Critique of The Worlds Most Uninteresting Man

I find this post really interesting as when I heard the news of Osama's death the naive little English girl came out in me as I asked "does that mean that the war is over??". Now upon review and various taunts from many people do I realize that this War on Terror has escalated way past this one man. That being said I feel as though Mr. Snow was completely correct in saying that our thoughts and prayers should still be 100% with those still fighting over seas both from the US and UK. I truly hope that no bitter retaliation will occur because of this and also that we never forget the reason why this saga started in the first place.

Anti - Sonogram Bill.


So i guess the Abortion Sonogram Bill is THAT much closer to getting passed. This does not please the liberal London girl in me at all. It is and will always be my firm belief that anything to do with a woman and her baby is to do with her and her only. No one should have the power to dictate what someone does with their body whether it is a pregnant woman or a man getting a chin implant. 
The main reason why I am so adamantly against this abortion bill is the fact that i feel as though the government is downplaying what a huge decision terminating a pregnancy would be for a woman. In my opinion the government big wigs are making it seem as though women get abortions every day to avoid using a condom or some kind of birth control... Now i am not naive enough to think that no women out there do that, because I am sure that some do, but these people are in the vast minority. When a woman gets pregnant she gets somewhat attached to that baby whether she wants to or not. 
I have recently watched this happen with my best friend while she was going through her pregnancy. Every day she became more attached to that baby and became more of a motherly nurturing person; however, before she took that fateful pregnancy test, she was absolutely adamant that she would never have kids... ever. This just proved to me that anyone could become a mother while they are pregnant and just backed up my theory that choosing to have an abortion is a huge, life changing decision for any woman (with some exceptions obviously). That being said i am firmly against any government mandated bill that would make that decision any more traumatic and difficult for the woman.
