Will 2016 be Terminated?


Okay, we all know that soon after elections that speculation begins for the next president. We are, as a nation, always looking for the next person to take the stressful ‘throne’ that is the oval office. However, this upcoming 2016 elections may be one of the most controversial conversations, we as a nation will have. I say this because right now there is a lot of talk concerning Arnold Schwarzenegger , mostly by him, running for President in 2016. The Huffington Post article reveals that he is lobbying for a spot to run for President in 2016, upon the congressional approval of changing Article II Section I that only gives the right to run for President to natural born citizens. Now, I know that our Constitution is old, but it has lasted more than two hundred years, so I completely disapprove of the amending of the section. I cannot even begin to fathom the idea of an immigrant being sworn in as President.  It is reserved for the persons born on this soil. It is an office that only someone who was born into a government such as ours can manage. We are a Republic; we elect the officials that represent us, but our President is our worldly face. How would it make us look if we amended that part of the constitution and any immigrant could come to our country, with an agenda of his or her own, and be president. What would that mean for our nation?  To me, our Constitution is sacred; I mean you wouldn’t want Congress to just amend any anything they wanted within the document right? If that were the case, what would stop them from completing changing the whole thing or eliminating one branch or another, which would inevitably cause chaos.  Also, lets look at from this perspective; say they change what is written by our founding fathers, and the Terminator runs for President. Other than popularity from movies, what qualities does he posses that would be beneficial to our country? He would be an embarrassment. His dirty laundry was flashed all over the news in the last year. Electing him would be like reelecting Bill Clinton, except this time we already know about his indiscretions, oh and his child! I know that no man is perfect, but we should not elect someone that would be an embarrassment because the person, who holds the office of President, to the world, is America. So, I say No to the altering of the Constitution and No to Conan! What about you?

Are you kidding me?


California has decided that more than physicians should provide abortions. They have implemented legislation that gives Nurse practitioners, midwives, and physician assistants the ability to provide aspiration abortions to women who wish to undergo the procedure. They claim that the complication rates do not waiver between actual Medical doctors and those who are non Medical Doctors.  This not a post emphasizing my personal views on the matter, and I am asking any who comment to maintain their personal views, but how is this safe for young women? They are claiming that they are thinking of the reproductive and physical health of Californian women, but how can this truly be? To me, a non MD may have the ability to write certain prescriptions under a doctor’s supervision, but this does not show that they are competent enough to handle a surgical procedure. I actually could find more understanding if the document only allowed a PA to do the procedure. These individuals are closer to a doctor than a Nurse Practitioner or Midwife.
Reading the article reminded me of the stories I have always heard of women getting their ‘underground’ abortion with a coat hanger in the alley. Anyone remember Dirty Dancing when the his first dance partner, Penny had to seek medical attention because the ‘abortionist’ butchered her insides?? In my opinion this is an irresponsible move by the Californian government. A number of issues could occur that could cause serious complications like severe blood loss that could lead to death.  I just think that this could lead to other ridiculous legislation that would allow unqualified individuals to do other procedures, like Cesarean Sections or hysterectomies. Allowing these people to perform a procedure meant for a real doctor is insane and will more than likely cause more issues than it helps.  I was more than open to a midwife vaginally delivering my baby, but when it came to me having a C-Section, I was glad that a Doctor is the only one allowed to mess with my insides. I believe a procedure like abortion should b performed by qualified hands ONLY! What say you? Would you feel comfortable allowing someone who was not a doctor to perform an intimate procedure like abortion?
