His purpose is to inform the public why the abortion rate has increased over the past several years and provide background information of how and why some women choose to take abortion.


 * Personal commentary:** I thought that this article was quite interesting, but disagreed with many of the people included in it. I believe that many parents are just wanting to have an easier life instead of wanting a mental child, not for the child's sake but for the parent's sake. Of course the hardships that come into play should be noted as well, yet there are numerous accounts of parents out there who are financially and emotionally able to take care of a child with down syndrome yet don't want to simply because the child may be different in the views of society.

 * Citation:**"The Washington Post Writers Group."//The Washington Post Writers Group//. N.p., n.d. Web. 31 Oct. 2011. .


 * Category:** Reading/Government


 * Precis:** Ellen Goodmen, considered one of the greatest writers of our time states in her article how hard it was ladies to gain equal rights to men. She develops her declaration by informing the readers historical incidents of women power and authority and criticizes men of how their wrongdoings downgrading women and their equality to men. She writes this article in order to inform and remind the readers of the equality of men and women.


 * Personal Commentary:** I believe that many women are taking this equality thing way to serious these days. Although i believe that it was necessary for women to be able to vote and work the same as men, but i also believe that things may have gotten too far. For example most boys when growing up has always been told to treat girls with respect and not to play rough with them, also girls are always forcing guys to do all the physical labor, if girls want to have equality so much then why not do the labor themselves. I really wonder how far this notion of equality will be, who know one day they might start arguing that god should not only be regarded as father but as mother as well.

 * Citation:**


 * Category:** Reading/Government


 * Precis:** Ellen Goodman one of the best known authors in america today argues in her article that those who choose or not to choose to abstain from sexual activities have no trend or pattern that those who choose to abstain from sexual activities actually do. She is able to develop her argument by providing evidence of studies shown by John Hopkins researchers. Her purpose in writing this article is to show the public information and truths.


 * Personal Commentary:** I was very surprised that all there were no correlations of those who actually choose to abstain from sexual activities from those who do not. I think that this proves to show how the effect of all these programs that want kids to not have sex is quite pointless and should let kids just learn from their own mistakes.
