week 2 EOC SUPREME COURT

The Supreme Court hasn't always convened a new Term on the first Monday in October; the opening day has changed over the years in order to lengthen the annual Term as their caseload expanded. The Supreme Court originally met for two terms per year; the first beginning on the first Monday in February, and the second beginning the first Monday in August. Congress reduced the requirement to a single Term, commencing on the first Monday of February, when it passed the Judiciary Act of 1802.

Cline vs. Oklahoma Coalition for Reproductive Justice is associated with an Oklahoma law that regulates a doctor's ability to prescribe a treatment program that terminates early pregnancies. The so-called RU-486 pills are a safer and less-expensive alternative to surgical abortions. A ruling supporting this law essentially keeps the "woman's right to choose" premise alive, but makes the means of getting an abortion much, much more difficult through "health and safety rules. The case examines an Oklahoma law that regulates the use of the drug Mifeprex (the brand name of mifepristone, also known as "the abortion pill"). However, those who wrote the law openly declared that their real intent is to stop doctors from actually using Mifeprex. And that’s the plan: leave a woman’s right to an abortion alone, just make sure she can’t actually get one.

That created a loophole that the anti-abortion lobby was quick to exploit, but it wasn’t a great loophole. It only allowed regulation on the basis of “good medical practices,” meaning opponents had to use science or peer-reviewed research.  I feel abortions should be up to the person getting the abortions they have to live with the out come what if they were raped and they didn’t want the child from being rapped then they shouldn’t have to.  Too the ones who are getting pregnant just cause they are being careless about it then they should only be able to get it once or twice,  three or four times is to many..

WEEK 1. EOC my voice

Hello my name is Ryan Long im a professional independent film maker im looking forward to making any kind of film. I was drawn to it at a young age I was always curious about how they made them. I always thought I could make them better for the ones I was watching. just seeing the mistakes they made in some of the movies I felt I could make them better and more interesting when it came to the special effects and editing. I'm trying to get the most out of this career for me and my family and hopefully make some history..
