I am assuming this is a sarcastic conservative trying to demonize other political and ethnic groups, but either way, Native American languages should not be required. People should be encouraged to learn other languages, but to require every single person to learn a dying language is not the best use for our education budget. Also, enforcing this as a law would be a very bad idea, and I'm not going to even touch your ridiculous description for this debate.
Death sentences should be delayed: forever. If a person is arrested, tried, and found guilty, they no longer pose a threat to society, and there is no reason for them to be killed. The right to live is a basic human right, which should not be taken away by anybody else, let alone an imperfect government.
Despite the fact that fetuses in the womb are not technically alive yet, aborting them would deprive them from any chance at life at all. In this regard, aborting a baby in the womb is just as bad as killing a baby outside the womb. Sure, neither have developed the cognitive skill to care, and neither have made an impact on the world, but if they live, they will eventually. This is a little personal, but my brother was an unexpected pregnancy, and my parents had been tempted to abort him, but they didn't, and now he is a doctor, a husband, a father, and an all-around good guy, who I couldn't imagine living without. Sure, if he never existed, I wouldn't know with life WITH him would be like, and neither would he, but that is no excuse to prevent a soon-to-be person from living a life. Despite these statements, I do concede that if a woman's life is in danger, abortion may be necessary. However, I am a self-identified liberal, and I believe that health care should be provided for the woman to try to prevent this scenario. I also think a woman with an unwanted pregnancy (say from rape) should be taken care of by the state to make the 9 month experience as painless and inexpensive as possible, and that newborn babies should also be treated with the up-most care in adoption agencies, where most unwanted pregnancies would probably go. I understand that a world with these benefits does not exist, and making abortion illegal without them could have problems, but even so, an imperfect existence is better than no existence, and most people saved from abortion would probably agree.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
