FOCA

I have read the proposed bill on a Federal web site that I can not find now, go figure, I should have written it down for anyone who wants to see it. I received an e-mail stating many heinous acts this Freedom of Choice Act would allow, and chose to remove those that were not 100 % accurate, or not provided for in the amendment. Remaining are those portions that are true according to the bill. I have also verified Obama's stance and support of this bill and included a link to a petition site. The video they show on the site is not the full interview, but the full 23 minute interview can be found on utube. I got bored. Anyway, this is a huge deal and I would encourage you, if you feel so inclined, to research and petition this amendment yourself. I typed in "Freedom of Choice Act Amendment" or just "FOCA" and was able to get a great deal of information. I do not believe any of it is gospel truth, but I was able to research what both sides are saying and come to my own conclusion based on contradictions and the one government site I did find. Basically it does provide even partial birth abortion (where a full term baby is anesthetized and taken apart and delivered) if a doctor says it is necessary, as well as any abortion in the first 6 months without restriction. It also makes it possible for a physician refusing to perform any abortion provided for in the amendment to be sued and even lose his or her license. The following is the portion of the e-mail I have researched and proven to be accurate myself. Removed are the portions that were lies or partial truths (i.e. a child with a clubbed foot would be left to die in a corner of the hospital). I do not wish to offend any one and hope I do not, but I also do not want this to go unchecked or unopposed. Instead, if you agree with the petition to oppose this amendment, I have included one site, but there are many to chose from, feel free to find your own.


As most of you know Obama made a public announcement that he is going to sign the Freedom Of Choice Act, which will allow all types of abortions including partial birth abortions (third trimester abortion on a viable fetus that would otherwise survive). This Bill may also make it mandatory for doctors and nurses to perform this murderous act even if they do not want to do so.
Catholic Bishops have pleaded with Obama not to go ahead with this horrible murder of innocent babies. They have also told Obama that if he persists in signing this Bill which would require even Catholic Hospitals to perform these acts of murder, they will have no choice but to close all Catholic Hospitals. (this is a partial truth, they will not have to close as long as no one sues them to the point they can no longer stay opened.) Please let us join with these courageous Bishops who will go to any length to change Obama's mind. Please take a minute to sign this statement and let our voices be heard.
Please let your family and friends know about this Bill and ask them to also sign this petition. Even those who voted for Obama would not want him to sign this Bill if they knew the extent of it.

Kids vs Dogs

One of my friends posted a bunch of reasons dogs are better than kids. Dogs can be alot of fun, and yes, it is legal to leave them home all day locked in a bathroom, but seriously. I don't even think that should be legal! And if you need to lock your dog in a bathroom all day, what is the point? So here is my argument for why kids are better than dogs. And it is finally in list form becaue I figured out what I did wrong!!


1) Although poopy diapers are yucky and poopy pants worse, they sure have cute hineys and you just don't see the excitement a kid exhibits at doing it "by myself!" in a "big potty!" Oh, and my kids use toilet paper. Dogs lick themselves...then they lick your face. NASTY!

2) Dogs don't give cookie and frosting kisses. Yummy!

3) Dog breath stinks, no way around it. At least you can get a kid to brush his teeth! When you do brush a dogs teeth it is with lamb, beef, or some other flavor that still smells.

4) While kid poop can be pretty rank, dog poop ALWAYS reeks! And you can't just flush it, your neighbors get to smell it, too. And if you don't clean it up everyday, they get to smell it alot. Be thankful kids don't poop in the back yard. Even little dog poop smells.

5) My kids slobber doesn't smear the car window after they have hung their heads out at 35 mph, and dry before it crusts. It does often end up on brothers resulting in a fist fight...OK, dogs win there.

6) Dogs don't put their arms around you and ask if you are OK, then try to make it better.

7) I don't care who else does, I will NOT share my ice cream with a dog, or let him lick off my peanut butter spoon. Heck, I send them out side for looking at me when I eat. SO not OK. That's like a dog eating up to the table with us.

8) Still can't stand dog kisses. At least if my kid stinks I can still get one on the cheek.

9) There is a reason people say "Eeeewww! It smells like wet dog!" No one likes that smell, not even dog owners can stand it. Thus groomers and soaked bathrooms. Which, by the way I make my kids wipe up after themselves. No dog will ever bathe in my house. That smells worse.

10) There is no way to explain this to people who don't have kids. A kid can be a serious challenge, they even run away sometimes (like dogs), but there is no comparison. Not when you hold them, not when they bring home hand prints and homemade Christmas ornaments. And especially not years later when they come home for dinner with their own babies. Puppies are cute, but nothing compares to posterity and a new life. And kids live longer!

Oh, and dogs have the mentality of a 4 year old...permanently.

So, to all dog lovers out there: give Fido a scratch behind the ears and a tummy rub for me. Then please pick up his public poops. Parks were built for kids, and so was my front lawn, so Fido beware!
