- 133: Female Adaptation To Male Domi
- ... regime. So I ask the question, what are the political and cultural factors that plague the female social status at the other end of the spectrum as well?

But most of those states don't ... enforce those laws. In the states that do there is more than likely a neighboring state with no restrictions at all. In my opinion the issue is not whetheer or not teens can have an abortion, because that is already established, but whether or not parents should have to give consent, or be notified, or neither. The arguments for and against this issue aare strong and depend mostly on the morals of those making the argument. To some teens it would be impossible to tell their parents they were pregnant let alone that they want an abortion. On the other hand teens sometimes act on imulse rather than giving such an emotional issue a lot of thought. If the parent were forced to give consent it would assure thet the decision ...

For example some favor prenatal euthanasia, due to the fact that some parents and doctors believe that recognized disabilities of the fetus based on genetic tests is a justifiable reason to commit euthanasia or abortion to end suffering. But a Down syndrome child can still find a loving home and can still live a productive life, even if some may view it negatively based on prejudices against those with disabilities ... also view it as a transition, not a termination. Religious belief reduces the fear of dying, and survey data indicates that the more religious a person is the less likely they are to favor suicide, abortion, or euthanasia. Yeuh-Ting Lee et al. (1996) hypothesized based on cross cultural studies of euthanasia and abortion that attitudes toward euthanasia and abortion were the effect of culture ( America and China) and type ...
- 136: Abortion
- Abortion As a father of a 15-year-old girl I strongly believe that abortions should be made legal. Which in turn will deter backyard abortions like the one my daughter was forced to go through ... for me to cope with it. Now, how do you suppose a girl of 15 years of age would cope with a baby, without my head start? So you should intelligently see that having an abortion was in the best interest of everyone. It would have eliminated all the problems that would’ve arrived if the baby were to have been born. Abortions are illegal which is why, she was forced to have a backyard abortion to prevent future problems, for her and the baby. Sadly, because it was not done in a proper hospital, she died.
