Abortion in Utah community

[tmorrell-blog1]

hi guys

I just wanted to let you all know that I will not be posting on my blog from now on. I was using the blog for my English class and now the class has come to an end, I don’t need to keep my blog up and not post anything. I had a great experience with this blog and I enjoyed posting my ideas with you guys and seeing your posts. I might come back and use it one day but for now I have to shut it down. I hope sharing my ideas about abortion has helped and you all have learned something from it like I did. Before I started on abortion, I had different opinion on it and now I have learned so much and it has helped me with new ideas. I have shared some sources that will help if you are still interested on understanding my topic better. Thank you

Article credibility

According to Goodwin, Michele. Lawmakers and legislators seem to be against abortion and many of them are willing to pass laws against abortion and punish those who practice and abort. Abortion has been so acclaimed and hot topic in recent politics and many politicians did not shy away to show where they stand regarding to the topic those including governors and presidential candidates. Many of them stated their desire to punish women for abortion; “one presidential candidate promised he would punish pregnant women who seek abortions.’ In additional to lawmakers and legislators, many state are also considering on passing a stricter law than the current ones for abortion.

I like to think this sources as a credible one, as the author uses so many resources on the paper and properly gives credit to the sources she used. In addition to that, the sources of the article are a credible place since I found it in the UVU library site. The article was also published on Health Matrix which a credible journal article of Health and Law of medicine.

I agree with article because I was following the presidential election and I was able to observe the actions and point views of the presidential candidates. In addition to that law makers and legislators have always been dragged around the debate of abortion.

Real Talk  http://trans-parenting.tumblr.com

This blog post was about how hardship and exhausted parenting can be.

It was an interesting blog as the bloggers were sharing their experience as a parent and it scared me a lot and made me question if I really want be a parent yet. I do not have the same experience but I think from how her day went with the kids and it is fair to say the author have every right to complain about parenting. It was very emotional and realistic statement. 

It was not very concrete and the reason she mentioned seem very common experience a parent encounter. It was also very contradicting as she did not know where she stands wether she likes parenting a lot and how often those experience happened. It was not detailed enough on what other conditions make the experience she had make parenting hard.

Muslim hate crime incidents.

 Islamophobia in a rise. 

Ever since the 9/11 incidents that took place in New York, the hate on muslim in the United States have reached its peak and is still on a rise. according to a post on GlobalNation the rate and extremism against muslim in the country have increased more than three times just within this year after the Paris and San Bernardino attacks. the date stated that the hate increased “ to 38 attacks per month from a previous record of 12.3 suspected hate crimes.’ 

Mosque Burn down in Texas:

A mosque which is the holy place where muslims gather and hold their prayers; were burned down. many members of the community believed it was a hate crime. since it occurred days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that banned an immigration entrance from seven muslim countries. those two fire incidents came in a time were the tension of the hate on muslims is in the verge of rising in the nation (Mansoor, 2017). 

Profession Challenges as a Muslims:

Just like the rest of us muslims are found in different profession helping build our communities, however they face different challenges and stereotypes that come with it. “ a muslim teacher in Atlanta is told to hang herself with her headscarf” (Abdelaziz, 2017). Many other muslim in different profession face similar challenges and obstacles just because they are muslim.
