HB2 is a bill that shows what the people in this country have been crying for has not yet happened. Transparency is still something the government refuses to give its citizens, but it is a basic right of the citizens. Over half the people in this state do not know what HB2 is really about. The only thing the Republican party wants us to know is the bathroom ban. This ban has been an embarrassment for North Carolina. But the real embarrassment is politicians not respecting the people they represent and not publicly respecting each other’s positions on complex

    Playboy's Decency Act And Its Effects On Children

    In 1996, Congress passed the Decency Act which prevented groups like Playboy to broadcast their networks during the day and only between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. when children were mainly sleeping. In February of that same year, Playboy filed a suit challenging the constitutionality of their restrictions stating that it was not right to use Section 505 to block the programs throughout the day. Playboy also argued that these restrictions were violating their first amendment…

    Hate Crime Chapter Summary

    So I am really glad that chapter 9 branched out of the states of New York and California. I think it is really interesting that CFV had so much sway for a group of people that were basing their hatred on stereotypes and hearsay. When the Amendment 2 unexpectedly pass, a team of lawyers were ready to fight. Amendment 2 left the gay community in an awkward state. They were already abandoned by the federal government in the ruling of Bowers that said that sodomy laws could be kept intact and overturning Amendment didn't seem that promising.…

    California's Proposition 8: The Civil Rights Movement

    There have been several times within American politics where the rights of groups of people have been fought over. These types of fights have been spread over the course of America’s history the most well known being the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. One of the most recent of these fights was the repeal of California’s Proposition 8, originally titled the “California Marriage Protection Act,” which only affected same-sex couples. Proposition 8 was a proposal for an amendment addition to the California constitution stating “only marriage between a man and a women is valid or recognized in California,” creating controversy between groups.

    Transgender And Gender Nonconforming

    The most severe of these bills is a bill from Florida “that would make it a misdemeanor for anyone to knowingly enter a bathroom that didn’t match the sex on their driver’s license or passport” (Steinmetz). This would affect numerous students and people in general who cannot change their gender on their official documents yet. One could get a misdemeanor just for using a public restroom facility. In addition to the Florida bill, “Republican state lawmakers are backing a bill that would require students in Kentucky to use the facilities that correspond to the sex listed on their birth certificate” and if this passes this means a student could sue for $2,500 if they encounter a student whose biological gender does not correspond with the restroom facility that they are using (Steinmetz). This is yet another bill that could fine a person, specifically students, for going to a restroom when students are the least likely to be able to change their gender on government…

    Planned Parenthood V. Ashcroft

    The restriction that relates most to H.B. 2 states, “all post-first-trimester abortions must be performed in a hospital,” (Epstein and Walker, 2013, p. 420) which the Court deemed was an unnecessary and unconstitutional impediment placed in the way of a woman’s right to choose whether or not to have an abortion (Epstein and Walker, 2013, p. 421). In fact, the Court used Roe as precedent to strike all five of the restrictions from the 1987 ordinance. In Planned Parenthood v. Ashcroft, the Court struck down part of a Missouri statute, that required abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy to be done in a hospital, for the same reasons they struck down the ordinance in Akron (Justia, 2015). In Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, Planned Parenthood challenged the constitutionality of a Pennsylvania law, which put many restrictions on women seeking an abortion. Using stare decisis, the Court ruled that the Pennsylvania law was unconstitutional and struck it down.…

    Sexuality In 1984

To summarize, sexuality’s importance to the narrative of 1984 concentrates on the dynamic thematic representations throughout the novel. This essay will highlight several examples of sexuality and sexual expression within 1984 and how sexuality is an act of freedom against oppression. Winston’s sexual past Winston acts as a window for Orwell to emphasize the importances of the state’s control over sexuality.…
