Bj’s Drug store was robbed last night as store owner, Barney Joseph Jr, was held at gunpoint around 8:30pm.
Two masked men entered the store and successfully robbed the store by walking out with over 380 dollars in cash. The robbery took less than one minute as they exited to their already running car the store owner said.
Joseph had a weapon behind the counter but choose not to use it as he did not want the situation to turn out like the one his father was in 25 years ago. Joseph father pulled a gun on robbers 25 years ago and the result was him being shot to death in his own store.
When Joseph was asked about this he said, I’d rather part way with money than my life.”
The State of Texas recently passed a new abortion law that can be enforced by just about any citizen.
The new law states that abortions can no longer take place after six weeks from the pregnant person’s last menstural cycle.The government is not enforcing this law as it requires citizens to enforce by suing.
Some feel that this law basically eliminates abortions in the state of Texas. Especially due to the fact many women in the United States do not know that they are pregnant by 6 weeks.
Under these laws it makes it almost impossible for someone to get an abortion. For a woman to try to get a judicial bypass is very difficult and some may say impossible. Once the teeneager is able to get infront of the a judge and plead her case as why she should be allowed to get an abortion, the judge now has 5 days to make his decision.
If the judge denies her case, the woman now has no other options but to have the baby. This is due to the fact that an appeal process would take too long.
Many people are upset due to the fact people who were raped have few options to abort the child. Although the Texas Governor, Greg Abbot says, “It provides at least six weeks for a person to be able to get an abortion.” The reason people are upset is that many women do not know they are pregnant till at least four weeks.
The toll on women may be the worst thing for these women as a study of a large number of women found that women who were forced to have the child suffered extreme physical and mental concerns. The concern does not just stop there it also continues with financial struggles.
The Washington Post Reported that this new law in Texas may be spreading into other states throughout the United States. It is reported that seven states have considered copying Texas’ new abortion law.
The law is protected from the Supreme Court since the law is enforced by private Citizens. This was purposefully designed to withstand any unconstitutional claims.
Sonia Sotomayer, a Supreme Court Justice, said, “an extraordinary step of enlisting private citizens to do what the State could not.” Nothing in this law has been proven to be unconstitutional even though many do not agree with the law. An important part is when a lawsuit is filed, the civilian is suing the person or place that gives performs the abortion not the patient.
Overall, there are many different opinions in the United States about this abortion law. There will never be the same opinion on this issue so this problem will continiue for years to come.

Yesterday, the East Dakota Highway patrol banned the use of hand held radar guns in Sioux City, Iowa. The reason behind such ban is due to the risk of troopers developing cancer of longterm exposure from these radars. There are currently studies going to over the radition that emitted from these guns and if they can be connected to cancer.
The East Dakota Highway Patrol is doing this as a precaitionary action but this will remove 70 radar guns from the area. Although the Patrol will not have these guns there is still radar units on the outside of their cars allowing them to see the speed of cars.
The East Dakota Patrol is choosing to be on side of caution until is more information is found out about the issue. Some day we may see these 70 radars back in action on the Sioux City Streets.
