Roe vs. Wade Must End

The biggest crisis going on in our country today is not the war we’re fighting in Iraq or the deeply established racism; it’s the crimes we’re allowing to be committed against our own flesh and blood, legalized abortion. There were approximately 1.37 million abortions in 1996 alone. Simple put, it’s way past time for the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision to be overturned. Not only is legalized abortion an invasion of the unborn babies’ right to life, but it’s an invasion against the innocent, those who clearly can’t stand up for themselves.

Even though I don’t think I will ever be able to truly understand the position mothers whom choose abortion are put in, I believe that legalized abortion must stop. I agree with the new South Dakota proposed ban which exempts rape, incest, and the health of the mother. These are all reasonable, moral predicaments which the right of privacy of the mother should be protected. Not like the excessive amount of abortions that are nonchalantly being performed today despite the clear invasion of the right to life of the baby.

In today’s society there are abundant methods of birth control that sexually active women have the choice to use. I believe that it’s more than irresponsible for them pass up these options if they are not ready to have a child. Abortion has to stop being used as a means of birth control. This is because it is simply not. It is the killing of a child, unborn or not, which does not constitute as the typical meaning of birth control, but more like life control. Individuals with the help of the current law have to be held accountable for the outright slaughter of their own young.

Is Obama Truly the Best?

I agree the Barack Obama is a great guy. He is the best friend everyone dreams of. He represents a new age of America where everyone works together to make crucial changes. However, I am also unsure of whether Barack Obama is fit to be the president of the United States. A job that takes more than charisma and character, but the skills to be in charge of the entire government system affecting, in return affecting every single citizen in the country. The presidential race is not a popularity contest, wherein Mr. Obama would trump over all his running mates, but a decision that will affect generations to come.

As for that he has great policy that is strictly on opinion basis. The Iraq War seems to have been extremely “mishandled” as some have put it, but to take the troops home immediately seems like a premature idea. Everyone wants what best for our troops, but could pulling them out right away eventually result in loosing all that they have spent many years working on? Again, this goes back to the point of Obama’s experience. Even though the idea of pulling out the troops seems great in theory, is it really going to be best for America in the end?
