Sasha Bukhtiyarova 11/1/15 Social Studies P. 5 Amendment Argument Essay Whether it be from a night gone wrong to a freak accident, babies can happen. And after a woman is pregnant, she’s faced with a choice: go through hours of painful childbirth to either give up her child or keep it and have to support it financially, or she can have an abortion. However, states are trying to restrict the conditions a woman must be eligible for in order to have an abortion. In response to this, I’m proposing a 28th Amendment: â€Å"The states cannot restrict how late an abortion is done, how it is done, who it is done to, or anything else pertaining to a woman’s right to a legal abortion.† The purpose of this amendment is to provide women with a security that they can abort a child no matter how late the pregnancy is, or why it is being conducted. Not only is rape a huge player in abortions, but so are accidental pregnancies, previously believing you were ready for a baby, then having a financial problem or having an ultrasound conducted and seeing that your child has a mental condition that would make it harder to live than is humane. Some places have tried to deny women their right to an abortion, and therefore caused more harm than necessary (ex. Savita Halappanavar, which will be later touched on). Passing this Amendment is necessary because abortions are conducted for many different reasons (not just rape or incest), multiple states are trying to clamp down these rights, and beingShow MoreRelatedArgumentative Essay : First Amendment Junkie By Susan Jacoby1042 Words   |  5 Pages Argumentative Analysis of the Essay â€Å"First Amendment Junkie† by Susan Jacoby What is a First Amendment Junkie?

Another example of Chavez that states upon American History is the Supreme Court Case U.S v. Wong Kim Ark.

I chose this one because I figured analyzing it would not be too difficult after writing about â€Å"First Amendment Junkie,† in a previous assignment. Susan Brownmillers essay voices her feminist view towards pornographic material. Her claim is that without restriction, the first amendment has allowed women to be publicly perceived as objects.

Wasserman opposes the codes and regulations because they insist that no matter how profane the speech, it is still protected under The First Amendment.

If the death penalty does contradict the Eight Amendment, then the State should not have the power to sentence criminals to death for capital crimes.

I think half of this site is pretty good to use for my paper. The second website has a lot of information for my readers but the author has no definite side on the issue and can’t be used to persuade my readers. The last two websites are essays about censorship and wouldn’t be good sources of information for my readers because some of the sources might not be trustable. We must stop the censoring of art and let the artists freely express their music because everyone deserves to express him
