You're Not Pro-Life Unless You're Pro-Choice

Being pro-choice is the only way you can be pro-life.

You're Not Pro-Life Unless You're Pro-Choice

It's 2019, we have the iPhone XR, cars that drive themselves, headphones that are Bluetooth operated. The list of advancements goes on and on but for some reason, we as a nation do not accept medical advancements if they aid women.

By banning or severely restricting abortion, like 28 states are currently trying to do, lives will not be saved. Hence, by you not supporting abortion you are not pro-life. If you don't support abortion you're saying that women's lives and choices don't matter and that you would rather them go to jail and leave the child in the foster system.

Banning abortion will only ban safe medical procedures. If it is banned women will just resort to more dangerous and life-threatening procedures.

If you were really pro-life you would be on the adoption list to save one of the 400,000 children in the foster care system. You would fight against colleges charging tens of thousands of dollars for tuition when they could offer lower rates. You would try in any way shape or form to help one of the fifteen million children living in poverty in America. You would fight for better gun control to protect children in schools from mass shooters.

What you wouldn't do is try to take away peoples right to chose what they do with their bodies.

It is an absolute surprise that so much of America is living in the dark ages thinking women's bodies should be controlled by men. Men in government are the ones who would be least affected by this legislation but for some reason, they're the only voices we hear.

To prevent these type of insane, uneducated ideas from spreading we need to implement more programs for kids to learn. Schools should have real sex education programs that teach kids about contraception and the choices they have to prevent unwanted pregnancy. We should also teach more men and women that aren't expecting children how to be good parents and raise children to succeed and not just live.

Kids are our future and we need to treat them that way. So from now on if you say you're pro-life you better mean you're pro-choice.

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.
