Civil+Rights


 * Civil Rights **
 * //Gay/lesbian marriage should be legal, along with adoption by same-sex couples. //

One sometimes cannot help being gay/lesbian because it is a natural biological factor. Marriage should be about binding two people together, not about their gender. Gay/lesbian couples could be just as good of a parent, if not better, than straight couples. Being raised by a gay/lesbian couple might make a person different, and might cause bullying, but it also might broaden the child's perspective on civil rights.
 * //Abortion should be illegal in all states. //

If a person is pregnant, whether by choice or not, abortion is out of the question. Abortion is murder, no matter how old the fetus is. If a person cannot support a child, and was unprepared for a kid, there is always putting it up for adoption. No living thing should have to die for a persons irresponsibility. The procedure is not always safe, and can hurt the women mentally, physically and emotionally. No one should have the right to murder the fetus because it is another human being, not a part of the woman's body.
 * //One of the Amendments, freedom of speech, shouldn't be honored. //

If you were able to say anything you want, you could promote racism, ageism etc. Saying whatever you want in a war situation, you could cause the nation to be vulnerable and insecure by inciting an attack. It could expose underage children to inappropriate ideas or material. Some people might share ideas that would make people consider extremism. Talking strongly about offensive views could not only promote violent actions, but sway peoples own opinions to be rude and cruel as well. Words can be very empowering and therefore, should be controlled.
