I agree with you about the holes in the system. I feel like there should be a way to use due process in order to restrict guns from people who may not have the sense to use them in the right way.

Owning a gun is a constitutional right as stated by the second amendment. Should everyone be granted this right though? In the United States, there are about 38,000 gun deaths recorded per year. Granted, the Constitution does give people the right to own guns but I think there should be other requirements to have them. For instance, if you are buying a gun to use as a weapon to hurt other people then you might have a mental disorder. According to the treatment advocacy center, about 35% of all murderers have some type of mental disorder. This may be a somewhat small percentage compared to the whole but it would still have a major impact if these people were not able to get their hands on these deadly weapons. I think people should have to take mental health tests and pass before given the right to own a gun. According to the second amendment it states that the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed, but what if its for the best of all the people. According to the fourteenth amendment, if a person not capable of being able to own a gun safely were to go through due process then no constitutional right would be violated. Obviously, a mental health test cannot stop everyone but it would be a start to trying to stop so much bad.

I agree that religion should not be a factor in this. Women doing what is healthy for their bodies and lives is what is important and I feel like God would not hold that against any good person.

Yes I did not do my research before I said this and I should have.

I like how you included that men in society have one of the biggest voices about this issue. Not only do they not go through pregnancy, but also cannot justify the idea of having a child and knowing you cannot support it. Abortion should not be looked upon as murdering a child because 9/10 abortions are done within the first 12 weeks which is before a baby becomes viable. The pain a woman has to endure to even get an abortion is already so straining and no one should be able to tear her down for it.

I am pro choice because I feel like women should be able to decide what happens to their bodies. Abortion should be a choice women get to make when they cannot financially support a baby, their health is not where it should be, or if they were sexually assualted. Some people might say you could put your baby up for adoption or to foster care. Who would want to go through pregnancy and give up their child to a random family that may not support their baby properly? If a girl is raped should she be forced to keep her rapist's kid? Society should not get to say what is right and what is wrong when it comes to our bodies. I do not see the harm in abortion when you catch it early and get one in the first trimester. I understand that if you are in the the third trimester of pregnancy and your baby is close to being fully grown that it is not okay. In any other situation, I support abortion fully. Also, I am a seventeen year old girl and I know if I became pregnant right now it would ruin my future of trying to get a degree or even going to college. As a matter of fact, age is a huge factor in abortions. A study in 2014 states that 60% of women that got abortions were in their early 20’s according to the Guttmacher Institute. It’s hard for young women to be able to support another life when they are figuring out how to start theirs. All in all, I feel that their are many circumstances that women should be able to choose abortion if it is the best option for their life.

I completely agree with this because I have gotten food poisoning from McDonald's and would still rather jump in their dumpster.

Although Taco bell has better food than McDonald's, I think swimming in a McDonald's dumpster would be cleaner. I feel this way because Taco Bell has Mexican food which contains beans and hot sauce. This would be disgusting to swim through compared to McDonald's' burgers and fries. Although I would pick Taco Bell over McDonald's any day of the week, I would much rather be surrounded by burgers than beans.
