Not all Texans can take care of themselves; as they age they become unable to do so, or they have disabilities that do not let them perform their lives like other Texans. The Department of Aging and Disability Services was created, and is lead by the commissioner to ensure Texans had the resources needed to live out their life safely and normal.…
The two poems Apology to My Father by David Hutchison, and On the Birth of a Son by David Campbell, are very different at first glance. On closer examination of the similarities and differences of: audience, language, themes, messages, structure and readers role, connections can be made. Readers are rewarded by carefully reading these poems.…
It’s what the mother has wanted and what she had planned. Not counting it was more than likely planned with the mothers midwife if she had one. The mother should be able to do what makes her comfortable and what is going to make her happier in the birthing process. When you want to think about it really it is about the mother because she is the one that is giving birth to the child not the doctors or the nurses or anyone else in the hospital. Everyone in the room on Friday seem to agree that the women should have been able to have and use her birth plan. There were a lot of women there that were midwifes and/or had children themselves that agreed that the women that have birth plans should be able to use them if they go to the hospital to have their…
The right to parenthood can be a very delicate matter. Many people have different views when it…
A parent can either make the situation better or worse, and luckily, her mother supported her fully in her journey. Just because abortion is illegal doesn’t mean it will stop happening, it just means more women will die in the process. All women should have access to proper reproductive care so situations like the authors experience or the woman in the motel room don’t happen again. I was not shocked however when I read what the autopsy assistant said: " The deaths stopped overnight in 1973." If the people who claim to protest abortion for pro-life, then that is a hypocritical statement. The mother’s life is just as much important as her unborn child. In the end, abortion all comes down to a choice, the choice of the woman. When women make that fateful choice to terminate a pregnancy, they shouldn’t have to worry about unsanitary doctors’ appointments where the doctors touch them inappropriately or bleeding out on a motel room floor. The only thing they should be worrying about is themselves and their choice, the fear of death in an unmarked room shouldn’t be on their already heavy…
Wrongful birth occurs where a husband or wife underwent through the procedure of sterilisation or vasectomy and even after that treatment wife got pregnancy and unwanted child born, if child born healthy, courts held that this is not harm such as in the Scottish case of McFarlane v Tayside Health Board [2000] 2 A.C. 59 . The pursuer underwent a vasectomy operation and was told that he is now safe for not having child. Following the advice of surgeons he ignored using contraceptive and as a result of this his wife became pregnant and their fifth child was born. He brought claim against Tayside Health Board that his wife suffered physical pain and distress. They claimed that this was happened all due to the negligence of the defendants. The both claim was dismissed by the Lord Ordinary (Lord Gill). He took the view that pregnancy does not fall within the scope of an injury for which damages are recoverable. Furthermore, birth of child is kind of happiness which could not be ignored. He also rejected the claim of cost for upbringing of a child. House of Lord allowed the appeal in part. They accepted the argument of mother for physical pain and stress but they said that it was unfair to extend that duty to include the costs of raising a child. The Tayside Health Board could not be held liable for any further economic loss suffered by…

This investigates the attitudes of Black Males in the St. Louis area toward the child support policy. There are many articles today that tell what the welfare policy can due for the economy however the policies that were put in place somehow never took into account of the affect it would have on the family as a whole in terms of relationships and attitudes.…
In the article Engaging Fathers in Parenting Intervention Improves Outcomes for Both Kids and Fathers, written by Anil Chacko at the New York University, readers can learn that fathers that engage with their children benefit just as greatly as the children do. After fathers that were low income and mostly Spanish speaking, entered into a reading program with their children, the benefits were visible for both parties involved.…
P2: The mother has a right to defend herself against the unborn’s use of her body…
The mother had a decision to make and I am guessing that most children would be very thankful that their mother didn’t have an abortion. I think that the constitutional principle of individual rights relates to abortion very well because, like I mentioned before the baby has the individual right. Since the baby has the individual right, it isn’t really up to the mother to choose that for her baby. “We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving” (J.K. Rowling) even though that baby is small and powerless it still deserves our…

The court did not state that viability is or is not when a fetus becomes a person; but that 24 weeks is the earliest point at which it can be proven that the fetus has the capacity to have a meaningful life as a person. I 'm pro-choice and I support legal abortions. I believe a woman has the right to make decisions about her own body as long as it doesn 't hurt anybody else.…

Interactions very between family members, and it is likely that relationships within a family can be very different from one another. Similar to the article discussed previously there are many studies that providing evidence that fathers-child interactions are crucial in aiding development of children. In “Understanding the Contribution of a Father’s Warmth on His Child’s Social Skills” it is argued that “Fathers may interact differently than mothers with their children, and fathers may socialize their children in important and distinctive ways above and beyond the contributions to socialization that mothers provide.” If mothers and fathers have different strengths that can benefit the child it is likely that having a family with both parents…
