Response On Abortion

In one of my colleague’s article from her blog titled Texas in My Eyes, she brought up the subject about abortion in Texas. She discussed about House Bill 2 that was passed on October 29^th. Which “requires doctors who perform abortion surgery have hospital admitting privilege within 30 miles of the facility.” I agree with Lysa’s view on abortion. Personally, I highly disagree abortion in general. If you think about it, it’s the equivalent of murder. But I do believe that women have the right to do what they want with their body so it is a good thing that the option of abortion is still available in various locations around Texas. The fact that the available places to get an abortion are spread throughout the state makes it difficult for women who do not live in that specific city. All in all I agree with everything Lysa is saying when she makes the statement that “they should just leave the House Bill 2 it’s not making abortion illegal it is making it safer.” Not every woman should be qualified for an abortion. So it is a good thing there are numerous requirements in order to receive one.

Texas Should Allow Charter Schools To Impliment Religion If They Want To

There have been ongoing stories and issues being brought up in the state of Texas about religion in charter schools. A recent story about a school called the Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy, deals with religion and financial issues. This charter school, located in San Antonio, mainly is surrounded and is based on Jewish and Israeli culture. It opened in August and is the first Texas charter the offers Hebrew. School officials make the claim that their classes are in fact aligned with the state curriculum. Last year the academy was a private Jewish day school, using no public funding. Now, as a charter school, they receive public funding. This is not the only school that has done this. When schools take upon this action, they tend to draw attention as a potential problem to the state. New charter schools are simply a reincarnation of a previous existing school. Critics worry that religious schools are changing their names in order to obtain public money. Giving a school a name change (from insert church school, to charter school) and perhaps even a change in location has been an ongoing trend. Why? It is a tactic used to receive public funding. But of course most churches do this in order to help spread and preserve their religious culture. In order to get other people to have a better understanding of their own culture and religious beliefs they need to make the big switch to charter schools. But without the public funding they could lose diversity, which would defeat the whole purpose of spreading their culture.
