Abortion and You (and also the Nebraska government)

Abortion, this is such a controversial topic, but interesting none the less. There really are two sides the the “human rights” part of the issues, the human that is carrying the human, and the soon-to-be human. The state of Nebraska has just passed two laws which I think are absolutely ludicrous, but I’ll let you have your own opinion. 

     The first law which Republican Governor Dave Heineman signed into law on Tuesday, requires doctors to screen women before they have abortions, to make sure they’re not being “pressured” into doing so, as well as to make sure they will not have any physical or mental problems after the abortion. Can you say crazy? And the second bill Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would ban abortions after 20 weeks, citing that after that point, fetuses can feel pain.  What I don’t get is that before the bills was passed, Nebraska was one of a handful of states that still permitted late-term abortions without any restrictions, and they have just decided that with the signing of the first one the second one may as well go hand-in-hand. 

     The thing with abortion is it all depends on the situation you’re in, but who is it too say that your situation is ok to bring a child up in? I mean quite frankly i don’t think we should have six year old mums, ever, and I think that is a pretty good (although maybe extreme) example where abortion can get thumbs up! To me abortion is something you get to decided, not the government. That is like letting the government decided what clothes to wear for the day. I think instead of people being so concerned about the people about to come into this world, shouldn’t we look at the kids that are already in a bad situation? And give rights to the people already in this world. Mothers of these babies should get to make these decisions.
