The proposal I am makiing is the banning of abortion in the United States. Abortion should be made illegal in all of its forms. Abortion is essentially the legalization of the murder of thousands of infants every year. This is a major issue. We are killing off our greatest resource; that is the human life and the human mind. This is affecting everybody in the country. We have most likely aborted the child that would have grown up to cure cancer.
Why are we allowing this? How is murder a right? People have the option of adoption. Even a little bit of responsibility for your actions is in that option. But not murder, because that is exactly what it is. The Roe v.s. Wade decision will be used to help support my proposal.
This issue has existed for decades and is often a topic in political debates. I feel this practice of abortion should be outlawed. That is the only solution. I have yet to collect much research for this paper so I am much lacking in that department. Many people feel it is a right though to have the child they created murdered because they cant handle the consequences of their actions. This just isnt so.

eco lifestyle
After taking the carbon footprint test, my initial score was a 4.6. I rarely drive long distances and never fly. I try to recycle and dispose of my trash properly as well. The main flaw I had that was most devastating to the environment that I live in was my eating habits. So in the 24 hour period we had to reduce or affect on the environment i adjusted my eating habits. I did not eat any meat or eggs in this period. I didn't even eat any bread. I strictly at ate fruit for this period of time. This was not really that costly either. It was actually cheaper than eating fast food.

24 Hours
Start
I started this assignment this weekend in my home town. I began Saturday morning at eight o' clock. On Saturday I ate breakfast and sat around the house until about 9:30. At 9:30 my mother and I took a one hour long drive to my grandmother's, who lives in a small rural town. We stayed here until about 6:30. During this time period we went to the family cemetary to clean it up a bit, I also completed a ritual of my childhood. I went walking through the surrounding woods for about three hours with a small firearm for protection. I reflected on the past year of my life while in the wilderness and thought of how quickly that year had passed. We got home at like 7 thirty. When back at home me and my mother played cards with my little sister for about an hour. At nine, we went to my dad's stepmoms house where my mom practiced singing for a group she is in and I stood by listening. I went to bed at the early hour of 11 o clock. I woke at 9:30 the next morning. The 24 hours was over. Without technology the world seemed more natural and pure. I focused more on nature and family while on the technology hiatus. I actually quite enjoyed this assignment. I only have one post because I had limited internet access this weekend in my hometown.

Next Four Years
An issue that I feel is going to greatly affect our lives in the next four years is the issue of abortion. This issue, though I am not a woman, this issue holds a close place in my heart. Millions of babies are murdered every year because it has been legalized. I think it is very likely that we have murdered the person who would have cured cancer. Many people who would have done amazing things have been removed from existence. I feel we are wasting our greatest resource. People need to move to have this issue confronted. People should not be murdered because other people lack the responsibilty to have safe sex.
