Civil+Rights+Policy

__Civil Rights__ In order for America to be a prosperous nation, all people need to be treated with an equal amount of respect. The United States have made an exemplary amount of progress in providing civil rights for all in the past few decades. However, anyone who suggests that there is no more work to be done for equality in America is sadly mistaken. Civil Rights work in America is not complete, not by a long shot.

In order to make America truly equal, our party proposes this:

__Rights for Homosexual Citizens__
 * Legalize gay marriage in every state.
 * Teach empathy towards homosexual people. If young children learned more about how normal gay marriage is, they would develop fewer harmful stereotypes.
 * Create more television shows and movies featuring homosexual couples. Many people are influenced heavily by what they see in the media. Therefore, promoting programs with gay marriages will change some people's unjust, unfounded biases.

__Racial Profiling__ __Abortions__ __Death Penalty__
 * Destroy any laws enforcing racial profiling against Hispanic immigrants (HB 56, SB 1070). These laws are indescribably cruel towards people of Spanish descent, including Hispanic people who were born in America and immigrants who are rightful citizens.
 * Legalize abortion, but only in the first trimester of pregnancy. Many women who become pregnant are not ready for the responsibilities of parenthood, and those who are raped have no control over pregnancy. These women should have a second option. However, adoption should be a strongly stressed option for those who do not wish to raise a child.
 * The death penalty will be completely abolished, simply because the legal system will never be absolutely sure that a criminal is guilty. Also, sitting in jail for a lifetime seems to be a greater punishment than even death.
