I just read an op-ed piece, by Nicholas D. Kristof, in the NYTimes online thingy. It was about abortion in Portugal and how there was just a mass trial of women who had abortions. All the women were acquitted, but they all had to go through a trial, which was degrading. Also, one woman, a nurse, was sentenced to 8 and a half year in prison or something for performing abortions. It goes on to say how medieval the whole thing is for Portugal and that popular opinion was very high against the criminalization of abortions. But what stuck out for me was the last few lines, which read:

"As one sensible woman put it in her autobiography: "For me, abortion is a personal issue — between the mother, father and doctor." She added, "Abortion is not a presidential matter."

President Bush, listen to your mother."


It seems like the New York Times hates Bush as much as the rest of us.

I'm on page 58 of The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, which is pretty good so far. Right now it's in back story, but it's supposed to delve into the world of the first comic books.
