Without a doubt sex education has been a controversial topic in the United States. Our elected officials used to continuously debate comprehensive versus abstinence-only sex education for students K-12. Until very recent sex education was lumped in with abortion, and was a supporting argument for most Republican and Democratic to display their values before elections. However, during President Obama’s first term, he and his administration eliminated all federally funded abstinence-only sex education

For a family having a baby is a very happy time in their lives and many would agree. Worldwide 361,481 babies are born each day. Out of all of these babies born 21 percent of them are aborted. According to dictionary.com abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.

Women’s health provides a great platform to learn about a wide variety of topics: history, psychology, politics, media, religion, etc. They are all applicable areas of study, when examining the health of a woman, and women’s health enables us to study them with a feministic perspective. Over the course of the semester I would like to learn more about gender inequality, including a more in depth look at the reasoning behind the wage gap between men and women, why rape culture has become as glorified

Singer suggests that in feeling pain, a human is cognitive and able to respond to this pain. Should a human fetus become able to sense pain, it is then a creature that should not, according to Singer, morally be subjected to mistreatment, physical or otherwise, by others of it's species. As such, it's easy to argue that abortions past that point should not be allowed to take place, as the fetus is now conscious of the fact that it is being hurt. However, in some other cases, such as the example that

Are you pro-life or pro-choice? Not a commonly brought up topic in daily conversations, even though it has been going on for centuries. Yes, centuries. A person would think that by now this debate would be over, based on that almost everyone has the choice or right to do as they desire. Will this debate ever stop? Probably not, but could there be a possible common ground? Maybe. Even though I am not the one to suggest this solution, but I plan to discuss my belief, pro-choice, and its strengths and

Abortion is a highly debated topic. However, there are many aspects to this practice. Pro-Choice versus Pro-Life is one of the most debated topics, and the parental consent laws placed upon this practice sparks a controversy. Minors, under the age of eighteen, are required to notify a parent or legal guardian of their decision forty-eight hours prior. This is interesting because abortion is legal and a minor is not allowed to proceed without the consent of a parent or going through a judge.

The concept of ‘cut-offs’ almost exclusively been dealt with as a form of repair (Jaspersen 1998, Schegloff 1977) where we find ‘a compression or foreshortening of words (or syllables) in ongoing talk’ in order to attend to a trouble source (Local &; Walker. 2004. 1394). What the literature lacks, however, is an observation of such forms that do not attempt to’ repair’ any notion of linguistic trouble. Such instances of these ‘cut-offs’ are evident in the language, and also appear to share common

the question of whether it should be legal to have an abortion thus elevating the subject to a higher level. Some people no longer look at abortion as a question of choice but as a question of morality, and these perceptions have led to a full-blown debate over something that should not be questioned. A single pregnant woman brought a class action suit that challenged the Texas law that prohibited abortions except when medically advised with the purpose of saving the mother’s life. Roe was the single
