Life or Death, Either Way You Don't Get To Decide

In this blog my focus will be on the issue of rather having an abortion is the right or wrong thing to do and whether it should even be a legal option. In the argument of whether abortion is right or wrong there are two types of people, people who are pro-life and think abortion is strictly wrong, or pro-choice who accept that abortion is a right left up to the specific person and their situation. Although some pro-choice followers believe it should only be used as a last resort. In the court case Roe v. Wade, decided in 1973, approved that abortion was a constitutional right to privacy protected by the constitution. This was a very important case because it legalized abortion. On April 27, 2010, Oklahoma signed a law requiring women to recieve an ultrasound before having an abortion so they could have a detailed decription of the limbs, fetus's heart, and organs. I personally feel that abortion should be a choice but only if it it life threatning. Killing a baby without its consent is just as bad as murdering another human. You have no idea what that baby could do for mankind in the future. Killing a baby is not a choice that should be choosen so loosely and without awareness of what they are actually doing, so I agree with Oklahoma and making women recieve an ultrasound before they abort a baby because maybe then they can rethink their decision and choose a better one. Instead of making abortion a care free decision we should think of alternatives. What else can I do in order to have this baby and let it have a good life. So my question to you is whether you think abortion is a good decision or alternative to not wanting a baby? You can only decide this on your own. In conclusion I feel that taking away a baby's life is also taking away it's decision making process and i'm sure if it had a choice to die, it would not approve of these conditions.



This video shows a pro-life's opinion on abortion and how a simple adoption could save the life of a baby's future children and their whole generation.


This picture represents a woman's choice to either abort her baby or to keep it by representing her body, her mind, so her choice.



This video shows our President Barack Obama displaying his opinions on abortion. He believes that abortion should be a choice but to a certain extent. Like abortion should be only allowed through a certain time but anytime after it should not be allowed. He also believes that we can reduce abortions by providing women with the right type of fincial aids, healthcares, and etc.

Mary Jane

The issue which I will be focusing on today, is the issue with an illegial drug named marijuana, AKA Mary Jane. Marijuana was introduced as a medical stimulant in 1972, since then 14 out of 50 states have accepted its uses. A major court cases which have occured about the issue of marijuana are Conant v. Walters. In this court case California had passes its use on medical marijuana regulations in 1996, but the government threatned any physcian that used it could result in the loss of their license. The court decided that marijuana could be used as a medical treatment for some patients. In 2010, the District of Columbia approved its uses of marijuana under medical circumstances only. These permit cancer, HIV, AIDS, Chronic diseases, and etc. The prime issue with this is whether it can be considered an illegial drug or should be legalized as a medical preference. In its defense mary jane has been known to relax and relieve numerous dieases and disorders such as HIV, glaucoma, nausea, and migrains as well as others. Some physicians also agree that this new "theraputic" sensation can certainly relieve the body and internal systems. But reports show that the growth of smoking mary jane could also increase the percentage of teen and adolescents drug abuse. Also since when has smoking eber been good for the body? Smoking has been shown to increase the chance of cancer. Is that what we want for our kids in the next generation?



This video contains contents on which mothers in California support the legalization of mary jane. I don't agree with the mothers statements, I feel that mothers should embrace whatever is the best choice for their children at hand. Looking back from the information we just learned we discovered that children smoking even marijuana at such a young age can introduce children to more lethal and deadly drugs.




This video agrees with the last as in marijuana should be legalized but also would propose the idea of just like alchol, you would have to be a certain age to purchase it.

Blogging Dangers

Some blogging dangers that students should be aware of when creating a blog are, using information that is not personal. When a person creates a blog they should be sure to not use any personal information such as your real name, address, or any telephone numbers that you can be reached at. If we do these things we can reduce the cause of strangers violating safety issues. Also you must remember that even though you may think that your not affecting anyone by putting there personal information in a blog you must be careful because somebody's feeling may be hurt. This could evolve into what some people call cyberbullying. Making sure that you are not presenting any information that may be used against you as slander or obscenity is something to look out for when creating a profile or posting a risky blog. These are some of the safety points that should be used when creating a blog.
