Another extremely disputable Pro-Life argument is that a fetus should have rights under the law.

Where race is the colour of your skin and not your entitlement to privilege and rights. It can clearly be seen the effect that migrant labour has had on both the African family and the African child.

- 748: Homosexual Marriage
- Homosexual Marriage In this age of liberation and relative morality it is no surprise that homosexuals have tried very hard to gain ground in the way of civil rights. Homosexuals say they want equal rights, and they want homosexual-marriages to be legalized. However, what they are asking for is not reasonable.

A hard worker, he impressed colleagues with his attention to the details of legislation and his willingness to compromise. In the late 1950s ... tool of wealthy Southwestern gas and oil interests. Either to soften this image as a conservative or in response to inner conviction, Johnson moved slightly to the left on some domestic issues, especially on civil rights laws, which he supported in 1957 and 1960.
