I am not fond of the idea that abortion is a common practice in the USA. Abortion‚ in my Catholic opinion‚ is morally wrong and the same thing as murder. I don’t understand how men‚ women‚ children‚ animals‚ and even plants have rights‚ but babies don’t. For those of you who do not know what abortion is‚ abortion is the deliberate

Free will is seen much more frequently than fate. Fate is just much more obvious. Just like how the witches are guides for fate‚ Macbeth himself is actually a guide for free will. For example‚ Macbeth made the decision to kill the king. He was obviously persuaded by the promise of royalty but that decision was still all his own. In fact Macbeth even struggles with the decision. When talking to his wife he stated “We shall go no further in this business”. (Act 1‚ scene 7‚ page 2) His wife had to persuade
