Final Exam: Nebraska New Abortion Law

Abortions is and could be on the highest death rates in America. On a yearly basis there are approximately 42million abortions. On a daily basis it is approximately 115,000 abortions. These are very high numbers. So with the new law been made i feel like that it will be good but it could have its problems also. Truly it is sad by all the abortions that are happening but it is hard to tell a person that they can not have one. I mean it is there body and there life and basically there personal right. Some women may just feel that they can not have a baby and it is there personal business why not. It is there personal right and freedom. But you also have to see why you should not have a problem with the law. What ever it takes to slow down the abortions is worth it because right now the abortion rate is to high. The facts are on the table to clearly see. Take these facts for example 4 out of 10 unintended pregnancies end in abortion, and 24% of pregnancies end in abortion. These are just a couple of the facts about abortion. The United States alone has the highest abortion rate in the world. Most abortions sadly is coming from women under the age of 25. This is were the problem is, these young women who know for a fact they are not ready for a child end up pregnant and are left with no alternative but to go to the doctor and have an abortion. That's when you really look at the situation and see is this really the absolute right thing to do by passing a law that possibly can prohibit a woman from having an abortion. Take for example an 17 year old girl who gets pregnant, this girl has here whole life a head of her, now you are forcing here to keep her baby which means this girl will probably become a single mother who will struggle for the rest of her life because she had a baby before she was ready. True enough she knows she messed up and it is wrong but can you really tell her no you cant have an abortion. These are the hard facts that need to be face people are going to have sex regardless and unexpected pregnancies are going to happen. The law can be looked at as unfair or it could be looked at as a good thing. The new law has it pros and cons to it and very good logic behind both sides to it. Yes the law can be looked at as unfair and takes a person personal right away from them and it can be looked as a method the stop an act that its killing millions of baby's on a daily basis. Take the cases that have happen before like the Planned Parenthood v. Casey where the state regulations on abortion were challenged and lowered the restrictions on it. Or the Roe v. Wade case where the woman's right to abortion is upheld and limited state and federal restrictions on the law against abortion. As you can see it is very hard to pass a law where you limiting a woman to her rights and free power to have an abortion. The true hard facts is yes abortion's are wrong an need to be slowed down some how and some way. Because the rates are so alarming and high. This is an issue that will be hard to stop because in the end it is a person's right to have an abortion. And it is going to be very hard to find away to do pass a law on this issue in an constitutional way that does not violate a woman's rights in the process of it.

Weapons Seized in Thailand

A North Korean aircraft was stopped at Don Mueang airport on the way to Iran. Where authorities searched and found nuclear weapons. The plane was said to have had 35tones of arms on it http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/13/north-korea-arms-smuggling-plane. Us and UN investigators say it is a global North Korean smuggling network. The men carrying the plane were all taken in and questioned then later released after no evidence was found that they had any part of knowledge of the weapons. Both North Korean and Iran have denied there knowledge of the weapons on the plane to http://www.boston.com/news/world/middleeast/articles/2010/02/02/iran_denies_link_to_weapons_seized_in_thailand/. Both have been stated in saying they have nothing to do with the weapons or have any knowledge of how they got on the plane. Also speculation is that the plane could have been headed to Pakistan or Afghanistan .My problem with this is that I don't have a clue of how a plane leaves a place and without them having knowledge of what is on the plane being that they are a part of the plane crew. It’s suspected that North Korea knew what was on the plane and they were not expecting to get caught. How does Iran not know what is on the aircraft's coming into their area? Is another question that needs to be answered? I believe that North Korean and Iran were working together on a secret operation that happens to get derailed.

The other problem is what was the real need for these weapons. The new articles only stated about how everybody that was involved with the plane denied there knowledge of the weapons. So to me it sounds like a lot of sneaky lying going on underneath about these weapons. Because no plane is just going have 35tones of weapons on it and nobody knows anything about it. Especially after 9-1-1 here there should be better knowledge of nuclear weapons and the carriers of the weapons.

The issue at hand is that for the 5th time this year an aircraft was found with nuclear weapons on it. This is an issue that affects the world. How can anybody live and feel safe in their country when there is UN accounted for nuclear weapons being smuggled and shipped around by undefined people. Yes the weapons were seized and found as stated in this article but the article leaves with a bigger question at hand. The investigators don’t really know who is controlling this weapons and what the use for these weapons are. This story is example of why the issue at hand is much bigger than just weapons being found in Thailand. This affects surrounding areas and everywhere because it not clear where the weapons actually came from meaning that could have came from anywhere. Only time will tell what’s really going on with all these nuclear weapons being shipped around. Hopefully investigators continue to work to get to the bottom of this situation before something major happens.

The Color of Money

....In the year of 1981-1986 banks all over Atlanta have been dening Black people approval for loans. "Banks and savings and loans return an estimated 9 cents of each dollar deposited by blacks in home loans to black neighborhoods. They return 15 cents of each dollar deposited by whites in home loans to white neighborhoods." "The offices where Atlanta's largest banking institutions take home loan applications are almost all located in predominantly white areas. Most savings and loans have no offices in black areas." These are just some examples of how banks purposely try to ensure that whites would receive a better chance than blacks when they attempted to take out a loan. Blacks had hard times trying to live better lives for themsleves in Atlanta because they were being denied all over by bank after banks because of the color of there skin, no matter if they had met or exceted the requirements they were still being denied. It was almost like banks were looking at blacks and was like there money wasin't good enough to them.

Review of Time's 1982 Person of the Year

....From then to now computers have hit the world by storm. From the first computers ever made to the new computers still coming out til this day computers have always been a must have. In 1980 some two dozen computer company's sold 724,000 personal computers for $1.8 billion dollars. That was in 1980. Now look at 2010 that number alone has probably doubled if not tripled yet. By 1982 computers were entering job offices, class rooms, and houses all around America. Now look at today's time you can not find a place with out a computer. It was stated perfectly in 1982 " In a larger perspective, the entire world will never be the same". For example the industrialized nations of the West 1982 sales: 435,000 in Japan, 392,000 in Western Europe. As you can see computers were sailing all around the world. This also stated in the article saying "Looking ahead, the computer industry sees pure gold". these are some of the figures from 1982, there are 83 million U.S. homes with TV sets, 54 million white-collar workers, 26 million professionals, 4 million small businesses. It was estimated that for the number of personal computers in use by the end of the century run as high as 80 million. Stated perfectly by a news writer in 1982 "The surface is barely scratched," says Ulric Weil, an analyst for Morgan Stanley. And he was exactly right computers have been on the rise rapidly and coming up with newer and better features than they probably could imagine in 1982. So as the world stands today it is apparent computers are the future and affect basically every way of life that we experience. So if you think computers are good now just wait til later on they can only get better and will get better.
