Relationships & Family > Marital Conflicts Should spousal consent be required before a married woman has an abortion?

4 of 38

A woman's body is now and will forever be her own personal property. The uterus inside that body and any contents therein are solely her responsibility. In a perfect world, husbands and wives would find themselves on the same side when it came to making a decision for or against abortion. There would be a healthy and open con... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: The impact that cancer has on a family

1 of 6

The word cancer conjures up visions of blackness and of frail bodies with strong will. For me, personally, it conjures up visions of my father over the past decade, ending with a crystal clear vision of his black marble headstone. We lost my dad to cancer just over a year ago, and I speak from experience as to what cancer can... More..

Relationships & Family > Dating Commentary Are online daters real couples?

8 of 33

The key to answering this question is in determining the parameters of the question itself. What exactly is an "online dater" and what qualifies them as such? I found my husband on a social networking site, but we'd gone to school together previously and began dating "in person" almost immediately after finding one another. D... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?

Relationships & Family > Grief & Loss Life support: Should the wishes of the family take precedence over the patient's right to relieve his own suffering?

63 of 111

Having experienced the loss of my father at age 25, just under a year ago, my opinions of 'end of life rights' have become strengthened and overwhelmingly strong. One of the conversations that seemed to come up quite often with my dad, toward the end, was how humanely we treat our pets in terms of terminal illness as opposed ... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting (Other) Are "nanny cams" a violation of babysitters' rights?

47 of 75

Having spent a few years in my past as an in-home nanny, one would think that I'd fall on the "anti-nanny cams" side of this argument. On the contrary, now that I am a parent myself I firmly believe in the rights of guardians to be aware of what happens in their own home, whether they are there to personally observe it or not...
