    Being environmentally conscious has been the focus of many people for several years, and by judging how much the media has begun to cover such a topic, it will be the concern of more and more people as time passes.

It doesn’t just affect one person and so it becomes a national, heated issue, and not just any simple issue, but one that is very complex and complicated. In a country that values freedom and choice, do women in the United States really have the right to choose what…

As I transitioned into a public high school and began to learn more I realized that even though I was raised a certain way, I was pro-choice.…
