Blog Eight

I disagree with my classmate’s blog titled, “Changing goals (blog stage 7).” Algebra II should be required for all high school students. As my classmate mention many students will drop out of school because some students think it will be waste of time taking algebra II, while they can take other class or could be working. First off, I think students drop out of school because they simply don’t like school, I don’t think algebra II is a reason for students to drop out. Many students now a day they still don’t know if they want to keep going to school to pursue a degree in math/science  all they want to do is graduate at least from high school and get their diploma. In the other hand, what will happen if they want to continue college later on in life? Will they have to take algebra II? Or just go straight to college algebra? I think keeping Algebra II will be the best decision for all students to have the same core class requirement regardless on their plan for the future if they decide to go to college after a few years. In conclusion, the education system should keep the same requirements; it would not hurt any student to gain any extra knowledge.

"Abortion Affiliates"

The article that I read was about a Texas lawmaker who introduced legislation that would nullify a controversial the Abortion Affiliate rule, banning from Medicaid programs that offer abortion along with other health care services to low- income women. Rep. Lon Burnam, a House Democrat is against for those who want to have abortion as part of Women’s Health Care because it will put in danger access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, diabetes testing , STD testing  and birth control services for 50,000 of the state’s poorest women. Burnam is preventing Planned Parenthood from getting excluded from the program because of women getting abortion, but Government Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott strongly support the Abortion Affiliate Rule. However, the abortion affiliate ban will be a reason for the state to lose federal dollars. The president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Ken S. Lambrecht said, “ Women’s health care providers in North Texas and across the State are already reeling from the Texas Legislature’s drastic and politically motivated cuts to women’s health care funding.”

 
I agree with Burnam. Women should not use health care providers who also provide abortion. Health care should be used only to protect the health of women who rely on the Women’s Health Program. It is true that everyone has the right to abort anytime and anywhere, but I think there also people who care about the human being inside the women’s belly and any public health program shouldn’t cover abortions of women who feel differently; since it’s their own decisions,  It should come out of their own pockets. I also think providing women with health care for abortion is like paying someone to kill a life. In conclusion Women’s Health care should only be covering the necessary of women.
