When I first heard the song "Dear Mr. President", from Pink, singing about all the catastrophes happened during the time of George W. Bush as President, it touched my heart. Being an international student, that did not know anything about this time period in the U.S., changed my point of view. Pink was able to criticize all the actions the President did, bad actions and good actions. Some people may interpret her song in a different way and believe she attacked the U.S. President as a person, she may also be seen as a disrespectful person that was not be able to keep her opinion to herself. Other may also believe that her choice of words was too strong and inaccurate and may took her idea of the song on a different level. Her song could also …show more content…

Bush wanted to deny a woman the right for abortion because he believes that life begins at conception and therefore abortion would be a murder, a crime (News). ABC News states in his article 'Bush issues Order Blocking Abortion Funds', a statement issued by the White House saying "It is my conviction that taxpayer funds should not be used to pay for abortions or advocate or actively promote abortion, either here or abroad" (News). Making a reference to his religious belief, Bush also states that his administration would try to "build a culture of life, affirming that every person, at every stage and season of life, is created in God's image" (News).
His attitude towards homosexual people and therefore homosexual relationships, violates his standards as Methodist as well. He wanted to create a piece of legislature, which would define marriage and the union between one man and one woman solely, called Marriage Protection Amendment (Campbell). Campbell includes in her article a statement of George W. Bush saying: "I just happen to believe strongly that marriage is between a man and a woman. I don't really think it's any of my concern how you conduct your sex life. That's a private matter. I support equal rights, but not special rights for people."

John Adams was the second President of the United States. In George Washington’s Farewell Address, he stated numerous warnings. I believe that in his presidency, Adams did not heed all of Washington’s warnings. One reason that I believe Adams did not heed the warnings Washington issued is because he was part of a political party.

If one read the Lawrence v. Texas case one will understand that upon further review of the constitution one can see that there is no violation in the constitution that insinuates homosexual sexual activity being against human right. It is only logical that if sexual practices are taking place in the privacy of ones homes regardless of the gender there is no conviction of wrong doing. Equal protection due process protects against discrimination regarding sexuality therefore making it unconstitutional to discriminate anyone based on their sexual orientation. Discrimination of race was overruled unconstitutional due to the famous words of “all mean are created equal… by having life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness” (Andersen, M, E.), with life there is liberty of human rights, and with liberty comes happiness with the acceptance of an individual’s identity as one.

Although marriage and civil unions should be recognized under the Full Faith and Credit Clause it was not because this clause was primarily used for judicial rulings and was not thought to apply to marriages or civil union licenses. This deals with the recognition of same sex marriages in states, it also deals with the relationship between states. At the time some states such as New York recognized same-sex civil marriages but whether these unions were recognized in other states was an entirely different story. This went on for a while until it was determined that DOMA was not only discriminatory but also went against the Full Faith and Credit

Charlotte Taft once said “Women who have abortions do so because they value life and because they take very seriously the responsibilities that come not just with birth, but with nurturing a human being”. The Editorial Board at The New York Times believes in this statement as well. The Editorial Board published an editorial on June 27, 2016 titled “A major Victory for Abortion Rights”. The article published, is about a change in Texas 's anti-abortion law and is intended for woman who can or will bear children. The editorial was created to persuade these women that if another woman who is pregnant and cannot keep the unborn child or does not want to keep the child, that these women should have the right to abort the embryo or fetus legally.

The purpose of the dissent serves in furthering justice is to inform opinions to justify whether each case is constitutional or unconstitutional. For example, in the court case of Mapp v. Ohio, the dissenting opinion of the case is when the Supreme Court justice believes that pictures will be used against Mapp; however, the law enforcement did not refer back to the Constitution. There are cases today where police enforcement violates private affairs and searched without consent. Another important mark in history of important dissents is the court decision between Roe vs. Wade because of the overwhelming controversial issue that remains unsettled about abortion. Roe used the idea of the Fourth Amendment to justify the right to choose to terminate an unwanted or a medically dangerous pregnancy.

For years republicans have been trying to defund Planned Parenthood, and at this moment in history, they are closer towards their goal than ever. With a republican majority senate, and a republican as president, the fight to defund Planned Parenthood only faces minimal resistance. Republicans, more specifically the Trump Administration, like to hide behind their religious beliefs and values when it comes to their ideas regarding Planned Parenthood. They tend to only focus aspects that they disagree with while paying no mind to the good that Planned Parenthood does. These republicans that are working to defund Planned Parenthood and oppose Planned Parenthood so strongly tend to only focus on the belief that defunding Planned Parenthood would

Most songs are designed to entertain, however, they also communicate a certain message that the rhetor(s) intend to share with an audience. Songs can defy societal norms and provide a new perception of a problem in our culture. Dr. Funnell uses Beyoncé’s song, Flawless, as a prime example in her “broad based discussions about the women, the industries, and the messages in popular culture that are being presented to our society and what effects they have”. So when she uses

With almost half the nation divided among their views, abortion remains one of the most controversial topics in our society. Since Roe v. Wade, our views in society as well as following court cases have been progressing toward the woman’s right to choose. The precedent set by Roe v. Wade made the Supreme Court acknowledge that it cannot rule specifically when life begins and it also affirms that it is the woman’s right to have an abortion under the 14th Amendment. In the 1st Amendment, the Establishment Clause forbids the government from passing laws “which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another”. Many Christian pro-lifers use their religious beliefs to dispute when life begins.

Many people question the morality of abortion and several religious aspects come into play about the legalization of abortion. However, the separation of church and state makes any religious aspect invalid when it comes to legalizing anything. Furthermore, Democrats feel that abortion can be justified in cases such as rape or when a woman’s health is endangered and even teen pregnancy, so women should have the right to an abortion. Though deciding to get an abortion can be a very difficult decision, Democrats have agreed that this decision should be between a woman and her doctor without government interference, specifically Republican men who will never be faced with this decision and have no medical experience. This is why Democrats call it “women’s right to choose” and not “Republican’s right to deny” when it comes to abortion since it is about women specifically.

The article stated that raising a child that is unwanted is a death sentence. If a woman is grown enough to make a baby then they should be grown enough to have to take care of it. If the mother is not at an age or maturity leave to be able to care properly for the baby there are many people out there that cannot have children and would like to adopt. The article also states that at the point in time that a women would have an abortion that the embryo is nothing more than a ”mass of relatively undifferentiated cells” and that a baby does not have rights until it is born. From the time a baby is conceived until the time in which the baby is born it is a living human, and has all of the same rights as a human to be able to live a healthy life.
