Dear CNN,

I feel like abortion has been a rising issue in America throughout the years. This is not between a mother and her doctor anymore, but between the whole nation and religions. I realize that with each abortion a life is lost, but I don't think the pro-life activists realize what would happen if we had born all those babies.

The country needs to realize that it is not stable enough to feed, clothe, or give healthcare to all those babies. If we would bore all the children we must realize how many of those children would be mentally retarded, inbred, and orphaned. I 100% agree that if you are not mature enough to take care of a baby, then you should not be having sex, but imagine those children's lives.

Mothers would be in poverty with a family of grumbling tummies. We cannot expect a handout from each person with a pocket of cash. Some mothers believe they are doing the right thing by protecting their child from an awful life. In rape cases, do you feel that a wife should be forced to raise and birth a child and man should be forced to raise another mans baby? As a decent person, he probably would not object, but inside that must kill him.

If a child is ten years old and raped by her father, should she be forced to have a baby as a baby that could in the end kill her? Should she be forced to give up her life for something that was not in her control? Pro-life activists should recognize that each life is important that means even the ones that are born and have mental issues when the mother knew that the child would suffer its whole life with spina bifida.

Many children are born with diseases every day, but what if you had AIDS? Would you still have a child and force it to be scorned and ridiculed its whole life for your own mistake or problem? No. I believe its selfish to force a child to live out its life with a crackhead mother, or on the street begging for food, or in an orphanage waiting to have a better life, because his mother chose "life". What kind of "life" does the kid really have? I'd like to see someone tell me that they would rather be alive with a hindering disease that slowly eats at them, than be laid to rest peacefully.

United Nations Essay

 During the ratification of the constitution, the power was split between state and central government avoiding conflict in the states. Many memorable people helped develop the bill of rights in order to lay out our God given rights in the constitution that many people were concerened about. This caused many states to vote for the new constitution.

America is the only country that I know of that follows the constitution in their government and respects it (mostly). We give each citizen the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We give each citizen fair trials and the right to an attorney if you cannot afford one. We are very humane to our citizens and we have more rights than most countries especially women!

Middle East countries have restricted many rights of their citizens by oppressing women and the lower community members. The men and higher "class" citizens get treated like royalty and have much control over the government. Polygamy is legal which is wrong and immoral, but their religion allows it. The federalist explains these rights to us as in the constitution to a happy life.

"If all men were angels, government would not be necessary." This is a very important quote, because its completely true. If all society lived with morals and respect for human life and well-being, a government would not be necessary, because our actions would be from the good of our heart. But because we are not all innocent, all are restricted to laws and limits.

I think schools need to focus more on the organic quality and nutrition in the foods rather than calories. They're completely right about feeding growing kids

I think obesity is a huge issue especially in young adults, but our schools should allow us small amounts of sugar and sweets, because if our body does not get that craving we automatically indulge when we get home. They leave us unsatisfied and our tummys grumbling after lunch; soemtimes we would like a little treat.

Although, I do not feel it is the schools job to distribute those products to the students, I feel like it can be very helpful to prevent students dropping out from preventative pregnancies. Things like that should be taught in the home. People need to learn their place as parents, and take control. My goodness, if you're dumb enough to have sex without any contraception or form of transportation to get to the clinic then you shouldn't be risking reproducing. -__- people get dumber and dumber each generation.

Romney was ignorant in saying that 47% of Americans are lazy and muchers, but I'm tired of hearing it. Seriously, Romney is a dirtball, and Obama is a good hearted idiot. The article just restates everything I've heard in the past 4 days.
