These two articles are worth reading. Are they a harbinger of what may happen in the USA?

Texas Legislation Adds Conditions on Abortion
Below is the letter to the editor that I sent to the Wall Street Journal regarding the article found at this website http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704681904576315350526209130.html?mod=ITP_pageone_1
Good Morning
I read with great interested the article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on 11 May 2011 on page A4 entitled Texas Legislation Adds Conditions on Abortion.
I was most struck by the comments by Ms Kelly Rosati from the group Focus on the Family on how an ultrasound is capable of having a woman connect "with that child inside her".
It is interesting how she and others on the religious and political right are so anxious for a woman to connect with her unborn child but are not willing to devote the necessary resources so that relationship can grow and develope once the child is born. Ms Rosati and Focus on the Family are prime examples of the attitude that tells women we will do everything possible for you to keep your child, but once it is born, you are on your own.

Response to Randi Weingarten's Article
Here is a letter that I sent to the WSJ in response to the article found at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704071704576276673922731938.html
In her article, Ms Weingarten decries the use of market based solutions in education. What Ms Weingarten fails to understand that there is a de-facto market system in place already in that parents are choosing education alternatives that run the gamut from charter schools, private or parochial schools or simply moving to a location with better schools.
Ms Weingarten is already in the middle of a market based solutions and her refusal to embrace fundamental change such as pay for performance, and elimination of tenure with cause and increase in the flight of parents to alternative education choices.
