A man who is single has the right to adopt and the same goes for a single woman. If a married heterosexual couple wanted to adopt, they are more than welcomed to, as long as they are competent of caring for a child. A heterosexual couple is capable of being able to pretty much travel anywhere in the United States to find an adoption agency willing to help them. Sadly, that’s not the case for a couple who are of the same-sex. Due to religious beliefs of certain adopting agencies, a state law not allowing placement with LGBT parents, or a policy of placing children with married couples only, one-third of agencies in the United States can reject a gay or lesbian applicant.

His defense argued that he was not eligible for death row because of his mental state. The court ignored the argument and passed it off, saying that they were using his illness as an excuse to “get out of” maximum punishment. As demonstrated in this case, mental illness is not given the attention it deserves when determining a sentence.

    Abortion is the planned termination of a human pregnancy. Several philosophers and activists have argued over if it is permissible. The author of A Defense of Abortion, Judith Jarvis Thomson, is correct about her argument that abortion is permissible even if the fetus is a person. This is because a woman’s right to bodily autonomy, which, combined with the woman’s own right to life, takes precedent over a fetus’s right to life. Even if people claim that she gave the fetus permission to be there, she should not be forced into going against her right to bodily autonomy.…
