Florida Senator Marco Rubio spoke unashamedly of his stand on life before birth last Thursday at the GOP Debate, declaring, "…All human life is worthy of protection, irrespective of the circumstances in which that human life was created." He further clarified on NBC’s "Meet the Press" Sunday evening that he definitely means all abortions: "I personally and deeply believe that all human life is worthy of the protection of our laws. I do. And I believe that irrespective of the conditions by…

ContinueAmerica is a melting pot of many cultures. Many Americans have to learn to adapt to all of the different types of religions, personalities, habits, food, culture, etc… Since 2014 this issue has not only been brought up in New Jersey, but all around the country. It hurts to see this being raised with Christian morals.

The Affordable Healthcare Act was upheld by the Supreme Court. However, Governor Greg Abbott was against the ruling and urged moving to a state that opposes the Affordable Care Act. He further stated that he would do everything he could to end Obamacare in Texas. As it is a national program simply moving to avoid the coverage mandate would not suffice.
