...pregnancy, many women feel overwhelmed by their circumstances. Desperate for a “quick fix,” these women sometimes rush into an abortion decision before they’ve had an opportunity to fully explore all of their options. In general, there are two alternatives to abortion: adoption and parenting. However, within each of these categories, there are many arrangements that a woman can make to ensure the best possible outcome for her baby. One of the options is becoming a single parent, where many women consider abortion because they are not in a relationship with their baby's father and are not ready for the challenges of raising a baby alone.While single parenting can be difficult, it is an option that has become increasingly more common as reported in...

...2014 Corey Hunt Abortion Controversy: Women’s Right or Legalized Murder? Abortion is one of the most controversial debates of the century. Everyone knows someone who has been pregnant or debating having an abortion. There are plenty of reasons why women feel they need to terminate their pregnancy. The following information is for those who believe that abortion is the solution to their problem. Yes abortion is a legal solution to an unwanted pregnancy. Many pro-choice activists will argue the claim that it is a safe and relatively painless procedure. Abortions are morally and ethically wrong because they kill innocent unborn fetuses who have the right to life. During pregnancy, women give the unborn fetus the right to use their bodies. Abortion should be illegal because they defy the sanctity of human life, deny the mother the alternatives to having an abortion, and cause psychological side effects. Millions of people have died trying to defend their country, their freedom, and their families. Victims have been remembered through speeches and memorials, but why are those who seek justice for victims the same ones who defy the sanctity of human life and approve abortions. Let’s look in the Bible to see what is said about abortion. People can argue that it is unfair to quote the Bible on God’s view on abortion. Well, it is unfair because God is the creator of life. It is seen as a blessing to have children and a curse if you are childless. Abortion is an unthinkable...

...Writing Feedback / | Abortion: Why it should be Illegal. ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form juliat cungThreads: 1 Posts: 3 | Oct 25, 2009, 09:31pm #1 | Abortion has been a controversial topic for as long as the idea has existed. People argue that it is the mother's body, the mother's choice. Others say that a life is a life, no matter how small. Do you really think that anyone has the right to murder an innocent's human being? I disagree. Here`s is why it should be banned; many will argue that abortion is wrong because it's taking a human life, no matter what stage of pregnancy it is in, it's very bad for the mother's health and the after math of an abortion could very well go the opposite of what they had envisioned. Banning abortion can be a big achievement but it can always be done if it's compulsory. No one in the world has the right to even think of murdering an innocent child. Just because a fetus may not have a complete eye or leg formed doesn't mean he or she isn't a human. Many people who are against death penalty are in favour of abortion. Abortion is one of the worst types of murder because it is the killing of a person who has not committed any sin. Those who practice abortion should receive the same penalty that they give the baby. A psychologist agrees that about 10% of the 1.6 million women who have had abortion experience severe emotional trauma. Some of the physical damage can result from an abortion- damaged cervix, perforated...

...“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” –Martin Luther King Jr. Planned Parenthood is losing federal funding because of cases dealing with legal safety standards, fraud, and the illegal selling of infant body parts. Planned Parenthood in Texas has opted the easy way out, by simply closing down. It seems that closing down is much more convenient for this organization that is just so committed to “women’s health”. So committed in fact, that they allowed something as simple as their sterilization issues to shut them down. Instead of mitigating the problem by focusing their energy on cleaning the facility up and righting their wrongs, they abandoned the women in which they claim to care so much about. As a facility in which women...

...Giving your child false information is not smart! Talking to your children at an early age and answering any questions they have directly and honestly can be a step closer towards preventing teenage pregnancy.

Teens between the puberty ages of 12 to 15 years old are exposed to the subject of sex. Because both boys and girls are curious about the changes in their bodies, they act in unprotected sexual ways, primarily due to lack of knowledge. Teenagers want to talk to their parents about sex, but finding the right time is never easy; resulting in the risk of unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases (What are the Causes of Teenage Pregnancy) Some parents feel their children are too young to learn about sex; they feel the sex education classes at...

As we can see 3 out of the 4 countries are having difficulty at achieving goal 4, (combating HIV/ AIDS, malaria and other diseases). All are either not likely, no data issued or maybe likely to achieve it as only Brazil has accomplished it. This may be because of cultural taboos of not wanting to discuss and solve these diseases, however with enough aid and money invested should’ve been gradually achievable. With exception of India, all countries are making good progress or have achieved goal 2 (achieve universal primary education), even Bangladesh who are not getting anywhere fast with the goals.

...Medias Influence On Teen Pregnancy Tina Marie Bergelt Media Ethics November 2014 Teen pregnancy is described as a girl between the ages 13-19 who becomes pregnant. This phenomenon has been around historically and still continues today. Teenagers are very unaware of the consequences of unprotected sex and can result in having a child in their teenage years. Many teenagers watch television daily. Television has evolved from the past decade from reporting news to reality TV. Many television shows in the 21st century are now engrossed in teenage pregnancy. Many different actresses play the role of a pregnant teenage girl or the actress is actually pregnant in real life, this causes teenage girls to idolize them and when watching their idol it inspires one to be like them. Television is a very powerful tool and can significantly impact the actions of its viewers. With the amount of teenagers watching television today, movies and television shows that partake in having teenage pregnancy in their programs influence actual pregnancy within the teenage girls that are watching the shows. Historically, in the 1950’s, people got married before they were 20 and being pregnant while you were a teenager was the norm. This was because women were less likely to gain an education passed elementary school so they got married and started their families in their mid-teens (Daphne Matthews, 2011). During the 1950’s, television was introduced; however in its infancy, it was only used to pass...

Trigger warning advocates a voice of students that can’t speak for themselves, about their fears, and what affects topics affects them in a classroom setting. Trigger warning and content notes are two different things that we need to understand. Trigger warnings is a clear and specific way of alerting students of certain information that would be discussed in class, example panic attacks due to strong material related to race, abortion or, war related material with high graphical content that could cause a student with PTSD could have flash backs. On like Content Notes, is different, it is a theoretical value to a neutral meaning that allows people to make a decision whether they want to engage in a material or not. But content notes doesn’t really serve the purpose as trigger warnings, although it could be associated, but in rare cases it talks about trauma content, or larger societal issues that provokes individual harm.

...Human Sex Trafficking Human sex trafficking is an illegal form of modern day slavery that has turned into a lucrative business. Sex is very big business and there is a tremendous amount of money that can be made. There are people that will use any means necessary to be a part of this industry. Young women and children are used as a commodity, offered a better life and then sold like property to increase the wallets of these criminals. I am against this kind of inhumane treatment and believe that we, as a nation, need to do more to abolish this so called “business” forever. I know that we don’t have laws against human sex trafficking in every state yet, but the ones that we do have are a great start. I believe that with more laws, stronger penalties for breaking those laws, and awareness that this is a very big and rapidly growing problem, it is possible. These girls are not inventory, they are humans. As a nation we need to make this part of our history, what used to be, not what is today. A promise of a better life is one way the victims are captured; they are also obtained through much more sinister ways. They are often sold to the traffickers by their parents, husbands or boyfriends. However, there are some who have been out right kidnapped. These young girls are then forced to become sex slaves for money that they never receive. These victims are subjected to cruel and inhumane treatment. They suffer at the hands of their captors on a daily basis to insure their...

In the article, “6 Battles Feminists Everywhere Are Still Fighting for Women's Rights,” Marcie Bianco states, “Because of the complexity of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade verdict, which federally gives women the right to seek an abortion within their respective state's law about when human life begins, reproductive rights have been continuously chipped away at the state level in recent history,” which supports the idea that women’s reproductive rights are being taken away forcefully and without any thought to effects on women (1).

...IT ALL STARTS WITH DOLLY The most important day in the history of Biological Science was not met with photographers, expensive wines and champagnes. Dolly was born quietly away from the media attention on the 5th of July 1996. Not even the head of the cloning program was there Ian Wilmut (Gardner, 2003) The clone sheep was a huge advancement to modern science, numerous experts noticed the benefits that could arise for humanity. With this finding, the prospect of human cloning was begging to be hypothesized. Several governments were excited to outlaw cloning. An anti-cloning agreement was signed between many European countries, and the then president of the United States Bill Clinton had forced a suspension on the program. Both sides are presenting two different sort of ethical arguments. On one side antagonists of human cloning see cloning as a violation of essential and basic ethical and human rights. Where on the other side, supporters of cloning say that banning cloning would violate the same rights. Yet they equally mention the probable ills and benefits of such a practice, to individuals and the world. Even as ethical and even human rights do not have to be obsolete, some people ask others to respect their opinions and religious believes when it comes to cloning. Taking no consideration about the expenses of doing such a thing, will place ethical limitations on acceptable events that plea to a simple balance of benefits over ills. For instance, the rights of human...
