Deb Fischer: The Dignity Of Life

1597 Words7 Pages

Introduction Following a representative for a few months has revealed many unexpected things. The representative I chose to follow is Deb Fischer. There were many reasons why I chose to follow Deb Fischer. A few of those were that she cared strongly about health care, is a female, and owns her own ranching business. My life is mainly composed of those three things so I wanted to follow somebody that had a concern greater than mine on those topics. However, I do think that any of Nebraska’s representatives would have been a wonderful to follow, but I just felt more of a connection with Deb Fischer’s intentions. Keeping up with everything that Deb Fischer has been doing has been very detailed. Finding the resources that would support all sides of the story and not just hers was quite challenging. Many of the information found was all in favor of Fischer because they wanted to promote her and her views. There were also many sources that provided detailed information on the bills. Before this class, I did not realize how many bills there actually are. The process that the Senate goes through to approve and move the bill through is very thorough and long. I used to think that if the bill sounded good to the majority that it was passed through and maybe had another …show more content…

Following Fischer’s moves, and abortion being a hot topic, an article was written by Fischer, titled “The Dignity of Life.” In this email it mainly stated that she believes all unborn children deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and she feels very strongly about this. For me, since I fully agree with her in this case I appreciate that she is updating us on this topic. Especially since it’s a topic that is discussed about a lot in today’s society. Being on the side of agreement in this case, this strongly supports that she is being very ethical in this case because abortion is dealing with real human

    Ever since the creation of Congress, it has not been uncommon to hear or see negative criticisms about it. Congress has evolved from when it was created, but the role it plays has not changed. Even though there are many criticisms about the ways on how Congress is run, the system is an important and essential part of the United States government. Integral it may be, but today, many people find it difficult to answer the questions of how Congress works, what it does, and why it exists. In Lee Hamilton’s How Congress Works and Why you Should Care, the author shows what Congress actually does do and how it affects the American people every single day.

It was doubtful that this debate would be anywhere near as fun to watch as the Republican debate with it’s over the top characters Trump, Fiorina, Christie and Bush but it did give an important idea where these particular candidates stand on issues that worry the everyday American. Anderson Cooper introduced the candidates as they took the stage - Chafee, O’Malley, Clinton, Sanders, and Webb. As the candidates introduced themselves and Cooper starts the debate with an awesome question to Clinton, “Will you say anything to get elected?” Clinton explains that any changes in her positions have more to do with learning more about the issues and that as a progressive candidate she likes to get things done.

    Abortion is not only a fluctuating concept in our society, but an ethical and emotional debate, as well. The image I have chosen presents concepts from a cultural and historical background, as well as presents an ethical, emotional, and logical appeal to the audience. The debate about abortion has simply been overblown and exhausted. The truth of the matter is, abortion is murder. Ending a life, whether innocent or guilty, is murder.

  • Women's Reproductive Rights

    1329 Words  | 6 Pages

    Women’s rights have been a long struggle in America’s legal system, as well as in the religious world, for many decades and women continue to have challenges, concerns, and struggles today. Fighting for what is best for their bodies such as a woman’s right to contraceptives to control whether she will get pregnant or not was not ideal for religious and personal reasons but would find a worthy advocate in a woman who would dedicate her life for women’s reproductive rights. The right for a woman to have an abortion became a legal battle that went all the way to the Supreme Courts in a very well-known case. It has always been a double standard in what was right and wrong, moral or immoral, towards women than men. A man was looked at with respect
