Class Links
With the issue of church and state still going on, there have also been other debates within this larger one dealing with abortion, gay marriage, and aspects of stem-cell research. A fellow blogger of mine has a blog dealing with abortion which is located here. I think that this is a good blog to look at because it raises the many aspects of why some people are for and against abortion. Also, many people are against it for religious reasons and this goes along with the fact they are trying to pass laws making abortion illegal but many believe that this would be a violation of our rights. Another blog is the gay marriage blog which talks about the legalization of it. Like abortion, this is highly debated because if they make it illegal, then they would implementing this law because of religious reasons, not political ones. The final blog is stem-cell research which is also controversial because it has aspects of it that may not be moral to many people that have strong religious beliefs. All of these blogs are highly debated because they raise questions about our government and religion.

I think that if you take a closer look at these issues, you would find a true contradiction. You are correct in citing these issues except abortion because it is still legal. Though it is a public issue, I don't think that it will be possible to be made illegal because it would be an intrusion on citizen's rights. Do you think that our government has that much power? Do you think that our rights could be foregone in the case of abortion?
thank you anne for your comment. Honestly, I don't think that the government has the right to pass laws that violate people's rights as citizens because it is contradictory. It is always going to be a dispute over this issue because of it's sub-topics within it.
