Finally! Women in uniform get a little something...

So there has always been this controversy over the whole abortion issue, even more in the military. According to an editorial in The New York Times, the Pentagon began to make the morning-after emergency contraception pill available at military bases around the world. I think that this decision is well overdue, especially since the war has started. While Bush was still in office, they blocked a similar recommendation because all those Pro-life people think of this pill as a form of abortion. I personally am Pro-choice and do not think that this pill is a form of abortion. I agree with the author of this editorial when they say, "It is outrageous that politics is allowed to interfere with the health care decisions of women who wear the nation's uniform." I think that all these politicians need to stay out of the lives of the women who serve in the military. While most of the politicians are off receiving fellatio from a hooker in a hotel room, there are some women overseas serving their country and getting raped and knocked up while they're at it. Yes, currently the women are allowed to receive abortions in these cases and some others, but the women must pay for it and an abortion is not cheap. Not to mention the gossip that may get started. The decision to get an abortion is hard enough, so they really need other people humiliating them more? So now that the FDA approved the over-the-counter sale of this pill, I think that this is a more discrete and much cheaper way to prevent a pregnancy and an easier decision to live with. Where an abortion aborts the pregnancy, this morning-after pill, same as birth control, PREVENTS pregnancy and along with the author, I agree with this decision to be made.

Who's to blame for the economy? Bush or Obama?

So who is to blame for the way things are going for the U.S. economy now? I honestly couldn't tell you but according to a few surveys that were in an article on CNN's website, people are leaning towards George W. Bush. Now I am no expert in government and/or politics by any means, but I do believe the economy was crashing while he (Bush) was still in office. I am not a fan of either president, nor do I not, not like them. I am just simply stating what I see from my view and that is that, yea, Bush got us into a bit of a pickle but Obama being the new president, should be there to clean up the mess somewhat and get to that "Change" he was pressing so hard for during his campaign, not run us in the ground by bailing out all these banks and whatnot. That's a story for another day. I just need to get educated on it a bit more before I start rambling. I think this article is worth reading because it kind of gives you an idea of where people kind of stand. The comment section is rather more interesting than the article itself because you can see the difference of opinions from one person to the next. To me, that is interesting and quite funny as well. Enjoy.
