Late-term abortion

The Marquise of O- by Heinrich von Kleist is a story chock-full of secrets and unsaid ideas, such as the ambiguity of details regarding Giulietta’s possible rape. If you don’t read every word closely, something major will slip your notice. This is exactly what happened to me, specifically when Giulietta is talking to her midwife, who she has called in to hopefully deny her illegitimate pregnancy. The Marquise, who is discussing unwitting conception with the midwife, briefly states that she…

“It is primarily the blameworthiness of parental non-action, however, that justifies recognition of a tort duty to protect minor children” (Johnson & Hargrove, p. 319). “For example, in Laser v. Wilson,28 the high court of Maryland found that the parents of a two year-old child, and not their hosts, who had invited the parents and their child to a family gathering, had the duty to protect the child from the obvious danger of an open stairwell. 29 In a Texas case, a trial court entered a tort…

Legislation reflecting the social climate is enacted whenever people become acutely aware of the lack of cultural homogeneity. People tend to react negatively when they feel normal changing. Native residents share common values and beliefs that create a culture of sameness, however, when refugees come in a culture of difference is created, and this difference threatens their homogeneity. The percentage of refugees that are accepted for the resettlement process is less than 1%. However, refugees…

were not supported. Abortion was the primary form of birth control during the antebellum and Civil War era. Abortions were first thought of as a quick fix. “Every female who undergoes any of the disgusting operation practiced for this purpose, does so at the risk of her life and to the almost certain destruction of her health, if she survives… that there are no safe means for abortion…” (Doc. #8). Abortion was frowned upon during this era and soon led to laws against abortion due to the extreme…

Should Children’s Beauty Pageants Be Banned? Child beauty pageants should be eliminated, Canadians should be against child beauty pageants it sexualizes children by making them look like adults, gives innapropriate attention to children, and the parents are just using their children for money. The first “Little Miss America” pageant started in the 1960s at the Palisades Amusement Park in New Jersey. Originally the pageant was meant for 13 to 17 year olds, but it became so popular, that by 1964…

As “reading” our genomes becomes more available, I think each person should have complete privacy over their genetic information. It’s their personal information, and it’s their right to share it if they’d like, but no one else besides immediate family should have the right to use their genetic information. Immediate family should be allowed rights too, because it could be helpful in making important decisions or in emergencies. Employers and insurers should absolutely not be able to reject…

The articles this week reflects how we are truly surrounded by evil. I read in disbelief as I learned how so many incent people were neglected, tormented, and killed for research. The article about Unit 731 was very disturbing. I was repulsed as I read about the prisoners being placed in chambers to test how much pressure they could handle until there eyes popped out. I don’t understand how anyone could justify this type of cruelty. It was just as heartbreaking to know that those who were…

Atwood shows how a mirror can contort a handmaids’ identity by enforcing how they are supposed to view their bodies. During Offred’s time at the Re-Education Center, the Aunts brainwash the Handmaids to accept the new ways of the Gilead society. It was the Aunts fear that the handmaids would get a hold of the mirror and use the glass as a weapon against the Aunts and/or themselves. Atwood’s a conclusion to have only a few scattered mirrors in the Red Center is to remind the Handmaids that they…

good support to illegalize abortion. The side effects are very painful. Cramping is a side effect, and it feels like a knife being stabbed in the stomach. Cramping after abortion lasts up to six weeks! You are given a medicine called Methergin, and it causes cramping. Abortions can also cause infections. Infections are a very painful process to remove. Most of these infections are removed by either antibiotics or a suction tube. The antibiotics they put you on after abortion are Metronidazole…
