these incidents. But even professionals think that if all mental health problems were solved there would still be issues with gun violence.

    Civic leaders, activists, artists and others are celebrating, marching and paying homage Monday to Martin Luther King Jr., marking the 30th anniversary of the federal holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader. In South Carolina, civil rights leaders planned a march to their state capitol as in past years when their rally highlighted calls to remove the Confederate flag from Statehouse grounds.

    I'm really glad this symbol is being recognized and taken down in other states, especially those with discriminating acts recently taking place.

    I think this is a great thing. Especially considering all of the racial issues we have been having lately through out the country I think this is a huge step in the right direction.

    Many people see planned parenthood as an organization that has been taking money from the government to fund abortions among many other issues. It's thought that this shouldn't be the case because there are so many other health care services in the states that provide the same services as well as many more services too. The break down of some of the expenses show why continuing to fund planned parenthood would not be the best solution for the tax payers money.

    Arizona has tried many things to stop illegal immigrants from coming into Arizona. Some of these things have included adding more police power by the borders, and building a wall. But what we really need to be looking at is stopping the illegal immigrants from getting what they want when they finally get into the United States because then they will stop coming in.

    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.

    An Arkansas teen says he was turned down when he tried to join the U.S. Marine Corps because of his "Southern Pride" Confederate flag tattoo. Anthony Bauswell shows his pride in his country upbringing with his tattoos, and to show pride in his country he walked into the Conway Marine recruiting center Monday to enlist.

    There are immigrants who legally came to the United States and went through the long, treacherous process the right way. Immigrants who have not followed the system are frowned on by the community that came to the United States through the legal immigration process.

    Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and his administration removed Planned Parenthood from Louisiana's medicare program and the clinics cannot provide sufficient health care services. Judge John deGravelles is skeptical about the assumption that Jindal's health secretary, Kathy Kliebert, is being used to terminate the Medicaid provider agreements Louisiana has with Planned Parenthood's clinics in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

Around 1,600 Virginians with state-issued Confederate flag plates received a letter last month from the DMV saying they had until October 4 to swap them out for new ones that don't show the flag.

    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.

    Native Americans and the US Government have been in an ongoing dispute. Many may be biased to what side they agree or disagree with only because it is a issue that the United States rarely talks about. This gives a deeper understanding of what happened in both ends of the party.
