Preparing for the Repeal of the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy

Military told the House committee that plans to ban the don't ask don't tell policy are going better than planned. Military forces do not seem to be too concerned about the repeal. Gen. James Amos, the US Marine Corps commandant asked combat forces what their stance was on the repeal of the policy and the majority of the men were focused more on their enemy rather than the policy as opposed to his survey last year where 60% of the military forces expressed concerns. The same results were taken from the Army troops. There is still a long way to go. Chiarelli and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz expressed that it will take time for the training and preparations to implement the repeal. The policy can only be implemented if President Barack Obama, the defense secretary, and the chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff feel that this will not deplete the power of our military. Once certified, it will take 60 days to be implemented. However, several leaders feel that the troops are not ready for this kind of change and need more time to figure out if this will have a negative impact on the military.

Arizona's New Abortion Law

Arizona has become the first state in the United States to make abortion illegal for doctors to do based on the sex and race of the fetus. Some say that this is a rediculous law because there is not proof that this these abortions are even occurring. Abortion is legal and this law only adds to the senstive topic that is still highly debated by some whether or not it should be legal at all. "We can all agree that the idea of having "sex-based or race-based abortions is bad," says Jeanne Sager at The Stir. Sager feels politicians are trying to police womens thoughts which can't be done in a free country. This law came about because some believe that parents are getting abortions once they find out the sex if the baby and especially if it is a girl. I am not sure if this is occurring or not. Evidence is still unclear because I am sure many girls do not reveal the real reason they are interested in abortion. But I am very conservative when it comes to abortion and feel that it should not be permitted. There are other options like adoption. The unexpected life is still a life no matter what sex or race.
