Edward II in 1377, and Charles V in 1380 (133). The French started preparations for an invasion of England in 1386, but stopped when the the English won in the battle of Margate in 1387 (133). Another truce took…

Reproductive rights in the United States has served as a provocative issue for several years. Roe versus Wade, however, acted as a pivotal event in the reproductive rights movement. The 1973 Roe versus Wade Supreme Court decision legalised abortion until the point of viability – at which a baby can survive outside the womb – by a vote of seven to two (NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin). Consequently, over the past forty-four years, pro-life activists have attempted to repeal the Supreme Court’s…

Self-destruction or Abortion? There are many things in this world that people have different views on, but this topic, is a very controversial one that causes a lot of dispute. If a person is a victim of rape, then they should have the right to have an abortion be one of their options. This should be acceptable because most likely, the victim will have PTSD and having a product of that situation around will only make it worse. No one would want to have a child that would remind them of that…

The abortion rights for woman based upon the state in which they reside in has always been an interesting topic. There are certain laws in which allows or prohibits a woman from having an abortion based upon the number of weeks within the pregnancy. This writer believes that every woman deserves the right to choose and make decision concerning their health. Especially in the cases of unforeseen or unplanned pregnancy because of being raped and in worst case scenarios when their health is a risk.…

Mr. Donahue, Amongst the many remarkable figures in history, Joan of Arc is one of the most incredible. A simple maid, born in the farmlands of France during the Hundred Years war. Who was called, by God, to bring peace and unity her broken nation at a very young age. Joan then endured persecution and imprisonment from the enemy, always acting on God’s will and not her own. As Joan herself put it, “What I do, I do by commandment.” A very pious girl, Joan started hearing the voices of Saints and…

Abortion. It’s a topic most people have strong opinions about and, despite being legal in this country, it remains both controversial and stigmatising. But why does abortion evoke such strong reactions in us? It is legal, safe, and sometimes even a lifesaving medical procedure. Wouldn’t it be sensible simply to let those who need abortions have them, and focus on our own problems instead? After all, the fact that abortion is legal puts you under no obligation to have one yourself. Unfortunately,…

After reading the literature surrounding the Muskoka Initiative my research wants to address a gap in the knowledge, specifically regarding the rise of the Conservative Christian Right’s influence in Canadian domestic policy and how that effects the lack of funding for abortion in foreign aid policies. Currently, a lot of research is being done on the rise of Christian Conservatism in the United States and the anti-gay laws that are on the rise in African countries. I want to examine, in the…

As Winston Churchill said, “Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.” Things that occupy your mind settle in your heart. People standing up for what they believe is right and true help make change in the world. It is important to stand up for what you believe in to help make change. For example, my family and I believe that abortions should be illegal because it goes against our religion. We believe that abortions offend God because he creates everyone for a…

The separation of the state and the church has been a long time issue in America and this was clearly seen in the first amendment to the constitution. Several issues in the history of America have strong moral or religious dimensions such that it becomes very difficult to come to a common ground on them: some people go with it while others never will. In the ruling of our country (politics), issues like this are at the forefront of debate and argument. Abortion and reproductive rights is one of…

The Heroine of Medieval France How strong is your desire for wealth and power? If you ask the monarchs back in the medieval years, they would have probably told you “So strong it causes a war between nations”. History has proven their bid for power and wealth. In a specific case, the Hundred Years War was a battle of ownership for the French throne between the English and the French. But the more specific reasons were the ambition of French monarchy to expand their land, which contradicts…
