.... the spread of this hideously lethal disease. In this essay I hope to present this information. History and Overview: AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Defficiency Disease. It is caused by a virus. The disease origiunated somewhere in Africa about 20 years ago. There it first appeared as a mysterious ailment afflicting primarily heterosexuals of both sexes. It probably was spread especially fast by primarily female prostitutes there. AIDS has already become a crisis of STAGGERING proportions in parts of Africa. In Zaire, it is estimated that over twenty percent of the adults currently carry the virus. That figu .....

.... that abortion providers cannot perform the procedure on a woman 17 or younger until 48 hours after one parent has been notified by certified mail, however the law does not require that the parent give consent. If minor fears for her safety if her parents find out about her sexual activity, or are she can demonstrate that she is mature enough to make the decision on her own she can bypass the law by requesting a hearing before a Superior Court Judge. In implementing this act New Jersey has become the 40’Th State in the county to enforce laws requiring minors to either notify their parents or receive consent from them before having an abortion. The Un .....

.... it commercially valuable (“Asbestos” 1, 2). Asbestos is used to make corrosive and flame resistant fabrics such as the production of brake linings and fire proof clothes (“Asbestos” 3,4). Asbestos properties include easy access and availability, durability, tensile strength yet flexible, and thereby produce many useful products. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), “there are six types of asbestos fibers: Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, Anthophylite, Actinolite, and Tremolite” (8). OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has categorized asbestos work into four different classes depending on the amount of expo .....

.... not closed. Pro-life activists carry a strong argument, and continue to push their beliefs. They feel so strongly about these beliefs that violence has broken out in some known instances. Pro-choice activists, on the other hand, also carry very strong points. They believe that the child inside them is their property and it's life doesn't be until birth. In 1973, the United States Supreme Court decided that as long as the baby lived in the womb, he or she would be the property of the mother. Because of this decision almost every third baby conceived in America is killed by abortion, over one and a half million babies a year (Willke vii). Many countries hav .....

.... a significantly stronger argument. In this non-religous age,any debate would probably have to begin by reviewing the religous objections to suicide which, in Judeo-Christian cultures, have been the most persistent and are stilll widespread. The most basic of these is that suiicide is forbidden by the Bible. In fact, there are no specific biblical instructions against suicide, only prohibitions of killing which are better interpreted as forbidding the unlawful killing of others.Besides, the suicides that do occur in the Bible-Samson,Saul and Judas among others-are not described in a disapproving manner. Both Jewish and Christian disapproval of suicide dates .....

.... carrying the foetus for nine months. Having the option to perform an abortion can solve that obstacle. Taking away this right would be invading on a woman's constitutional liberty. Women choose to have an abortion because pregnancy and childbirth can prevent them from keeping them jobs, from feeding them families, and from serving others in a way they consider necessary and appropiate. Pregnancy and child birth may dtermine whether a woman ever gets to start or complete her education, which will significantly influence her ability to support herself and her family. The availability of abortion makes it possible for people not only to choose the number of chi .....

.... that over 850,000 cases of skin cancer will occur in the United States during 1996. Of those cases, they predict that 9,430 will end in death (4., p 1). Apparently, Americans still do not have an adequate amount of prevention information to help reduce the disfigurement and mortality from this cancer. Exposure to the ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the most frequently blamed source of skin cancer. Due to the reduction of ozone in the earth's atmosphere, UV radiation is higher today than it was several years ago. Ozone serves as a filter to screen out and reduce the UV light that reaches the earth's surface and its people. Very simply, sunburn .....

.... of a human being gives all but the most hard-hearted among us cause for serious introspection. One reason the debate goes nowhere is that each side focuses on a different topic. We make no progress because we are not talking about the same thing. The pro-abortionist prefers to discuss choice, and to dwell on all of the social problems inherent in an unwanted child. The anti-abortionist is interested primarily in protecting the life of the fetus. In simple terms, the pro-abortionist focuses on a woman's rights and the anti-abortionist focuses on a fetus' rights. Though interrelated, these are basically different topics. Though neither side realizes it, .....
