Hillary Clinton has publicly declared that she views an unborn baby as having no constitutional rights.

LifeNews reports: "While campaigning in Indiana over the weekend, pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made it clear she has no love for the new pro-life law in Indiana that protects unborn babies who have Down syndrome," (http://www.lifenews.com/2016/05/02/hillary-clinton...)

As an older sister of a sister with Down Syndrome, I have a lot to say about this matter. So here goes.

Dear Hillary,

I'm sorry you are missing out on the wonderful adventure it is having a loved one with Down Syndrome in this world. My sister is the most beautiful person I have in my life inside and out. She is the happiest, bubbliest human being I've seen and her personality is the kind the world longs to see in a person.

But if I lived under your standards, my blue eyed beauty wouldn't exist. I would not ever have the opportunity to hear her joyful giggle, to watch her as she grows- all because she is different from you.

Do you think that she is not as much of a person as you? That the thing that makes her unique is the very thing that downgrades her quality of humanity? What happened to "all men created equal?"

Creation begins at conception, because the very pieces that will become your being are created at conception. If all men are created equal, what decides that one may have the power to take another's life? Unborn babies are humans. Individuals with Down Syndrome are humans. They are all humans who deserve life.

I am so glad that the world does not all think like you; because if they did, it would be a terrible, murderous place. We would be murdering brothers, sisters, scientists, thinkers, and people who have so much to give the world before they ever had the chance to make their mark.

How dare you, How could you take innocent lives? It's not abortion. It's murder. And it's wrong, especially with kids like my sister.

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.
