Comment on classmate's post

Here is my comment on one of the classmate's blog about Abortion.


Firstly, I do not want to mention anything about politics. Several years ago, I used to have the same thought like yours, but now, it stays away from my brain. For whatever reason, when people are pregnant, they are carrying a life, and they have to be responsible for that. Although at the very beginning of the pregnancy time, nobody is served any right to steal a life from a baby; moreover, they are their children. People just regret after the serious things really happen to them. If they do not want having babies, they know that they absolutely can prevent it from "loving" someone. Why do they have to wait until the certain things happen?! 
Back to politics, Texas is not the only one that prohibits abortion in the U.S. It shows that they do care about the future life of the babies. People should think that their offspring is equal to any other live on earth. It is illegal when they kill a person, so is abortion. It is no choice, it is responsibility. If everyone can do whatever they want, how many babies will be killed every year? Not only that, there is not a hundred percent sure that abortion is safe for anyone. Banning abortion is saving others' lives, not only the children's but also the mothers'. Letting people have freedom in abortion is like giving their chances to use a gun and shoot anyone whenever they want.

LGBT rights in Texas


The topic about LGBT rights still has been  a very hot one for a long time because it is different from state to state in the U.S. Specifically, in Texas, nothing is a-hundred percent sure. Those people are able to adopt child when they become adults just like any other, but they cannot get married, and cannot be considered as domestic partners. Moreover, they are not provided any protection from discrimination, hate laws based on their sexual and gender identity.
I totally do not agree with how Texas works on LGBT rights. The U.S is a country of freedom, and the same to its states. I have no idea that if people's real gender can affect on any side of the economy, the society, nor the developing of the country in general, and Texas in particular. With the narrow chances that Texas gives to the LGBT, it is like we are forcing them to have an unfair life. Whenever I walk by any same-sex couple, I feel so sorry for them that I cannot do anything to help. There were some House Bills which were discussed to help them through years, but still ended up with none of positive actions. I do not know what they really think, but they are so stubborn on giving those a better life living with their real sexual and gender identity. For example, when they adopt a child, but they are unable to tell their kids that they are their parents officially, neither they show their children wedding photos nor their marriage license. It also shows that the law is not connected to other advantages. They have unsafe, unfair life while living in the state which is supposed to provide the best things to their residents.
At the moment, some localities do provide legal benefits to LGBT although they are limited. I think this is a good sign to hope the same thing could happen in the whole Texas.
