As A Woman, I'll Be The First To Say Yes, Men Deserve A Say In Our Reproductive Rights

Let's not forget that they are expected to be a big part of every other step of a child's creation and development.

As A Woman, I'll Be The First To Say Yes, Men Deserve A Say In Our Reproductive Rights

We've all heard the saying "my body, my choice." Men are told it's a wrongful entitlement to believe they should have a say in the life of their own unborn child. When a woman gets pregnant and everyone tries to blame her, there is almost always someone saying "it takes two." And that's true! It does take two to create a baby.

However, we tend to forget that when speaking on reproductive rights.

Whenever a baby is born, we expect the men to step up and take care of their children. Provide for them and spend time with them. So, how come a father only has rights to the baby once it is born?

If you are one of the women who tells men they have no say in you aborting his unborn child, you should never ask that man for a dime, a minute of his time, or a favor, should you have the child. I understand that the men don't have to suffer through the pregnancy, but we as women chose who we lie in bed with (with exceptions that I don't feel apply here).

How can anyone feel it is morally OK to be able to kill a man's child without his permission, but should we make the choice to not abort, force him to pay child support?

These aborted babies all belong to someone. Men are suffering in silence over losing babies that they are told they have no right to. The psychological effects on men whose unborn children are aborted are real and they are long-lasting.

Some men support their partner's decision and still struggle with the aftermath of emotions. Imagine begging a woman to not abort your child and having her do it anyway.

Give these men a voice. Give them their rights.

Men should have an equal say in the life of the baby they helped to create. Feminists will the first to say that I'm wrong, but feminism is about equality and support. Speak like a true feminist and support TRUE equality.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
