You Might Be Pregnant Already!

                  "This is getting a little ridiculous." That's the first thing that came to mind when I read about the new Abortion Law passed in Arizona. The new law states that pregnancy can begin two weeks before conception. The new law states that pregnancy can begin two weeks before conception. It's not a mistake, I wrote it twice. I wanted to make sure you read it carefully.

                   Arizona law makers are taking a strong stand against abortion with this one. This is how the two week thing will affect expecting abortionees. Arizona bans all abortions after 20 weeks. Normally it's 20 weeks after conception. That date will now be calculated from the last day of the woman's period instead. What does that really mean? Let's say you found out you were pregnant in March. They can calculate the date of conception. So we'll put that date at March 10th. For whatever reason, you want an abortion. I'll get into the right and wrong of it later. Before this law passed, you had until July 28th to raise the money and get it done. With this law, which doesn't make sense by the way, you will be forced to have the procedure done by the 14th of July. Or possibly sooner, depending on the date of your last menstrual cycle.

                 Now that we have a grasp on the specifics of the law, let's talk about it on street level. First, I'd like to say that I'm Pro-Choice. There is nothing political about it for me. I feel it's up to the woman to decide. The Government shouldn't have anything to say about it. That's just how I feel. If I'm ever put in the situation where an abortion is one of the options I'm facing. I'll leave the decision up to the hooker I banged, I mean lovely significant other I was having unprotected post-marital sex with. Anyway, I'm trying to say that this is a very serious situation. There are a lot of factors in the decision making process for a young woman when it comes to abortions. I don't think they should be pressured by anyone. They need to sit there with a counselor or very close friend and figure it out. I don't agree with abortion when it's used as a contraceptive. If you are willingly sleeping around unprotected, STOP! There are, however, some serious cases where it might be warranted. In summation, it's up to the woman to decide what happens to her body. If she can have the procedure and sleep at night then it doesn't seem to be affecting my life at all. Abortion isn't even the main focus here.

                 I'd like to talk about what makes this law so stupid in the first place. "Pregnancy can begin two weeks before conception." Really? Just reading that makes me think the law makers in Arizona are retarded. They could all go to Texas and be executed with laws like that. If you are not currently menstruating, you're pregnant. That's what they are saying. I'm not even sure what else I can say about it. It sucks because I agree with Arizona's Immigration laws. Now I have to question that. And while I reevaluate my stance on immigration; I'll head over to the La Quinta Inn and get a Hand-job for a Ham Sandwich from one of the, most likely illegal, cleaning ladies. I'll consider it a bonus if she's pregnant.
