Why We Should Defund Planned Parenthood

On November 8th, America voted for their political leaders and the result was amazing, because America now has a republican controlled house and senate. Since the 8th, republicans have been preparing themselves for the work that lies ahead. They are gearing up to dismantle Obama's disastrous legacy.

One of the first items on the agenda is the complete repeal of the Affordable Care Act or commonly referred to as Obamacare. Obamacare was terrible from the beginning and the aftermath now shows just how awful it was. Barry kept lying saying how it was great, and many people bought into the lie. Well, anyone with a conscience knows that it was a tragedy and republicans are looking for a full repeal. There is also a gem planted in the legislation to repeal Obamacare. That gem is that Planned Parenthood will be defunded. Hallelujah!

In my opinion, Planned Parenthood is a corrupt organization that makes a killing and they need to be defunded. They claim to be a nonprofit, however, financial records prove that to be a lie. Planned Parenthood generates the majority of their revenue from performing abortions, at about 86 percent of their revenues. When they perform roughly 320,000 abortions a year, the dollars begin to add up.

Planned Parenthood makes enough in profits that they do not need to be funded by the government. I do not believe the government should fund any form of healthcare, let alone Planned Parenthood. The organization just works as an arm of the democrat party. There are many pregnancy centers that will help women without the desire to profit off the death of an innocent child. Those centers will provide the same care and services that Planned Parenthood provides and they will not perform abortions. Planned Parenthood is an abortion mill and they deserve to be defunded.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
