Abortion: we all deserve to decide to live

Should abortion be legal? Abortion is a huge debate between Americans in the U.S. The thought of killing a human child for one's selfish reasons is highly unethical and is debated through the U.S. to why abortions are legal. There is also debate that a fetus is not considered a baby and not considered a human being therefore abortions are not technically taking lives This is still debated after the 7-2  Roe v. Wade court decision declaring abortions a "fundamental right" This court case in 1973 was a land mark decision for the U.S. Supreme Court. A woman's constitutional right to privacy creates the reasoning for allowing abortions but there has to be legitimacy for the reasoning of abortion. In Utah a law is being passed  holding women criminally liable for illegal abortions. Utah Gov. Gary Herbert on Monday signed the controversial law that allows women to be charged "for killing an unborn child." The push for the legislation began after a 17-year-old caused an outcry in May when she paid a man $150 to beat her in the stomach in the hopes of ending her pregnancy. A Utah judge said the girl could not be prosecuted because there was no law holding women responsible for the death of their fetus. The video below goes in depth of the situation. I believe abortions should be illegal because I feel that one's life is just as precious as the others even a fetus or unborn child.

Is Freedom of religion too free?

Religion in the United States is supposed to be free and we can do whatever we want as long as it does not go against amendments and other laws. This is constitutionally guaranteed in religious clauses of the first amendment. One situation related to the religion rights that is being questioned heavily is the burning of the Koran in Florida. A local church in Florida is deciding to have a day dedicated to burning of the Koran. There are many reactions to this situation. The burning of the Koran is extremely offensive to Muslims and there intends to be a outraged reaction to this nondenominational church's Koran burning. The video below goes in depth of this event in Gainesville, Florida. There are two main clauses in the amendment in regards to freedom of religion which are the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment Clause states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". This basically means that citizens of the U.S. have a right to their own religion to practice and the government can not give a standard of a certain religion to worship. The "Free Exercise Clause" states that Congress can not "prohibit the free exercise" of religious practices. This means religion can be practiced at all times and government can not hinder this. I feel freedom of religion applied to the United States is a great idea and should not ever be in consideration of  being eliminated.
