Abortion Law Appropriate?

In the article Supreme Court Won't Reinstate Abortion Sonogram Law, the author Emily Ramshaw discusses the feelings towards the newly proposed law that we make the women have a "sonogram and hear a description of the fetus before terminating a pregnancy." The reason for doing this is with the intention of striking an emotional attachment between the mother and the fetus possibly causing her to change her mind.
I believe that abortion is a way of murder and I do like this law; as long as these mothers still have their free will to decide the final outcome of the baby I see no real problem with this. Even though I see it as taking a life, for the good of the child, I feel in particular cases, abortions may be the right choice. If a young girl is raped and had no intention of having a child, I don't see it necessarily selfish or inhuman to get an abortion. If they keep it, that completely alters and probably ruins their life, as well as a lot of embarrassment that comes with it. Who is to say who is allowed an abortion and who isn't though? I feel it should still be a choice of the carrier, but if we have something to give them another perspective on it, I think that should be allowed. I think some of the argument against this law may be that the girls, who are most likely pretty young, or that's what the stereotype is, are already extremely emotional in the position that they are in, and with the feeling of pressure or being judged might push them into making a decision they really do not want or will regret. When it comes down to it, in some cases, families might now even have the money to get an abortion.
I think it may be one of those cases where people might think differently if they were put into the situation. In the end, these soon to be mothers should have the right to decide the final outcome of the baby, however I do like the idea behind this law and fid it clever.

Perry on the Hot Seat

On the blog Mean Rachel a post titled "The Blnd Response" attacks Governor Perry's motives and accuses him of lying and taking the easy way out. This post attempts to call out Governor Rick Perry on is lack of care and effort with the true needs of the people, portaying the image that he sits in his high chair all day long and looks out for only himself, and his campaign rather than whats really the issue. The author is definitely not a Perry supporter and it's clear that this post was intended for an audience who feels the same. Considering most of the points in this post are opinion based and have no quotes or evidence, it would not be difficult for somebody who disagrees with this post to create a counterargument. Although it is easy to agree with a post such as this if you are not in favor of Perry because it is exactly what you want to read or already believe. The author constantly insults Perry's motives, calling them easy saying "What's not easy, and what requires a little more hair gel than quoting passages from Joel, is actual work" however everything the author says is without textual evidence or any quotes, therefore basing it all off his own opinions in the entire post. The logic behind their argument may be understandable and make sense, because who says that Perry truly knows what is going on with the people and that he understands what "work" people are faced with, but thats something we have no proof of. As well as having no evidence to support their argument, the post is extremely brief and does not really go into any detail on the issues it mentions. I don't necessarily disagree with argument the author makes against Governor Perry, however the support and structure of the argument is poor and a weak one.
