Along with the privilege of being mother to humanity comes a burden that is often times overwhelming. Women are a special class of citizens that require special considerations that are often ignored by weak chauvinistic men or taken for granted by others. Along with that privilege comes the responsibility to protect the lives that have been created inside them. Women today have so many options in dealing with an unwanted pregnancy that killing a fetus is unnecessary, morally wrong and endangers the mother. I believe that women should be made whole if an unwanted pregnancy is a cause of financial loss, but I also believe that a woman that has an abortion should be prosecuted for murder just as a man would be if he was the cause of the death of the fetus.

The "N" word
Jonymor • a second agoRemove
That's Ciara"s take on the "N" word. For me, it's twice as offensive when a black person uses it towards another black person 'regardless of whether that person is an entertainer, or a "rapper." Other races have a legitimate excuse even though the excuse is unacceptable, they are prejudiced against black people. Black people's only excuse for using the "N" word is that they are ignorant. Besides being just plain ignorant, they are ignorant of our history and life as it is today. When they can not relate the "N" word to the young man that was tied behind a pickup truck and dragged until his body was dismembered, Emmett Till, and even Trayvon Martin to name just a few stand out cases, then they are not only ignorant, they have their heads in the sand. Entertainers and especially 'rappers' have a duty and a responsibility to black people because they have the ear of both the racist and the victims of racism. Paula Deen is a nobody, I would not legitimize her use of the "N" word with a comment.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
Jonymor • a second agoRemove
Democracy supported by "big government" sustains a higher level of employment, our quality of life and maintains the freedoms that we enjoy. Democracy with "smaller government" leads to higher unemployment and a decline in quality of life, chaos, and possibly civil war. The proportionate growth of our government has allowed us to prosper and remain free, so to all those proponents of "smaller government," YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
