Abortion Is Wrong!!!

Abortion is a sensitive topic in America.  There is a division between people who are for it and against it, and each side has their argument why they believe the way they do.  I agree with this editor for the article that abortion is wrong in many ways, but I respectfully disagree with many of his reasoning to get rid of abortions.  In politics you cannot solely base your decision on the mean of religion.   If that were the case then so many laws that the United States has would be wrong.  Also this country is built on and people of many cultures and religions so saying that the Bible or Ten Commandments forbids getting a abortion would be forcing others to meet your views and follow your religion when the rights of all Americans is freedom of religion.   On the part that the author talks about the moment a sperm and egg join a life has started is false in scientific terms.  Something cannot be living unless there is brain activity.  The government has also stated that adults that have no more brain activity while being hospitalized due to medical reasons are said to be deceased.  So if this were true to adults we can say the same for a embryo that has not yet hit its fourth week since that is when actual brain activity starts.  So in my thinking abortion should be allowed if it were to be before the fourth week of pregnancy, and that should give time for a decision to be made if abortion should be taken or not.  Also I feel that we should not punish a person to take on the responsibility of being a parent if some case of rape happens.  In this case the person should be allowed to get an abortion so they will not be punished with a burden for crimes they did not commit.  

Obama to Address Muslim Relations in Egypt Speech!

          September 11, 2001, the day known to all American as 9/11 was the day that Al-Qaeda put a plane through the twin towers.  As a result to this tragic event the Bush Administration went into Afghanistan to bring down this terrorist organization and leading up to the self proclaimed War on Terror.  This was one of the many leading factor that brought about bad relations between the America and the Muslim Community.  Just as the Twin Towers had collapsed on the day of 9/11, the relations have crumbled with the Muslim Community.  After all the warfare that has been going on, I believe that the American government needs to work to reevaluate this relationship and fix it so that we can once again work peacefully with the Middle East nations. 

          White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced Friday that President Obama will deliver a Speech on June 4.  This speech will be given in Egypt, and will state America’s relationship with the Muslim World.  Egypt is "a country that in many ways represents the heart of the Arab world," Gibbs said.  The speech was originally supposed to be recited in Turkey which is more of a secular state with the President telling Turkish legislature the "United States is not and will never be at war with Islam."

          I believe that the change to Egypt was a good decision since it is a country where the Muslim people rule and is a good representation.  This will allow that the President to show by his action of coming to Egypt that America wants to work hand in hand to fix this hostile relation.  This will also give a chance for the President to talk to the Egyptian president to making his nation more democratic. 

          I think as the President gives his speech he needs to choose his word carefully so that things do not get worse.  Also when talking about the relationship with the Muslim world if he chooses to talk about Egypt becoming more democratic he needs to make sure that we do not force it on the nation and make it their decision.  This is because we have already tried force else where and that has not worked out at all.  This change in relation for the good will not only having the interest of Americans and its economy, but also having the interest of those nations and the world to better the economy and life of humanity as a whole.
