How much is too much force?

I agree with the topic posted by Thinking like a Texan. This topic was basically about the extreme police brutality that has been going on, but the case she spoke about in particular was that of the 12 year old female who was slammed into the cement ground. I agree with her argument about there being too much force being used. Because honestly what thirty plus year old man needs to slam a skinny twelve year old female into the ground? None that's what. I had no complaints about this because I'm very biased about this. All these so called "officers" should be ashamed of themselves for committing such heinous crimes and claiming that they were "afraid for their lives." We should be teaching our kids to run to these officers instead we are hoping they never have to encounter them and that is just sad.

Abortion Limits Create Nightmare for Parents of Stillborn Baby

     A couple who went to St. David's North Austin Medical Center was in for a terrible surprise. They were told that Mrs. Mahaffey's cervix had prematurely dilated and that their sons legs were already emerging. This was devastating for them because they had already suffered a miscarriage during an early pregnancy and now they were about to lose their son. The doctors had done everything they possibly could to keep the fetus inside the womb, but nothing was successful. The Mahaffey's wanted to be induced, so that their son can be just be out and would not have to suffer anymore. When they told the doctor's this it was rejected because anti-abortion laws from House Bill two.

     House Bill two is the bill that states there is a ban on abortions at or after twenty weeks of gestation. The law only applies to abortions after twenty weeks when the mothers life is in danger or there is a fetal abnormality. St. David's policy states that it "only allows for terminating a pregnancy to avert death or substantial harm to the mother, or if a fetus is incompatible with life." The Mahaffey's were only seventeen weeks and they had stated  “I think they were afraid because we were so close." St. David's new that the fetus' life would not survive, but because of the House Bill two they were more afraid of what the law would do.  
    
     The Mahaffey's had delivered their still born son after Mrs. Mahaffey began bleeding. The husband stated “The whole thing was an absolute nightmare,” Mahaffey said of the three days they spent crying and waiting. “She could feel him moving around.”

     When it comes to House Bill two many things should be looked over and possibly revised. The fact that this family could not be induced, even though the baby would not live, is ridiculous and outrageous. Texas should consider reconsidering their House Bill two because of families that have to go through this. It has happened more than once and yet nothing has been done. Is Texas deliberately making these families go through this traumatic event? If so, many things need to change far beyond the House Bill two.
