Arms And Legs Six Million
1,062 wordsWhen you think about political issues, many things come to mind. Almost, undoubtedly, abortion is one of those things.

Unfortunately, it is rare for a woman to think about the physical consequences of the abortion itself. First an...

God Is All Powerful Problem Of Evil
950 wordsPROBLEM OF EVIL One of the major arguments proposed against the existence of God in contemporary western philosophy is the problem of evil.
