Persuasive Essay On Human Rights

Ted Cruz loathes human rights. At least, according to the left, he does. He’s anti-choice; he’s anti-marriage equality, meaning for many he’s anti-electable. Whether or not these institutions exist as rights remains hotly contested not merely in our domestic politics but in global politics as well. Just recently, the United Nations affirmed abortion as a human right. However, it remains unclear if this affirmation is unique to pregnancies of children with birth defects or whether it expands to all pregnancies. Contrastingly, the United Nations left no similar grey area when it comes to open access to the Internet.

For a man who promises fidelity to the Freedom of Speech, Ted Cruz appears to enjoy making it difficult for some to talk. In conclusion, the Internet has become the air of social progress. For instance, people utilize chat rooms to organize and they employ forums to communicate. Movements like ‘Black Lives Matter’ would perish, because how could a minority making an average of 40% less per person afford to access online videos? Videos like that of an officer choking Eric Garner until he died. An absence of net neutrality would similarly suffocate our rights and perpetuate social
