I have taken classes with you before, so I had no problem understanding the syllabus. It is surely not an easy course. I can see, there is lots of reading and time commitment is required to understand the material. Instructions are clear, as you have posted everything on the first page, there is no way to miss something. The best part of the reading is it is written in simple word but in a very interesting. It might be because it discusses about real life issues. In general, what I understood by federalism is the power shared between the state and the federal. Separation of powers is an “act of vesting the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of government in separate bodies”. And stare decisis means the legal principle of determining points in litigation, according to precedent. The movie we watched in the class “the last abortion clinic” is definitely relevant in this situation. This movie connects the dots from Roe v Wade, which allowed states to regulate abortion so long as they did not place an "undue burden" to the Planned Parenthood v. Casey (the pro-life movement has dramatically changed the landscape of abortion politics). It …show more content…
Sebelius examine the effects of the Supreme Court decision on the affordable Care Act (ACA). This included the portions of legal orders and rules. NFIB effects are still likely to be indirect, which have marked a destabilization called “constitutional gestalt” which is also referred to as “New Deal Settlement”. It is understood that these cases established a constitutional regime of plenary and virtually unlimited national legislative power under the Commerce Clause. ACA was not as easy bill to pass. There was numerous challenged it had to face. Issues like individual mandate, Medicaid expansion, Medicaid fund, tax power, spending power and many more. It is obvious that passing the bill of ACA and actually getting success on having all Americans health insurance is a victory achieved my President
Small town girl Casey Anthony became infamous after the suspicious disappearance of her daughter, Caylee Anthony. As her case unfolded, she had many lies and criminal charges, stacked against her. This unfair trial led the majority of americans to believe she was unquestionably guilty. Casey’s troubles began early on.
Does the father have a say when it comes to abortion? It was ruled unconstitutional under the Supreme Court in Plan Parenthood v. Danforth under the reasoning that the husband’s refusal to consent would veto the women’s choice to terminate a pregnancy and considering that she is the one who is caring the pregnancy the court voted in favor of the mother. Which now prevents the father from vetoing the choice of the mother in the choice of abortion. If the father wants the mother to go through with abortion but she says no as a result the father will still have to pay child support. The father does not even have to be notified due to the Supreme Court decision on Plan Parenthood v. Casey.
What makes someone guilty of murder? There are different types of murder in the world. You can still be labeled for murder even if you are not physically the cause of it. In this case, Casey Anthony was brought up on charges of murder for her daughter. She may have been found not guilty, but does that still exclude her from being labeled for murder.
Abortion was constitutionalized in 1973 after one of the most intensely debated United States Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, in which the court ruled that women have the right to an abortion free of interference by the state. It allowed women to abort within the first twenty-four weeks. However, it allowed states to regulate abortion (who, where, when, why) during the second trimester. It also gave states the right to ban most abortions in the third trimester; the abortion procedure was considered a risk for both, the baby’s health and the mother’s health, at the third trimester (Should Abortion Be Legal). Lastly and more importantly, women were given independence and the ability to choose when and whether to have children.
Since then many state laws have been passed to limit or restrict abortion. The declining abortion numbers are often said to be because of these laws (“The Significance of Planned Parenthood v. Casey - Why Pro-Life?,” 2016). While the right to an abortion is still legal, it is limited by each state. Women deserve the right to be in charge of their bodies, without having to comply with restrictions.
The laws that mandate abortion took a climatic turn on January 22, 1973 during the pivotal Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, which essentially limited the states’ ability to prohibit abortion as it was unconstitutional and it violated the women’s right to privacy (Gold). Although the right to a privacy was not explicitly mentioned in the constitution, it was guaranteed in the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process clause. It confirmed that women have a constitutional right to an abortion, but with certain limitations. The law made it illegal for the state and federal governments to ban abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy, but they were given power declaring abortion illegal in the last three months of pregnancy. Furthermore, it only
Even though there is no “federalism” named in the US Constitution; federalism was the government system that created this nation. It was the creation of a federal government overseeing politically independent states that has made the government of the United States so unique. Federalism is “the division of powers and responsibilities between the national and state governments” (Fallon Jr, p. 961) The Constitution of the United States includes many provisions with the powers and responsibilities of the federal and the state governments. These provisions underlaying the division of responsibilities between the national and state government.
I am a social work student at Frostburg State University and I have completed a policy analysis on the defunding of Planned Parenthood. I oppose defunding of Planned Parent because I believe it serves a good purpose in communities. Defunding of Planned Parenthood would remove all federal funding and allow states to take away state funding from them. Without the 500 million dollar yearly funding that Planned Parenthood receives they will have to shut down a numerous amount of their clinics and many of the nine million clients will not have anywhere to go to for preventive and family planning services. In 2012, Texas stopped funding Planned Parenthood with state aid.
The landmark Supreme Court case, Roe v. Wade served as the first case in a string of many court decisions that limited a state’s ability to outlaw abortions. The Roe case addressed whether a woman had a constitutional right to “choose to terminate her pregnancy”? The Roe case had to decide whether states had any compelling interest that would allow them to regulate or outlaw a women’s ability to receive a medical abortion? Also, under what standards would states be able to constitutionally pass legislation that regulated a women’s right to have an abortion? After much debate, the Supreme Court held that women had a right to have an abortion without being in fear of criminal charges, so long as the procedure took place within her first trimester.
Planned Parenthood Hearing The Congressional "hearing" of Planned Parenthood was more interrogation than listening tour. It was political grandstanding of the worst order. Only in the US do we have a "serious" political party who spend their time and taxpayer resources attempting to legislate their citizen's sex lives and keep (poor) women in reproductive chains. I guess when the world's problems get too complicated for tiny minds, talking about sex is the best option.
Over the past year there has been a vast amount of discussion dealing with American politics and the American Presidential election. The debates between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton sparked fear in certain races and sexes throughout the world. Of particular interest was the debate revolving around Planned Parenthood and women's rights in America. After Trumps personal take on Planned Parenthood, it became apparent that women's rights could be threatened if he became president. Although Clinton had her flaws, she believed in women's rights and is an advocate for Planned Parenthood.
The Supreme Court 's ruling changed the American Government forever. "It was therefore perhaps the single most important moment of the decade" (Tackach 9). The decision motivated citizens to reach equality. It also challenged those who greatly opposed the new changes, to be more open minded.
The Right to Abortion On January 22, 1973, in a 7-2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down it’s landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which recognized that the constitutional right to privacy extends to a woman’s right to make her own personal medical decisions — including the decision to have an abortion without interference from politicians (Planned Parenthood). There are many moments in history when Roe v. Wade has been so close to being overturned, yet it is still in place. Abortion should stay legal, or not overturned, for the health of women everywhere. First, this important case took place at the time of abortion being illegal in most states, including Texas, where Roe v. Wade began.
Cindy Anthony contacted 911 and mentioned that she hasn't seen her two year old granddaughter for almost a month. She made that call on July 15, 2008 and also stated that she would like Casey Anthony charged with taking a vehicle and cash. Casey really found pleasure in lying to the cops and did not show any feelings about her daughter Caylee missing. The Florida grand jury accused Casey of false information to police four times, aggravated child neglect, homicide of a child, and first degree murder. These charges were on October 14, 2008.
Before Roe v. wade the number of deaths from illegal abortions was around 5000 and in the 50s and 60s the number of illegal abortions ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million per year. These illegal abortions pose major health risks to the life of the woman including damage to the bladder, intestines as well as rupturing of the uterus. The choice to become a mother must be given to the woman most importantly because it’s her body, her health, and she will be taking on a great responsibility. A woman’s choice to choose abortion should not be restricted by anyone; there are multiple reasons why abortion will be the more sensible decision for the female.
