Today the Supreme Court upheld as constitutional the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Act of 2003 and its stated purpose to protect “innocent human life from a brutal and inhumane process.” Congressman Bartlett stated, “This is an essential landmark inside the fight to shield the life of unborn children. Eliminating the cruel and unusual punishment of partial-birth abortion is a step inside the correct direction for the United States as a civilized society.”

In 2003, Congressman Bartlett spoke in support of approval with the bill that was challenged by abortion supporters. He said, “Ending partial-birth abortion will reaffirm the principle in our Declaration of Independence that human beings . . . are endowed by their creator using a proper to life.” He also said, “We would never ever tolerate such a brutal form of execution for one of the most heinous criminal. It really is proper to end this approach of killing innocent, unborn children in their mother’s womb.” Regarding today’s decision, Congressman Bartlett added, “It is heartening that the Highest Court in our country has recognized that the ‘government has a legitimate, substantial interest in preserving and promoting fetal life.’”

In this crucial, resounding judicial opinion, Justice Kennedy wrote, “[T]he government may use its voice and its regulatory authority to show its profound respect for the life within the woman.” Justice Kennedy reasoned, “The Act’s ban on abortions involving partial delivery of a living fetus furthers the Government’s objectives. Congress determined that such abortions are similar to the killing of a newborn infant. This Court has confirmed the validity of drawing boundaries to avoid practices that extinguish life and are close to actions that are condemned.”

The Act prohibits “knowingly perform[ing] a partial-birth abortion … which is [not] necessary to save the life of a mother.” It essentially defines, “partial-birth abortion,” as a procedure in which the physician intentionally delivers a living fetus until, inside the case of a head-first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the mother’s body and performs the “overt act,” other than completion of delivery, that kills the unborn baby.

Bipolar Disorders are characterized by depressive episodes and manic, hypomanic, or mixed mood episodes. Manic and hypomanic episodes involve persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood and include symptoms such as decreased need for sleep, grandiosity, increase in goal directed behavior, racing thoughts, etc. Though diagnostic criteria for mania and hypomania are virtually identical, mania involves impairment in social or occupational functioning, hospitalization, and/or psychosis and hypomania does not. Mixed Mood Episodes feature both manic and depressive symptoms. Bipolar Disorders include Bipolar I Disorder, Bipolar II Disorder, Cyclothymia, and Bipolar Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. Bipolar I Disorder is characterized by at least one manic or mixed mood episode and major depressive episodes. Bipolar II is characterized by at least one hypomanic episode and major depressive episodes. Cyclothymia is a more "mild" form of bipolar. Like depressive disorders ("unipolar depression"), bipolar disorders are classified as mood disorders.Psychosis involves losing touch with reality: delusions and/or hallucinations. There are a class of disorders called psychotic disorders that include disorders like Schizophrenia. Psychotic symptoms are not exclusive to psychotic disorders: for example psychotic features may be present in major mood episodes or during times of increased stress with personality disorders, such as schizotypal personality disorder or borderline personality disorder.

It's really very simple.there are so many people who have mental health issues, are in the process / and are going to be mentally ill. there are only a few doctors. so the easiest thing to do, rather then spend months or even years getting to the bottom of there issues and helping them to recovery, they are put on antidepressents. (it is a cheap and quick fix, easier for the doctor not the patient)psychiatrists are used in some cases that are minor and will be quickly and easily resolved. (unless you go private) 4 years ago 1 person rated this as good yes agree with this.

- Chosen by Voters While it doesn't really matter what you do in high school, you should be taking all the lab science (bio, chem, and physics) and math you can. In college, you'll need to major in anything while taking those premed classes, and then med school after that, then 5 years of training to be a psychiatrist. 4 months ago 100% 1 Vote

- Chosen by Voters Bipolar disorder has similar symptoms, but if you did have bipolar you would have been diagnosed and treated for it a long time ago. I say this because its onset is very obvious with children. They simply have trouble functioning and it would not have been overlooked if you did have it. (Unless you fell through some huge crack.)Consider the amount of stress you are feeling now. Stress can do crazy things to us. You do sound troubled by this new emotional state. If it were me in your shoes, I would probably talk to my family doctor to get his opinion and see if he refers me to mental health. Don't over worry yourself and think that you are crazy. Crazy people don't know they are crazy. You obviously notice changes in yourself. You shouldn't wait or be intimidated to get help, because there is no reason for you to suffer and be worried. We have to take care of our bodies and that does include our funny brains. Choose a time to commit to picking up the phone and making an appointment. That is always the hardest step for me, but totally worth it. You deserve to feel like yourself. Feel better soon. 3 years ago 67% 2 Votes
