http://rhrealitycheck.org/article/2014/10/27/cincinnati-may-lose-sole-abortion-clinic/
In the Cincinnati area, one of the only abortion clinics, that serve an estimated 2.1 million people, was cited by the Ohio Department of Health for not writing a transfer agreement with a local private hospital. Clinic officials stated that they had agreed on an exemption more than a year ago, but never heard back from the state. This event was published on October 27th, which means that this event was very recent- most likely within the past few days to a week.
Soon enough, Cincinnati will become one of the largest areas in the country without an abortion provider. Because Republic Governer John Kasich wants to restrict abortion rights across the state, this causes a problem for the 2.1 million people that depend on the abortion clinic. If the women cannot obtain their needed services, that will raise many questions across the city. In my opinion, I women should have the right of whether or not they want an abortion, and what is happening in this situation is violating that right. Taking away this program would cause anger to the ones that are looking into having an abortion, but also raises the question of whether or not this action is justified.

Current Event: Fifth Amendment
http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/05/opinion/cevallos-quarantine-ebola-liberties/index.html?iref=allsearch
In this article, a man named Thomas Eric Duncan, was quickly "quarantined" on September 8th as a cautionary measure to dissipate the Ebola virus that he was known to be ill with. He came first to the US from Liberia, and is known as the first person to die of the Ebola virus on US grounds.
Now why does this event raise so many questions? This is as a matter of fact, a violation of the fifth amendment. The fifth amendment requires some "due process" before depriving citizens of their liberty. In this case, Duncan's liberty was challenged against the government when they restrained him in solitary. Most people would support the government when they do these measures, but what would happen when "the people" are in the same position as Duncan- being isolated? Will their thoughts change? Secondly, would anyone be willing to suppress the rights of an individual in order to keep them from harming a whole nation? That is the real question. And the answer to that- has the ability to violate the supreme law of the land.
