Controversial Issues: Abortion
For as long as there has been ilegal abortions, or as long as the world has come to know them, there has been controversial discussions among the two groups facing each other with entirely opposite positions.
On one hand, there is the Pro-life posittion vs. the Pro- choice possition. The people that support the pro-life movement, are against abortion and in favor of giving that baby in adoption or finding a tutor/foster family. On the other hand the Pro-choice movement supports the abortion and are in favor of what the mother chooses, because they are dealing with her body and she has the right to choose over her own body.
In my oppinion I was raised thinking that abortion is, and will be murder. The people that carry out this kind of procedures cannot call themselves doctors. Doctors are ment to keep people alive, provide them with health, not kill them.
The thing is, many people dont considder fetuses people. Any doctor can say that a fetus is considered a live person from the moment they are concebed.
The problen nowaday is that there are many rapes, risks of the death of the mother, among other issues that makes this subject so controversial. In some countries abortions are legal only in special cases, alredy ennounced, and are throughly considdered.

Santa Cruz police chief forced out
President Néstor Kirchner’s home province of Santa Cruz has been rocked by union unrest and by violence for more than two years. Recent news tell that a former police officer has resigned alleguing personal reasons, being that he has been judged of the murders of several teachers in the provincial capital of Río Gallegos on Friday night.
A prosecutor yesterday said that Varizat had had the “intention to injure” the teachers who where demanding higher wages at the same time that first lady Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was leading a campaign rally in Río Gallegos.
Santa Cruz Governor Daniel Peralta yesterday replaced the provincial police chief, who quit after civil service unions demanded his resignation and was replaced by his deputy, Alejandro Martín.
The Río Gallegos Prosecutor Andrés Vivanco said that Varizat, who is under arrest, had intentionally injured teachers who were staging the protest, using his vehicle.
Personal Reaction
I found this article very interesting because it´s a reality in this country. The numbers of attacks on teachers and on numerous people demanding a better way of life are overwhelming.
The incident that happened a few months ago in the argentinian province of Neuquen is also related to this article, without mentionig the uncountable eppisodes that happen daily in Argentina. 108
On the months of elections these kind of eppisodes are sort of hidden from the public because the politicians are trying to make people think that the situation in the country is fine so that we think that they are good governors and vote them once again.
In my oppinion the way to stop these incidents is by denying our vote to those governors that we know are corrupt, and not being influenced by their promisses or bribes.

love
To love, you must give yourself in,
with no worrys or complaints.
When you're truly in love,
you know it,
because you know that you're safe
when you're with them.
That the world can fall down,
but you'll be fine, because you're next to him.
When you're in love,
time goes by, like a falling star,
it goes so fast that you hope
that there was more than 24 hours in the day.
That's when you know that you're in love,
when you feel like flying,
and those butterflyes in your stomach,
when it seems that
he is the only one for you,
and you know that you're ment for each other.
That's love.
