Abortion

There have been many protests and movements to try and get abortion illegalized. Abortion should stay legal. Getting pregnant can be a mistake and people deserve a second chance. If abortion was illegal, women would try and abort the baby themselves. Rape victims should not have to carry a baby around in their bodies for nine months

People who have unexpected pregnancies should have a second chance. Children can be a blessing and a burden. Babies require a lot of money and time to take care of. People who are considering abortion, especially teenagers, do not have the time or money for them. Unexpected pregnancies have kept many men and women form accomplishing their dreams. Getting an abortion can offer them a second chance.

Making abortion illegal would only put women at risk of injuring themselves. Abortion has been illegal in this country before. One reason that this was changed was due to the amount of illegal abortions that were performed. An illegal abortion does not involve a skilled surgeon removing a baby. Instead, the pregnant woman does it herself. This either resulted in death or serious injury.

The opposition states that a parent should adopt their baby if they do not want it. However, a rape victim should not have to carry around a reminder of the most traumatizing event in their life. Being raped is a moment one will never forget. Many women struggle with it the rest of their lives. Forcing them to go through a pregnancy would be torture. It would greatly add to their emotional stress.

In conclusion, legalized abortion does more good than bad. Abortion will always be legal. People make mistakes and should have another chance to fix what they did. Illegal abortions lead to the deaths of many women and rape victims should not have to go through a pregnancy.

The NFL has a rule, called the Rooney rule, which states that a team must interview a minority when a head coaching spot becomes available. the NFL should have this rule removed. The rule should be removed because it is unfair, it could grow, and it is racist.
The rule is unfair to football teams and other coaches. when a coach is fired, most teams already have candidates in mind, and sometimes, already know exactly who they want. This forces teams to blindly interview minority coaches for a spot that is most likely already filled.
If this rule is not removed, it could grow and force teams to consider whit players when a spot on the field becomes available. a majority of the NFL is made up of minorities and if this rule was made to put more minorities in coaching positions then why would it not apply to putting more whites on the field? If this happened, it would hurt the NFL because fans want it to be the best football league in the world, not the most diverse.
Lastly, the Rooney rule itself is racist. by enforcing this rule, it is saying that minorities are not good enough to get the job on their own and need a rule to get them the interview.
In conclusion, the Rooney rule needs to be abolished from the league due to its unfairness, its possibility of growth, and its racism.

Jay Cutler

Recently, Jay Cutler has been under fire from the media, fans, and players. Cutler is the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears and helped lead them to their first NFC championship game since 2006. It was what happened right after half-time which has lead to the controversy. Early in the second quarter, Cutler was hit and went down awkwardly. He was able to finish out the first half but hobbled into the locker room. He did come out to start the third quarter but was taken out shortly after. Before the game even ended people started “tweeting” on twitter about how he has no heart and how he is a quitter. However, it turned out that not only was it the coach’s decision to take Cutler out, but doctors diagnosed him with a MCL sprain, an injury that would have made him questionable for the super-bowl if they had made it. Now, I am not a Jay Cutler fan. The media is usually against him and most of the time they have every right to be. However, in this case, I think everyone should give him a break. Even after his diagnoses people still criticized him for not acting like he was more hurt than he really was. I realize that he is disrespectful to the media which is why they are so hard on him but that does not mean they are right. He tried and wanted to play but his coach took him out and, based on his injury, he was right to do so. I believe that there are not many players out there that would have finished the game in his condition which is why people should leave the guy alone.
