    The article is about the church's outlook on abortion.They believe that abortion is a "Two Dublane massacres a day in our country going on and on."And they are also trying to restore the youth's faith, in order to prevent these happenings.

  6. 1)Gay marriage and abortion: Different trends underlie campaign’s two wedge issues
    2)http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/gay-marriage-and-abortion-different-trends-underlie-campaigns-two-wedge-issues/2012/05/12/gIQAZyYHKU_story.html
    3) It makes sense that the two issues would run different paths.The abortion issue is mainly about something that's not alive.The gay issue some people position it as faith.Alot of people judge then and know them as not real people.

  9. DC becomes national abortion battleground with bill that would ban procedure after 20 weeks

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/bill-that-would-ban-abortions-in-dc-after-20-weeks-to-get-hearing-in-congress/2012/05/17/gIQA9TmMVU_story.html


    A bill is trying to be pass for abortion while other states have pass this bill Nebraska the bill has become one of the top issues right now. Many people feel that the bill would violate women's right if they were to be rape or in the case of incest maybe they would want to get rid of that child. The bill has little chance of becoming a bill this year because of the white house and the senate but people who fight against abortion are ready to keep fighting the bill.
