Is Obama impeachment worthy?
Is Obama impeachment worthy? I think that may be a little harsh. The facts are there that Obama has NOT been the best president we have ever had, that is certain. He should not have been elected a second term in the first place, but the people spoke! But, to say that Obama needs to be impeached for "America to stay Alive" is a pretty blunt statement. It is a little strong to say that one man can tear America apart in just 5 years. I do agree that he needs to be out of office but impeachment requires a crime, which he has not done.

Abortion: There is always another option.
The topic of
abortion has been such a gray area in National Government for quite some time. The
first major debate for legalizing abortion started in the early 1970’s, in the
case of Roe v. Wade. Before that
abortion was banned and considered murder, the only time that it was allowed
before the 70’s was when the reason for pregnancy was rape. Abortion has never
stopped being a subject in National Government, every argument from should
states have the right to ban abortion or is it legal to consume an abortion
pill? My argument today is that National Government should put a complete ban on
abortion nationwide.
Why did the
subject of legalizing abortion even become an argument? There is study after study that proves right
after conception the fetus has become a human being. We have made this argument
about so many other things such as women’s rights and rape victims, which I am
not dismissing, but when we look at the bottom line of the subject matter
murder is murder. I read this quote in an article by TFP student action and
could not have said it better myself, “To declare a beginning of life at any point after the fusing of a woman’s
egg and a man’s contribution is irrational and an exercise in sophistical
chicanery. Only machines such as clocks and cars come into existence part by
part. Living beings come into existence all at once and gradually unfold their
world of innate potential.”
In the last
40 years 54 million unborn children have been aborted or for lack of a better
word killed, in the US alone. Not
only do we need to look at the disheartening statistics of the number of
abortions, but we also have to look at the aftermath and the statistics of
depression and physiological harm women have after having an abortion. Studies
show that 80% of women will experience at least some phase of self-loathing,
such as drug and alcohol abuse and contemplation of suicide after the procedure.
It does not just end at abortion the side effects abortion has on the women
afterwards follow some women the rest of their lives. In a survey the LA Times
reported that 56% of women had guilt and regret after having an abortion.
There are many
experiences that I have seen and walked through personally that has lead me to
have such a black and white outlook on this topic while also understanding that
everyone makes mistakes and we all make decisions out of fear. But when we look
at the bigger picture abortion is willingly killing a human being, how can we
get passed that fact? I know that there
are many circumstances that life brings our way that would make it extremely
difficult to bring a child into this world, but there are also many other
solutions other than death.
