An Open, Aggressive Letter To Pro-Lifers
priestsforlife.org

For those pro-lifers out there working really hard to protect unborn children, I really hope you don't scoff at all those children after they grow up. You know, the ones that were never adopted or financially supported and end up having to go through the nightmare that is the foster care system. The ones that will probably end up having to use stamp cards in line at HEB. Those people that you really felt needed to be born, you now judge and claim they're ripping off your taxes. Let's close abortion clinics, yes, "make people live with their consequences." But isn't a baby supposed to be a miracle and not a consequence? And if so, then you're recognizing the unfortunate situation that it would be to have to put a child through foster care or attempt to take care of a child that you can't take care of. By making people live with their consequences, you forget that the unborn baby is both the "consequence" and a "person" that is going to also live with those consequences.

Please don't bring that, "they should have a right to fight for their life" bull-crap here.You should be more willing to fight for their lives, knowing they're defenseless children entering a world with no mother or father that can provide for them, like was naturally provided to you. Fighting for their lives before they're born and not while they're fully conscious beings is a joke. By just being born to parents that wanted you and could provide for you, you're already 10 steps ahead of a person that wasn't.

However, by all means, keep crying about the immorality of abortion clinics and sex and people entitled to your tax dollars. Please, continue being entitled enough to your opinion, to force others to live the way you want, even though that probably will not be possible for them because they aren't as privileged as you. Please continue not wanting anything to do with the people that need help and call those people "lazy" and "entitled," even though they will have to fight just to make up for the financial support system that you were born with.

"People have fought and gone from homeless to famous." Well, yes, good for those people, but do we really live in a system where everyone is allowed to succeed? I mean, seriously? Who is going to flip burgers and work for big businesses if everybody has a degree? Just the teenagers, right? That's beside the fact that most of those jobs are filled by middle age adults. However, I guess they're all just lazy, right? If you're capable of putting time and energy into closing abortion clinics, defunding planned parenthood, and so on, then I would think there should be an equal push to love those who are already born and need you.

If you can't do that, then you're not pro-life. You're pro-"others taking responsibility for their actions." Which is ironic, considering you fail to realize the negative impact you're having on other's lives by making contraception and abortion harder to obtain.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
