They Say, I Say 3

a. Abortion is a medical practice that has been debated over for years. The depressing practice contains a procedure where a fetus is broken apart and pulled out of a woman's uterus in order to terminate her pregnancy. The woman is injected with a numbing agent and then the fetus may either be broken apart and pulled out of the woman in small pieces, or suctioned out with a vacuum and then disposed of. One of the main points against abortion is that it goes against the Bible's commandments. In the Bible, one of the Ten Commandments state that "Thou shall not murder." A fetus is a living thing, it is made out of living cells as soon as the sperm cell enters the egg cell. Therefore its life begins at conception. By breaking apart the baby or suctioning it out of the mother, it is killed, causing for abortion to go against this commandment. 

b. Abortion is a medical practice that has been debated over for years. The practice may be used in order to save a woman's life in order to prevent complications during pregnancy; and abortion can be used in order to prevent extra trauma from being put onto women if they are raped and become pregnant due to the horrible event. Abortion is only legal to be completed in early stages of pregnancy where the fetus can not survive outside of the mother. Therefore, no fetuses that are able to live on their own and support themselves would be terminated. During abortion, the mother is injected with a numbing agent and the fetus is removed using tongs or a suction device. It has been proven by science that in early stages of a pregnancy, the fetus is just a clump of cells that feeds off of the mother. It is not a living being until it can survive on its own.

a. In David Zinczenko's "Don't Blame the Eater" (pp. 245-47) he states that there are little to no cheap and healthy fast food options for working parents to get their children on the go. He protests the fact that the majority of fast food restaurants only carry fried foods high in calories, sugar, and carbs. However, although there are few 'healthy' accessible fast food restaurants, many popular fast food chains have menu items that can be substituted for the high calorie options. For example, at Chick-Fil-A grilled nuggets are offered. These nuggets are much lower in calories because they are not fried. These nuggets give children loads of protein whilst being low calorie. Also, instead of fries. Many fast food restaurants such as McDonalds or Chick-Fil-A offer fruit cups and apples as a side instead. In conclusion, a majority of fast food restaurants have healthy options that can be chosen over the high calorie burgers and chicken nuggets.

b. In David Zinczenko's "Don't Blame the Eater" (pp. 245-47) he protests that fast food restaurants lead to higher childhood obesity rates and therefore more health issues for the children later in life. The lack of warning labels on the dishes at fast food restaurants downplay the true health threats that come as a side dish with the food. However, I feel that childhood obesity is not as dangerous as it portrayed. As a child, I was a bit overweight, however as I grew in height my weight distributed itself around my body and I do not have any underlying health conditions to this day. Rather, I feel that childhood obesity is just a phrase created by society in order to make children more conscious about their bodies so they fit society's body standards.
