The "Bad Old Days" are they here again?

And this isn’t just a problem stateside. Here in Canada, we have our own private members Bill C-484: “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (injuring or causing the death of an unborn child while committing an offence)�. What this means in plain speak is that if a pregnant woman is attacked or killed and the fetus also dies, then the person who attacked the woman is on the hook for two attempted homicides. Sounds fair, right? Except that according to current Canadian law a fetus is not a person, and therefore termination of a fetus does not constitute murder. If a fetus were a person then abortion would be murder.

Other stuff:

I am listening to les miserables and trying to work on my thesis proposal (second time around) I have finished the ABSTRACT ! AWESOME !! That's like 150 words or so that I never have to think of again.

This kind of thing makes me feel like such a wiener, (not just the listening to a musical thing) the not having any fun trying to write proposals, I did the same thing last summer. I get so blocked.....
