Women deserve to maintain the right to the autonomy of their own body. We cannot afford to treat women as second class citizens who aren't allowed to make important medical decisions for their own wellbeing. Access to these medical procedures is not only life altering, but life saving.
My daughter deserves the right to control her future as she sees fit. So do all women. Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy. Removing that consent is the behavior of bullies and rapists.
I have two children on the spectrum and I am terrified that she would be harmed because she is aggressive. Kids who are aggressive on the spectrum tend to be more abused than those who are not .

Speak and be heard.
As a student, I believe switching to a 4-day school week would make a huge positive difference in my life. I would feel a lot less stressed because I’d have more time to relax and recharge. With an extra day off, I could catch up on assignments, study at my own pace, and actually understand the material better instead of rushing through it. It would also give me more free time to explore my interests, be creative, and even get involved in hobbies or community activities. Having that extra day would help me balance school and life in a healthier way, making me feel more motivated and refreshed each week.
Making Election Day a federal holiday in the United States could increase voter turnout by providing citizens with more time to vote without work conflicts. In the 2020 election, 13.1% of registered voters who didn’t vote cited being too busy or having scheduling conflicts as the reason. Additionally, such a holiday would celebrate democracy, turning voting into a nationwide event. This approach aligns with practices in other countries and has significant public support; a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 80% of Democrats and nearly 70% of Republicans favor making Election Day a federal holiday.
Many teenagers, like myself, are politically educated and want a say in who rules our country. If the voting age is lowered, it means that younger voices would be heard, it would promote more voting, and possibly encourage more teens to educate themselves politically to prepare. Sixteen year olds should be allowed to vote and stand for what they believe in.
