Pro: Required sonograms before abortion

Published Feb 23, 2011

The third time's the charm, or at least, it may be for Texas Senate Bill 16.

The Texas Senate finally approved the bill Thursday. The bill was passed by the senate in 2007 and 2009 but died in the House. The bill would require a doctor to perform an ultrasound on women before they have an abortion, and the doctor would have to describe the images and explain the progress of the fetus' organs and limbs. The ultrasound would not be required if the reason for the abortion was for incest, rape or fetal abnormalities.

Con: Required sonograms before abortion

Published Feb 23, 2011

The never-ending cycle of the age-old abortion debate was pushed into one more circle of argumentation last Thursday when the Texas Senate passed a bill requiring women undergoing an abortion to get an ultrasound.

The measure, if passed, will force women to submit to an ultrasound and then "...to listen to an explanation of the images, except in cases of rape or incest or if there are fetal abnormalities," according to a Reuters article last Thursday.

Mavs need defense to go deep in playoffs

Published Feb 22, 2011

There are a lot of reasons to believe that the Dallas Mavericks are NBA contenders.

The offense is completely operating with no hiccups. In the past month, the Mavericks have scored fewer than 100 points only twice. Over the course of those 30 days, Dallas has averaged 104 points a game and has gone 13-1.

With the career resurgence of Peja Stojakovic and the reappearance of Rodrigue Beaubois, the Mavericks' offense is only getting stronger as they move down the stretch. Dirk Nowitzki continues to put up MVP-like numbers, and the Dallas bench is exceptionally deep.

Guns on campus are dangerous

Published Feb 22, 2011

A bill in the Texas House would allow students with a concealed carry license to carry guns on public college campuses.

While gun carriers must be 21 or older and undergo training on the proper handling of a gun, allowing students carrying concealed handguns to wander public campuses is a dangerous idea.

Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Don Mills said he didn't support the bill because it could create confusion for police reacting to a violent situation.
