For Women under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage

The article Women under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage is about being married when you have a child. mothers of all ages, about 59 percent in 2009 are married  when they have children. also, nearly two-thirds of children on the United States are born to mothers under 30. which leads to transforming family and a hint of coming generational change. marriage has become a luxury good said Frank Furstenberg at the universitty of pennsylvania. 73 percent of black children are born outside marriage, comparing with 53 percent of latinos and 29 percent of whites. also, eduction differences are continuing to increase. 92 percent of women that go to college are married, when they get pregnant comparing with 62 percent of women with some post-cesondary schooling and 43 percent of women with high school diploma or less according to child trends. even as many Americans withdraw from marriage, researchers say they expect more from it. so overall this article is to inform people a bout people that are  not married and how that leads in to their child behavior and what type of impact that puts on them. i think that people should start to get married because its a better thing to do before you have kids. when you have kids after that, life is sometimes better. if you have a child while not being married life could turn out to be worst. if you have both your parents and they are married, i think kids will feel more comfortable with their life style.

women in texas losing options for health care and abortion fight

The article "Women in Texas Losing Options for Health Care in Abortion Fight" is about how health services are not the best, it talks about a clinic that closed in October along with over a dozen others in the state of texas. the financing for their health was cut by two thirds from the Republican-control Legislature. this act left many low-income women even more less of options, the inconvenience and cost is a problem too. some of the clinics that were not affiliated to close and the ones run by Planned Parenthood said they were motivated by the fight against abortion. also, it is likely another shutdown will happen with the Medicine Women's Health Program. this clinic serves 130,000 women.  i think it's a bad thing that the clinics are getting shut down because of those reasons. there are a lot of women, young women at that  are getting pregnant and they need the health care that they deserve. this should be somemthing that is changed, its putting a lot of people in a bad situation. clinics should be always open for young women, because if they are not open there are going to be a lot of health problems. health problems would be a major problem. if there is a stop towards these clinics not opening that would be much better. it would be much better because there would be less and less abortion problems in the world for women all ages.  i think that the closing of the clinics will get handled in a better way.

photoshopped or not tool

The article "Photoshopped or not, a tool to tell" is about photographers for celebrities also models in the fashion advertisements and magazines. adding digital polish and buffing their pictures. they an change multiple things such as wrinkles, color of brightness, the size of their body pimples and a lot of other things they might want to change about the person. Dr. Farid said he became intrigued by the problem after reading about photo-labeling proposals in europe. Dr. Farid and Eric Kee, a ph.D student in computer science at Dartmouth, are proposing  a software tool for measuring how much fashion and beauty photos have bekk altered, a 1-to-5 scale that distinguishes the information from the fantastic. this means that they are trying to see how often people get their pictures edit and all the other things that can be changed. i think that this whole thing about adding polish, buffering the pictures, brightness, the size of people is a good and bad thing. its a good thing because i think its a easier way to get around all the problems, people don't have to worry about trying to loose weight, they can just get their size reduced in their pictures. its a bad thing also because people are not committing to what they want to do. if your a model you should have a model type body. i think it shouldn't be allowed. also, this is something that i think is going to be around a lot longer. i say this because this is something that is useful for a lot of famous people now days, and the people who actually creates this gets paid a lot of money for it.
