The Right to Marry “In 2011, more than 60 percent [of the population] thought gay marriage would be legalized within s decade” (Issenberg, Sasha). Same-sex couples being denied the right to apply for marriage licenses and get legally married in the state of Kansas is a violation of basic human rights. Everyone, despite age, race, or sexual orientation is offered the same basic right, the right to get married and denying gay couples the right to apply for marriage licenses and legally get married…

must be just and moral. Epictetus is saying the people should change their mindset and outlook on the law, but if they keep changing themselves then the person is being unfair to themselves. King states “Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust” (Letter from Birmingham Jail). That statement alone creates an objection to Epictetus saying that a person should change their outlook on a law. Why should one change who they are to fit the image…

“disregard” for the “Rights of Man”. (Van Kley, D, Baker, K.M, Bell, D.A, Bien, D.D, Birn, R, Kaiser, T.E, Singham,S.M, Wright, J.K, The French Idea of Freedom The Old Regime and the Declaration of Rights 1789. 1994). The Declaration not only highlights the rights of individuals in France, (Johnson,V.R. The French Declaration of the Rights of Manand of Citizens 1789, the Reign of Terror and the Revolutionary Tribunal of Paris. 1990.) it also displays many of the core morals of human nature,…

Independence. These so called “unalienable rights” are essential human rights that should not be denied to anyone, and a government is established to protect those rights. The Declarations of Independence was written in seventeen-seventy six with the trust to the government that they would honor this agreement. It is now the year two thousand fourteen and the government has failed to deliver their mutual agreement with the people. The lack of natural rights has been an ongoing issue since the…

Planned Parenthood is a hot topic right now in the U.S., it is very interesting to me because everyone is asking if it’s a good idea to have Planned Parenthood or not a good idea to have Planned Parenthood, so I wanted to find out more about how Planned Parenthood affects the U.S. Society today and what people think of it. The Planned Parenthood Clinics are able to help a wide range of people like men, women and children. I want to talk about how Planned Parenthood affects you if you are…

If people have the right to live, do we also have the right to die? This question is what brought controversy to the situation concerning mercy killing. Today, mercy killing, properly known as euthanasia, is a term used when terminally ill patients request to be killed by doctors. Some countries contain laws regulating euthanasia, while other countries keep a neutral stance on the issue. However, people against the legalization of mercy killing fear for the possible consequences brought from it.…

difference between the two is that Pro-choice believe that women are entitled to an abortion for whatever the cause may be. Pro-life believe that women should not under any circumstance have an abortion. The pro-life side believe that a fetus is a human being from the time of conception and that abortion is the same thing as murder. (Sks.sirs.com.rccproxy.triadhosting.net). When the topic of rape is involved with abortion the pro-life people thinks that as horrible as rape is the child…

society with the abhorrent inhuman treatment of prisoners and the unreliable rehabilitation programs. The current system is destroying lives and local communities. For a nation that loves freedom, this situation is intolerable and does not cherish the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In fact, the correction system is not correcting at all, nearly half of prisoners released are convicted of another crime and end back in prison within three years of release. In failing to…

Agreeing that women should have the right to choose to have an abortion is agreeing with pro-choice values. An abortion can be either intended or unintended; and, women who choose to have an intended abortion may have one for many reasons. These reasons range from their health to not being able to provide for the child if it were to be born. Abortion should continue to be legal because it provides a safe environment for women in need of certain cares and gives women the right to make significant…

abortion in response to an unintended pregnancy. While abortion is legal, obtaining one has become increasingly more difficult due to the ever-increasing restrictions. The act of denying the option of abortion to a woman is in effect denying her the right to her own body. The state law of Texas requires a woman to visit a clinic twenty-four hours before having the abortion for an ultrasound. In addition to this, many providers of abortion…
