Abortion: War on the Unborn

submitted by David Malone
discussion area: Civil Rights

RATINGS

Outstanding: 8

Possible: 0

No: 2

Solution:
Abortion is any act or procedure performed with the willful intent to cause the death of an unborn child from conception to birth. As such, abortion is a grave act of injustice toward the child and a clear violation of the child's natural, unalienable right to life and his/her legal right not to be deprived of life without due cause.

Even the silent have a voice

submitted by Denise Carpenter
discussion area: Civil Rights

RATINGS

Outstanding: 1

Possible: 0

No: 2

Solution:
For Teenagers, unexpected pregnancy can be a very scary thing. They fear turning to their parents, so they look to alternative measures on their own, and sadly many opt for abortion due to lack of knowledge for other options. Increased education is the answer.

Many of the youths and young adults are wishing to be in our shoes here in America so that he or she can be the next lawyer, ... more

Religion

submitted by Danica Jones
discussion area: Other

RATINGS

Outstanding: 0

Possible: 4

No: 6

Solution:
My solution to this problem would be for parents to take charge in their young child's life.As a parent you are responsible for your child. Your child should answer to you and not the other way around. As a parent take your child to church and praise with them. Lead by example which means actions and not words. Show them the way. If this whole religion thing is new to you then you and your child, ... more
