I have read an opinion about the recent
Texas abortion bill, HB 2, by The Dailey Texan that didn't disclose the name of
the author. The Dailey Texan took a con-position about HB 2. Introducing the
bill before any further discussion, this bill would supposedly improve the
standards of the abortion clinic to the standards of ambulatory surgical
hospitals. The bill will also criminalize abortion of fetus that is over 20
weeks old with exceptions of inevitable circumstances that threatens the life
of the mother. The Dailey Texan say that people are angry about women's right
to abort babies, but more importantly, the right to women's health care. They
argue that this bill would eventually drive up the cost of women's health care
on individuals. They also went on to half jokingly suggest that women might use
a hanger to perform barbaric abortion. They were also mad about the comments
made by certain Republican law makers during the voting. Singling out Senator
Dan Patrick, they have called his comments, "confusing'' and
"insulting to women." They have made a position that supports the
amendment that saves 20 week old babies, but they were rather enraged by the
fact that the bill would limit the availabilities for Texas women to get
abortion in Texas to five clinics across this vast state according to the study
done by Planned Parenthood. They have called the lawmakers, especially
Republicans who supported this bill, "willfully ignorant." I was very
surprised by this opinion that is very similar to mine. Just like many people
in America as well as Texas, I'm a swinger. I do like certain provisions about
the bill but absolutely despise certain amendments as well. I'm 130 percent
with The Dailey Texan about saving the 20 week old babies. When the babies are
20 weeks old, if anyone has seen the completeness of the human form that the
baby bears, nobody would ever argue about the mother's rights unless the baby
would pose a threat to the mother's life. Besides, perhaps the argument that
the woman didn't know about her pregnancy during those 20 weeks will fade away
during those 20 weeks. Any women will know there is something wrong with her
body if her period stopped for 20 weeks and her belly starts to get bigger.
This is exactly the place to tell her that her procrastination will not work in
this situation. I was very disappointed by the sort of ignorant decision made
by the lawmakers that will supposedly improve the standards of abortion to
those of St.Davids. I unfortunately didn't read the bill to be enlightened
about the level of standards that the lawmakers are expecting, but I can guess
this; you don't need a million dollar equipment to trim your nails. It may
sound little bit too much, but this is what I can guess about the current
situation. As it seems, Plan Parenthood has estimated that only five clinics in
Texas have the financial ability to meet the standards that the lawmakers are
expecting. I really hope that Rick Perry sends back the bill to the House floor
to re-discuss about the amendment that would close down many abortion clinics
so that many women who are making the hard decision to get the best operation
that they deserve.
