If a woman chooses not to seek medical attention for her unborn child, is that not the same as a mother not seeking medical attention for her baby’s aliment? In fact I believe it is and we as a society consider that negligence. So we must decide that a fetus is not a part of the mother’s body but a person, and that her right to freedom of choice must be weighed against the fetus’s right to be born in a healthy state. Against: Are we as a society ready to demand more of an expectant mother than anyone else? If we are sincerely committed to equality then the answer must be no.
“You would be much better off at home where you can live properly…you’re not going to leave us are you Lilli? No, Lilli said each time.” This shows that although Miss Dalgleish wants to ‘adopt’ Lilli, her fierce determination and value to remain true to herself will not let her. Lilli will not let Miss Dalgleish get the better of her. This is a contrast to Lilli’s supposedly neutral and wild personality, as we now get to see another side of her. “…not quite accepted in our town, for a boy and a girl our age to walk to church together unless there is an adult between them, but whereas I was embarrassed, Lilli didn’t care.” Since Kit and Lilli are almost like siblings, they should feel comfortable around one another.
Eight workers at other Kaiser hospitals and the chain’s regional office were among those implicated, said Kathleen Billingsley, deputy director of the Public Health Department’s Center for Health Care Quality. Ornstein (2009). The steps Kaiser took to protect Suleman’s privacy were not aggressive enough. Kaiser workers were still being investigated by the California Office of Health Information Integrity, which will decide whether individual penalties will be imposed. Kaiser told the public health agency on Feb. 5 that two employees inappropriately accessed the records of Suleman, who gave birth on Jan. 26 to the world’s only surviving octuplets, according to a Public Health Department report issued Thursday.

They think that this act threatens the rights of women by attacking choice and preventive care. They think that reproductive freedom is preventive care and can save lives. The members of this organization think that reproductive freedom is about empowering women to take care of their bodies however they want to. They don’t think any woman should be denied contraception or abortion because politicians have taken it upon themselves to make personal decisions for them. They don’t think a woman can be denied care because of her financial status.
Those people who are not in favor of abortion has the choice to not abort a baby and to those who has different religious and moral beliefs, like we all do, should have the right to stand what they think is right and moral and should not have to live on the belief system of other people. If a woman feels and knows that her pregnancy is harmful for her and for the baby’s physical and mental health, and if she knows that the child will grow up in poor environment, she should have the choice to do what she thinks is right, to do what she wants, and to decide for herself. Abortion is something that needs to be decided based on a person’s own beliefs and no one has the right to decide this for someone else. Do some people know what it is like to be a young, goal oriented woman, having an entire great future, and then she is suddenly facing difficult decision of choosing her great future or having an unwanted child?

| Washington, D.C. welfare caseworker Angela Perkins talks to Cynthia Harris. (Juana Arias, Washington Post) | Welfare's Changing Face By Dan FroomkinWashingtonpost.com StaffUpdated July 23, 1998 Welfare as we knew it no longer exists. The 61-year American tradition of guaranteeing cash assistance to the poor came to an end with the signing of legislation in August 1996. Under the old system, founded during the Great Depression, the federal government provided fairly uniform benefits to the nation's poor – mostly mothers and children – without regard to the details of their personal circumstances, and with no time limit. But over time, the system became increasingly unpopular.
By the early 1900s, nearly all of the states had written compulsory school education laws, yet the exclusion of students with disabilities was more common than not (Aiello, 1976, as cited in Coleman, 1992). The first three decades of the twentieth century hosted a number of milestone events as well as the establishment of national organizations principally for the welfare of disturbed individuals. In 1909, Clifford Beers and a psychologist named William James created the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. Beers, himself, had been a patient in three institutions where he received poor treatment. He wanted the public to be aware of the mistreatment happening in these housings.
English 101 11/26/12 Pro-Choice The pro-choice versus pro-life debate is something that has been feverously debated for years. This issue deals with whether or not a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy. Being pro-choice does not mean you support “killing babies”, it means you support the fact that a woman can choose to do what she wants with her body. The right to choice is important, and that should not be taken away from anyone. To be blunt, if a woman is not capable or does not want to carry and raise a child, then she should not be forced to by any governmental doctrines.
