An example of a powerful group that supports abortion is the National Organization of Women. They do not see a fetus as a life and do not define it as such. Conservatives have many supporters that respect life and believe that it begins at conception. Many religious organizations support those that are pro-life. Pro-life supporters often come to this conclusion because of their moral convictions. They cannot justify taking a life and many believe that life begins at conception. Many would only believe that abortion is acceptable only if the mother's life is in danger or in severe cases of rape.
The issue of choice could be radically changed if McCain wins the presidency and is successful in overturning Roe v. Wade. Both sides of the political fence can look into the future and see something very good happening or something very bad happening. This is why the presidential candidate is so important - this choice effects more than who is going to Washington in January. This choice also effects whom that president appoints to certain positions while he is in office, namely Supreme Court justices. Sarah Palin supports reversing Roe v. Wade and has no qualms about returning the issue to individual states. In her recent interview with Charlie Gibson, she said, "I am pro-life. I do respect other people's opinion on this also and I think that a with one another and both sides claim they are right. Since we do live in a country that allows us to make up our own minds, we find ourselves bitterly divided on this issue and this is why voters pay attention to politicians and their beliefs. It might seem far-fetched to think that a law can be overturned but this is how such things occur and this is why the issue becomes an even bigger issue in election years. The proposed issue by McCain would radically change if he has his way, appoints conservatives judges, and overturns Roe v. Wade. Some would see it as a step backwards while others would see it as a step in the right direction.

He still occasionally 'bums smokes' and chews nicotine gum to combat cravings (Altman, 2008, p 3). Obama's campaign released records suggesting that he is in excellent health -- only one page long. The only specific data they have revealed is his low cholesterol rating. The question arises -- if Obama is in such good health (and he does work out very frequently) why the reticence about the information (Altman,
7. Wells on Indian Reservations Wells to drilling natural gas are often found on Indian reservations as the respective lands are rich in resources. Historically, debates have emerged based on the undervaluation of the gas extracted, which led to the inhabitants of the region being only limitedly remunerated for the usage of the land and the extraction of the natural gas. The matter has been addressed throughout the years (judiciary trials
interventionism from the perspective of realism vs. idealism. Realism is defined in relationship to states' national interests whereas idealism is defined in relation to the UN's Responsibility to Protect doctrine -- a doctrine heavily influenced by Western rhetoric over the past decade. By addressing the question of interventionism from this standpoint, by way of a case study of Libya and Syria, a picture of the realistic implications of "humanitarian
Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois present opposing representations of the diametrically opposed philosophies that came to define African-American culture in the United States during the upheaval of Reconstruction. Washington, in his autobiography Up From Slavery, advocates a sweeping reconciliation between former slaves and their former owners, believing that the most accessible path to securing rights for his people is paved with acquiescence and cooperation, rather than by forcible
VA and Medical Care One key factor to be taken into account, while evaluating the healthcare structure of the United States (U.S.) Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), is the number of veterans actually availing themselves of VA medical services. Over 9.1 million, out of a total of over 21.6 million, U.S. veterans are registered with the VA healthcare system (Coburn, n.d.). Moreover, every enrollee doesn't necessarily receive medical attention. The
