AboutLaws in Minnesota seem to lean toward protecting mothers while they abuse drugs and harm their unborn child.Minnesota has Laws in place to charge the Mother with child abuse,But from my personal experienceIt does not seem to get done.To civilly commit a Mother is a policy in Minnesota But there againI have tried to see why that is failed to get done also,You can place a Mother on hold if she test positive for narcotics while she is pregnant,But there again I have fought to wonder why theselaws and policies are not enforced. In Minnesota Health Care professionals are required to report this kind of drug abuse to the welfare system ,if the Mother And child test positive.After The Welfare system is involved they take the child into protective custody and can terminate your parental rights ,But although I have seen the welfare system work,they have never attempted to commit or charge the Mother with child abuse,or even child endangerment.The Laws Should be Harsher and they should be enforced.I know the state is afraid the mother will not get the prenatal care she or the baby needs If she is afraid she will be charged with a crime.But on the other hand these Mothers hardly seek the prenatal care they need any way and if they do, what is the point when they can walk out of the clinic freely to use drugs and there are no real consequences.And this can go on and on In the State Of Minnesota,The Mother can walk away from the poor little baby that she had who is suffering from withdrawl symptoms because of the effects of being on drugs for 9 months.Left to care for these Babies are the Grandparents, Fathers or any one the Welfare system chooses.The child Is Called Special needs Then.The cant walk or talk or play like other children their own age,and alot of the time they spend in the Doctors Office now.And guess what Mom is pregnant again and will harm one more child.When will this change? The Harsh Reality is : There has to be Harsher Laws :Step It UP Minnesota; South Carolina,Wisconsin and South Dakota Have laws and they work,it says come to South Carolina pregnant and do drugs you will be arrested Minnesota should join them on the right path of protecting these unborn babieswho will be born with a life time of problems to look forward to, and the cost of Health Care is Astronomical ,That is if the Baby even lives at all.
Here is a Babies Point of View,Please think about what you are going to do to Enforce Harsher Laws. Thank You For Making A Difference.
Heaven Will Cry Tears,
I hear your voice everyday,every word that you say ,Sometimes its loud and I cant Sleep.I hear your voice, Can you hear me
“Mommy Please”
I really wonder whats that smell,
I feel so cold and all alone,In this water of my own.If you love me I cant tell I am really scared’ Whats That Smell

The bald eagle, America’s symbol of national freedom, apparently doesn’t hold a candle to the gun lobby’s perceived freedom to poison this beautiful bird.
You can thank U.S. EPA. On Friday, gun-lovers won a crucial battle against conservationists and wildlife when, in a surprising move, the agency rejected a request (pdf) from environmental groups for a ban on lead in gun ammunition and tackle.
The Center for Biological Diversity, American Bird Conservancy and other groups argue lead toxins are wreaking havoc on the environment and have some startling numbers to back up the claim, including:
–Up to 20 million birds and other animals are killed each year as a result of lead poisoning.
–At least 75 wild bird species, including bald eagles and endangered California condors, are poisoned by spent lead ammo.
–About 87,000 tons of lead are released into the environment each year as a result of hunting, fishing and shooting ranges. As Change.org Animals blogger Martin Matheny recently pointed out, that’s as many tons as there are in the U.S. Navy’s largest vessel.
–Humans who eat game shot down with lead ammo face serious health risks. A recent study found that up to 87 percent of cooked fowl killed by lead ammo can contain unsafe lead levels.
With the noise that is the background of our lives, can we no longer hear
a small yelp of pain or a plaintive meow? They are there, you just need to listen. Pledge NOT to look the other way when you see animal abuse, even in your neighbor’s backyard. Report it, then be willing to be cooperative in it’s prosecution. Stop those who find their pleasure in the pain of animals. Support harsher sentences and stiffer fines for animal abusers. Demand that ISP%u2019s be held responsible for the images on their sites. Animal torture should not be considered entertainment and all information should be freely turned over to the police to assist in the arrest of those that engage in it.
We would like to ask all of you to help us, to obtain justice for the dogs that were tortured and killed, by four teenagers in Tepic, Mexico. They showed the world how cruel humans can be to innocent creatures.
They received very light penalties. We would like to ask the Mexican leaders of animal protection to change that. Not only in this case but in all cases of cruelty involving pain toward animals, we would like to see longer punishments, including jail time, and higher fines!
We are sending this petition to the Mexican government. To get these four cruel teens and to ask them not to look the other way when abuse happens again.
Please help us call attention to such a painful subject by adding your voice to ours and signing this petition!

Let us protect animals from cruelty
10 August 2010 %u2013 Ethiopia has recently decided to take a new approach to Eritrean refugees by allowing them to live outside camps, a move welcomed by the United Nations refugee agency.
Under the so-called %u2018out-of-camp%u2019 scheme announced last week, Eritreans who can sustain themselves financially or have relatives or friends who commit to supporting them no longer have to stay in camps.
The policy shift is due to discussions between the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Ethiopian Government.
%u201CGiven the fact that Eritrea and Ethiopia were a single political entity before the 1993 referendum, the new policy is also a response to refugees%u2019 wishes and needs for strengthened people-to-people relations between the two countries,%u201D UNHCR spokesperson Andrej Mahecic told reporters in Geneva.
More than 60,000 Eritrean refugees have crossed the border into Ethiopia since the border conflict in the late 1990s between the two countries.
I am really proud of what our Ethiopian brothers and sisters have done. This decision is great. I hope other countries will follow Ethiopias decision to allow refugees to live outside camps.
?
Your Excellency Prime Minister ? Melles Zenawi, i am really proud of what you did. As you always say, Governments will pass but not people of the two sisterly countries. We have same religion, same culture, same ancestry and so on.
?You are playing a great role and i want to thank you for that on behalf of the Eritrean people, and the Organizations to which i am a member of; Student World Assembly, Amnesty International( Voice Ambassadors), TakingITGlobal, Care2, One.org, World Youth Alliance, African Youth Foundation and others……
Currently i am a Human right Activist and i hope to meet you in person so as to thank you for everything you are doing to our Eritrean brothers and sisters.
? Thank you again your Excellency and hope you will continue to help Eritrean refugees.
???? Thank you
Thank Ethiopia For allowing Eritrean Refugees to Live Outside Camps
