Texas Drama

A judge issued a temporary restraining order to prevent the abortion while the case is ongoing.
The 16-year-old, who is identified only by the initials R.E.K., claims in the lawsuit her parents are Forcing her to abort her 9-week-old fetus through both verbal and physical threats and harassment. Her father stated he was going to take her to have an abortion and that the decision was his, end of story.

 The lawsuit claims R.E.K.'s parents kept her home from school, took her phone and car and that she, the father of her child and the child's paternal grandmother have been harassed by her father. It also claims R.E.K.'s mother suggested she was going to slip her daughter the abortion pill.

R.E.K is being represented by attorney for the Texas Center for Defense of Life. Under Roe v. Wade a woman has a right to decide whether she wants an abortion and under Bellotti v. Baird a teenager has the right to make her own decisions concerning her reproductive health.

It makes a difference

Babies born by C-section had a different set of microbes in their digestive tracts than those born vaginally, and that infants who were breast-fed had a different type of bacteria in their guts than those who were given formula. Previous studies have linked cesarean delivery to a higher risk of asthma, diabetes and obesity, but the reason wasn't clear.

During vaginal delivery, for example, babies are baptized to the world of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens as they pass through the birth canal; birth is, in a sense, their first immunization against the bugs they are likely to encounter in their new environment as their still developing immune systems get to work taking stock of the microbes. Babies pick up the microbial content of their mother's gut.

Over time, the babies' immune systems start to distinguish between friend and foe in the microbial world, and launch attacks on potentially harmful bugs while leaving beneficial ones, like those that live in the gut, alone.

Cesarean section, however, bypasses this immunizing opportunity, and may leave newborns more vulnerable to certain infections since their immune systems are still catching up. In the study, infants born by C-section had fewer colonies of Escherichia and Shigella bacteria than those born vaginally.

UPDATE: WTF?

Apprently, the "nine" year old girl who gave birth a couple weeks ago in Mexico, is actually about 12/13. Oh, and, the father, is actually her STEP-FATHER. Not some 17 year old boy she met at a party. Like, WTF! Paternity test had proven that the father is her step dad, and now he is under arrest. And now, they giving her birth control!? SHE IS TWEVLE people, not  16! As I was reading some comments, one of them was saying how they gave her birth control because they knew she would get touched again by her creep of a step father.

Obama's STU: Gun Control

I personally think that President Obama won’t be able to pass the gun control bill. Guns have been a huge part of this country and it’s written, in our Constitution that we have “The right to bear arms”. With that, we are legally allowed to have guns. Yes, I think there should be a law saying how we can’t have certain types of guns, and how they should have crazy-checks going on before people get guns, but people are still going to get them. Whether it’s from gun shows, another country, or your neighbor, people are still going to find a way to get what they want, whether or not they are following the law.

There are going to be thousands and thousands of articles going on and on about Obama and his gun control. There is also going to be a whole bunch of blogs our there that are either for or against Obama and what he wants to do. There are millions fo ad's out there that are all about Obama getting rid of guns. No matter what happens, people are still going to have guns. And besides, "guns don't kill people, People kill people."

Obama's STU: Military

The military was mentions numerous of times in President Obama’s State of the Union Speech. He mainly focused on the military by stating how he was bringing home our troops and how we are basically going to have the best military ever. Obama stated that we have already brought home 33,000 of our troops and that we are going to be bringing home another 34,000 troops, just from Afghanistan. He said that by the end of next year that the war in Afghanistan is going to be over.

I think Obama mentioned this in his speech because it is such a big deal. I mean, our military is the best in the world and it’s going to stay the best. Mentioning that the war in Afghanistan is going to be over by the end of next year is huge! He was being very factorial by giving such good numbers and hopefully an accurate timeline. He needed to prove his point to the Congress, and the world, that he is doing the right thing and that no matter what, we are always the best.

That's a big croc.

LoLong, a 20 foot long, 2370 pound saltwater crocodile has died. He was a captive crocodile since September 2011, in a crocodile park in the Philippines. The reason he was captured was because was accused of eating a little girl in 2009, and a man also disapearing. He holds a record in the Guiness Book Of World Records, and the worlds longest crocdile. He will be missed, they say. They are planning on preserving his skin, and stuffing him, as a reminder to their people.

WTF?

A nine year old girl gave birth in Mexico. The father is about 16/17 years old. A good 7/8 year old difference. The only details they have released is that mother and baby are doing fine, and that their out searching for the father.

This is just all wrong. Way way way wrong. a NINE year old girl? like WTF. and it's like a 16/17 year old boy who is the father? CHILD MOLESTER ALERT. They need to find this guy fast. The fact that he is on the run is sketchy. The fact that he isn't even, like, turning himself in is horrible. Once again, this is a NINE year old girl. She is suppose to be playing with barbies still, not buying barbies for her child. In the article thuogh, it never said if she was raped/molested, or if it was consentual. This whole thing is just super disturbing and it grosses me out severly. Like, even if i am a young mom, I would never ever want my son in this position, or my daughter in this position. I am glad though that the authorites are involved and are trying to catch this evil twisted guy.
