Women, however, were not believed to have all of the rights enshrined in that document and had to struggle to have their rights as citizens recognized. . Although any discussion of human rights includes women by definition, the overall umbrella of ""human rights"" is not always seen as addressing issues specific to the female gender. These issues include child-bearing, sexual abuse and oppressive cultural traditions/laws which prevent women from enjoying the ""human rights"" that men have.

The motto also applies to Muslims as well as Jews, not just to Christians. I don't see how the motto conflicts with separation of Church and State asserting that the State is not atheist. I think the motto should stand--even though many atheists may be irritated by it.

Evolution just states that species can evolve in order to adapt to their environment. Humans have evolved most likely from apes in that their DNA's are very similar and they have some of the same behavioral patterns as us. These would be things like using tools to find their food. While evolution is a scientific theory, it is not what the average use of the term means. Most people say theory about things that haven't been proven yet and there is much doubt. This is NOT the case. A scientific theory can only become fact when there is absolutely everything discovered about it. Gravity is only a scientific theory as well as the theory of relativity. Seeing how gravity is largely believed to be true even as it is a theory it seems ridiculous to condemn evolution as needing proof. Therefore, we can say that evolution is more credible a theory than creationism.",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,TRAIN 2184,3,"Business review: 5.0 stars business name: the keg steakhouse + bar. city: tempe. categories: restaurants, steakhouses, nightlife, seafood, bars:","Had a wonderful experience here!
