Law Opinion Paper

Looking at the beginning of time there was laws. The bible said there are ten laws that we should abide by to get to heaven. Those laws were called commandants in the bible. Now it is not that serious as it was in the bible but we still have laws we have to abide by in our everyday life.

The first laws in this country was the U.S. Constitution. The U.S constitution was established as a foundation for our rights. Those rights where like we have the right of free speech and the rights to bear arms. These rights was the first laws of this country.

The creation of law start with either the house or senate or president propose a bill. If the president propose a bill it will go to the house of represented. The bill have to get a majority of votes to move on to the next level. The next level is the senate. The bill have to get the majority of votes in the senate. If the bill passes with Majority of the votes it will become law. Bills can take months even years before it passes into law. There is a long process a lot of fighting among each other before being passed. Some bills go in front of the public before going in front of the house. It is along drawn of process that sometimes leads to fighting before it gets pass. Other laws have become a foundation in the political world to get votes.

When it comes to what I believe should or should not be law. I believe Abortion should not be a law. Why I feel this way because you are killing a baby who did not ask to be brought into this world. A baby who did not do anything wrong. The biggest thing I hear from people is "It's my body, my life, my choice." That's not a reason for abortion. For every action is a reaction. If you're not married, not financially stable, and not practing safe sex. Then your consequence is getting pregnant. You should not kill a baby for your mistakes. There are other options you can take. Some say what if the woman was raped what should we do? Abortion is still not the answer. You put the guy in Jail that is step one. Step two
