Some Laws which Indians commonly violate everyday Knowingly or Unknowingly

Image
Law is the fundamental way in which a nation-state survives. But often some of these laws are ignored both by those who implement these laws and those who are bound to follow them. They are as follows: Walking and crossing the railway tracks This is something that is pretty common across railway lines across India. Whether it be crossing at the railway stations or walking on tracks outside the stations as well. But as expected, trespassing on railway property is a punishable offence under Section 147 of the Railways Act, 1989.  Building bridges and escalators while completely ignoring the basic movement of people is to be blamed here. Similarly, entering railway platforms without a ticket is not allowed.

The Never Ending Debate on Abortion

Image
Ever since the Roe vs Wade landmark judgement was overturned by the SCOTUS on June 24, the entire world has been talking about abortions. Although most people think they get this issue right, they are wrong as a lot of misinformation and misconceptions are spread on the issue. At the same time, people of both the extreme sides of this issue are head on the head thus giving rise to extreme positions and ignoring other factors thus making the "debate" on "abortion" never-ending or something which will never have a concrete solution.  I look into two big sets of people, and their arguments, look into their flaws and explain why this debate will continue.  Pro-Life  This argument stands roots in Christian theology which adopts its arguments from Bible. Although in general with respect to abortion most religions are anti-abortion. Pro-lifers believe that each and every life is valued, which includes unborn babies and foetus.
