On Tuesday, January 22nd a law in New York was passed allowing women to abort their baby at any time of the pregnancy if it risks the mother's health. The bill was first introduced in 2006 but was shot down by the Republican-controlled state Senate. Now that Democrats are the majority, the bill was passed and signed. The liberal standpoint of this new law is that it gives the woman the right to "make her own decisions about her own personal health". What this belief fails to understand is when a baby is actual human life.

6 weeks. At this time, a baby's heartbeat is able to be detected. At this time of the pregnancy, the baby is completely reliant on the safety that his/her mother provides.

The most terrifying part of this law is doctors aren't the only medical professionals allowed to perform this operation. This law is so far-reaching that it enables nurse practitioners and even midwives to kill the baby. What many don't truly understand is the process of how an abortion is performed. On Thursday, January 24th, Lisa Bevere reveals the harsh truth of the process of a late-term abortion on Instagram.

Abortion has always been a debate between pro-life and pro-choice for many years, and it's a healthy debate. Being a pro-life advocate, I have always been able to respect and understand the people who believe women should be given the choice. But, I fail to understand extending laws to late-term abortion. I believe it's just murder of human life. "Pure evil" is how Lisa describes it in her social media post.

The New York abortion law brings one question to my mind...God, where are you? That's the sickening truth.

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.
