I was looking for a "current events" thread on here, but I didn't find one. Jox said I could start my own, so here it is. The first current event I also posted on the Everything Including the Kitchen Sink thread. BUT it is so awesome that I didn't think anyone would mind me posting it twice. I'm guessing everyone has heard about this, but in case you haven't. Washington D.C. Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage.

Why is it that so many current events recently seem to make me want to pull my hair out or shoot somebody? When Ellie hears about this one, she will go aggro on someone. She doesn't, and never will, live in Utah, but this is just... wrong. On so many levels. Utah Has Now Made Miscarriage A Criminal OffenseSeriously? So many headlines lately make me sick. As if miscarriage is a choice. These people need a slap in the face and a boot to the head. With steel-toed boots. WTF?

I read the Lindsay Lohan lawsuit thing a couple of days ago, and just shook my head the whole time reading. And then just when you think things can't get more ridiculous....
Utah comes up with "Criminal Miscarriage".
The law is to make "intentional miscarriages" a felony. Although, as I understand it, there is a lot of concern about how some of the wording could be interpreted in court. It states that 'criminal miscarriage' applies to the "intentional, knowing or reckless act of the woman" resulting in the death of her unborn child.
The idea that reckless conduct resulting in miscarriage can be prosecuted as a felony is a dangerous law. Car accidents, living with an abusive spouse, shoot, who knows what else can all be considered reasons to prosecute should she miscarry, and can send a woman to jail as a felon for committing homicide to an unborn child.
The whole idea is just shocking.

The stuff that is going on lately is making me lose faith in my country. Teen Stands Against the School Over Canceled PromLawsuit Filed Over Canceled Prom*shakes head* ...I mean, I'm glad that she's taking a stand against them canceling the prom because she wanted to bring her girlfriend... but the fact that they canceled it in the first place really makes me mad. And I'm not even gay. Well, that I know of.

WHY is there no GOOD stuff to post on this thread lately? Can someone find some? Most of the current events I have found have been negative things happening in this country. Arizona Immigration Law
