Oh Mean Rachel, you are certainly a crass lady. OK well, not really. In her most recent blog entry post titled What a Rick Perry Presidency Would Look Like for Women the title is something that is eye catching to someone who just might pass by her blog. If your a Woman that is, I was pretty intrigued myself. By actually reading one of Rachels blog posts, this certainly isn't "mean" persay, as the actual blog is called "Mean Rachel". It seems as though she was stating ugly truth. Like people say, " The truth hurts". However, some of it I can disagree along certain lines of what she is explaining. I have a little different view on the subject at hand.
So pretty much, to sum things up with her blog post, Rachel talks about how Governor Rick Perry has all these laws directed straight to women about abortion topics, shots, and so on and so forth. Like for instance, one she talks about DIC, and goes on to state that the state of Texas has the third highest teen birth rate in the country (eesh). Going further, Rick Perry wants all these plans to protect young women from having a baby at such an early age. With the whole abstinence topic, apparently Perry wants something to pass about this. Which there is one already that will take place pretty soon. During one of our mornings a student (in the class) brought up the subject about how women, during a certain week, will have a choice to look at the ultra sound and hear the heartbeat of the baby. However this is pushing the boundries a little to far, coming to the fact that it may abuse the first amendment. Whatever the case, I feel the whole abortion thing to be such a very fragile subject to even further discuss.
Even when Rick Perry passed the law having women my age, and urge them to get the HPV shot to protect girls. Which I totally agree with that. Whatever the case I do see Rachel's point about the whole topic, but is Perry really trying to single out women in our state? I mean it seems like its the case, but I don't blame him in some aspects. Heck, were the third state that has the highest teen birth rate. Thats just an embarrassment if you ask me. I mean there are some ways to try to prevent the high pregnancy rate in Texas, and it might go down a little if those things are put into action. It really all depends.
