I'm going to go on a rant today, with the headline news of Bush
signing the partial-birth aborition ban, a move that I HIGHLY agree with and am happy that it finally was signed into
law. Even though I am very strongly pro-life, I can at least understand why some people would not object to an early term
abortion. But with partial-birth abortion, there is no way that a sane person can say "Yes, I think it is perfectly ok for an
innocent child to be murdered only inches away from being born." Do these people who are against this bill not relieze that
partial birth abortion kills the exact same babies that doctors try to save everyday when they come out prematurely? Some also
argue that it shouldn't have been passed since there is no allowence for the life of the mother. But there has never been a case
where a partial birth abortion has been performed where it has been medically necassary, and there have been abortion doctor's quoted as saying they would use that hole to perform abortion since technically all mother's are at risk when they're pregnant. So this bill would close that kind of loophole.
And on a related note, I really hate how abortion is put as a "woman's right" issue. It's not woman's right issue, it's human's right issue. Women can have all the abortion procedures they want while they're not pregnant, they can feel free do whatever they want with their body. This law is not about their body at all. It's about the innocent child inside of them. That's what these kinds of laws are protecting, and that's why it's not a law against the woman's body, it's a law for the child's body. I also don't like how it's turned into a religion issue, when it's really not one. You don't have to subscribe to a particular religion to believe that human life is sacred.
The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter ride at the Magic Kingdom is no more. It's been closed to make way for a new Stich attraction. I always liked that ride, it was fun to hear the people scream, as the first time it is pretty freaky.
This weekend is homecoming, so we have a 3 day weekend, and then Tuesday is off to for Veterns day. Sugar Ray is headlining at this years Gator Growl, which if you go to UF, don't ever pre-order your tickets. It just creates far more hassle than it should.
