The basic thing is this: It's a helluva lotta money, this bond -- but only a teensy bit of it goes to de-car-ing efforts. Those who are for argue that at least public transport gets some money (much needed, of course); those against, like me, feel that that teensy bit's outweighed by the huge amount of money that'll go to building freeways. Here's LA Weekly's take: "Love freeways? You'll see more of them in California if Proposition 1B passes. In L.A. County, the MTA will be required to earmark at least $1 billion of the bond proceeds for rail. After that, all bets are off."

I am not going to get into that arguement because I haven't made my mind up on the issue. It is just to delicate and both sides do very much have good points. Also the point to debate on the issue. Is when does life start. Everything else is mute really. If the foetus is a life then no body has a right to stop that life if it is not a life then it is part of the womens body and she can do what she wants. Once it is a life it is a seperate body. (I find it very funny and highly ironic that most pro-lifers in america are pro-death penalty) My point really was what ever the reasons for or against abortion enviromental pressures is certainly not one of them. By the way just incase you wondering. Abortion is illegal in Ireland but your doctor can refer you to an English clinic. (it is cheaper to fly to london then get a train to Dublin from where I live) 12 year old girls can get the morning after pill and the pill without parental consent. ok my point was not really on the rights or wrongs of abortion.
