to choose what we as women can do with our bodies; people should not be judged because of a decision they are making in their life. I realize that many things can stop a woman from having an abortion‚ and I respect everyone’s opinions or ways of life.

As women do we not have the right to choose what happens

When first presented with emergency powers‚ my mind goes straight to a martial law type of event. It’s hard to imagine a situation dire enough that would constitute emergency powers being evoked on an entire population in that manner‚ but I suppose anything is possible in this day and age.

720444421 Against Objects In arguing against the endurantist’s theory of reality—that is‚ the idea that objects are wholly present and only present in the ‘now’—a bold conclusion is made: that the endurantist contradicts himself in believing an object that has changed is identical to itself in a time before it had changed. The argument is this: endurantists believe that every object is numerically identical to (is the same as) itself at every point in time during its ‘object-hood’ or lifespan. For

The Argument For and Against Gun Laws There are many issues in the media related to gun control laws.

The ‘Hole’ Argument Against Substantivalism The ‘hole’ argument against substantivalism is a great argument created by Albert Einstein out of desperation when his general theory of relativity ran into obstacles. The ‘hole’ argument says that if the general theory of relativity is true and substantivalism is true‚ then for any model of the general theory of relativity representing a physically possible universe‚ there is a hole diffeomorphism of that model which represents a physically possible
