Reality is Messy

Reality is Messy

Senate Bill 8 Is currently being debated on the US Senate floor. God Bless Hillary Clinton D-NY!!!
This bill would criminalize an adult who transports a minor across state lines from a state with a Parental Notification Law on the books, into a state that has no Parental Notification in order to obtain an Abortion.
Now this seems like a decent idea.  Why wouldn’t we want to force people to obey the laws of the states in which they live?
Why would we want to make sure that youth are telling their parents about everything they need in want in their lives?

Well Hillary, Thanks for bringing this up. Reality is Messy.  One of the greatest (in fact one of very few things at all) that I heard John Kerry say during the campaign of 2004 was about parental notification laws.
“I am not going to tell a 14 year old girl, that she has to get her fathers permission, the father of the child she is bearing, in order to get an abortion.”

This is the situation we are dealing with. 97% of minors seeking abortions tell their parents according to NARAL. Why don’t those other 3% tell their parents? Well lets think about that.

So I was writing this blog, and listening to the Senate debate this bill hwen a friend of ours form  an office upstairs in our building came by to chat.  He brought me some news, some articles of various magazines and newspapers to check out and some disturbing news which just reemphasized a point I was working toward in this blog.

The Dollar in the US has fallen to the point that 100 dollars buys 51 pounds of British money.  Isn’t that insane? A majority of our treasury bonds are owned by china, a Majority of them are owned by one country, and they aren’t making any money on them. Apparently our Economy depends on them buying our treasury bonds on a daily basis.  Anyone see some problems with this?

And what are we doing? Well three weeks ago we debated Gay Marriage, after a multi-week focus on Immigration, but before we took up Flag Burning.  Now we’re debating abortion and state line crossing, and later we will probably bring up something equally ridiculous and irrelevant to distract Americans.

Why aren’t we outraged? Because we don’t know any better.  

This is just another ridiculous example of the way this country is being run, and why we can’t allow Republicans to continue controlling the agenda…
