I Totally Agree!!

I just got finished reading Ms. Maggie's blog on this very interesting thing the Legislature did last Tuesday. Supposedly the legislature was full of guests as they were trying to get through four very important issues that are concerning the public a lot right now: abortion, immigration, human cloning and states rights.

I totally agree with Ms. Maggie in that when issues like this are presented, the legislature should give equal time and equal attention to these. I agree with Maggie in that every one of these issues require full attention and should be given its own time to be discussed.

I just think there are things that have to be really thought and really understood before making a decision, and I don't see how they can do this successfully when they have not only one, but four of the major issues concerning Texas citizens being discussed in the same day.

Ms. Maggie presented her ideas very well and very clearly, and I have to say I agree with her in every point she made. Most importantly I agree with her in that the legislature should spend the necessary time in these issues and should give them the proper respect they deserve!

Is this right or wrong???

I was reading this article about abortion in the Austin American Statesman......I just don't agree in having the government intervene in our lives like this! I think there are lines that the government should just not cross.
I think having an abortion is a very tough decision to make, and having a law requiring to not only have an ultrasound but to hear the baby's hart beat , Ohh! that would be cruel for the woman. Luckily this bill has been modified, and if it passed, it would give woman the choice to decide if she wants ultrasound or not.
Senator Dan Patrick said "My goal was to be sure that a woman going in for an abortion has all the information she needs to make the right decision" to which Dr. Scott Spear, medical director for Planned Parenthood said that all woman having an abortion there get an ultrosound and are offered the chance to see the image.... So why the need for this bill.....The government should just live it alone and let whoever wants to have an abortion do so.
I mean I'm not saying I'm totally up for abortion, but many of this kids end up as orphans or as childs mistreated by their parents....
So government, please step out and let us have the choice!!!!
