I can't believe this bill is passing. It's just not right. This is going to make things so much harder for me and my family. I don't know how we're going to get through this. It's just not fair.

I don't understand why this bill is necessary. Can't they just leave things the way they are? It seems like it's going to cause more problems than it solves.
