Pro-Life, Not Pro-Choice

They have a right to live, too.

Pro-Life, Not Pro-Choice

I’m not normally one to put my political beliefs out in public, but I believe this problem needs to be addressed. At what point can you rationalize killing someone or something? At what point is it considered homicide?

If you haven’t caught my drift so far, I am pro-life.

From the time I can remember in school, whenever teachers went over abortion, the methods and procedures, I had to get up and leave the room. Just the thought of abortion makes me sick to my stomach. Most of the time, the person who is getting the procedure does not fully know the extent of it until they are sitting in the procedure room. But that begs the question: If you don’t know a lot about it, then why are you doing it?

To me, killing an embryo or fetus is homicide. What is growing inside of you is a human, it has just as much right to live as you do. If you can’t take care of it, then give it up for adoption, don’t kill it.

The reason my rant has come up is because of the issues going on with Planned Parenthood. If you haven’t heard what the issue is, I will tell you. Planned Parenthood believes that it is okay to do an abortion called a “Partial Live Birth” or a “Partial Birth” where the fetus is around 20-24 weeks old. Some of these fetuses can live outside of the womb for a short time after extraction. But with a partial live birth, the abortionist pulls the fetus out feet first and drains the brain from the fetus. By federal law, a partial live birth is a felony and is punishable unless the mother’s life is in question.

What Planned Parenthood is doing with these partial live birth babies is using them for their organs. Let me repeat myself, they are illegally harvesting organs from these fetuses and selling them. Yet again, this is a felony. This is a major problem.

Not only is abortion murder, but you are intentionally pulling a baby from the womb to commit homicide, but you’re committing two felonies for what? Every living organism has the right to live. Just because they cannot speak for themselves does not mean that they shouldn’t have the same rights.

Abortion is wrong. I will always think that. In my opinion, Pro-Life is definitely the way to go.

Let’s stand up for what is right and not let Planned Parenthood get away with this! Save the fetuses!

And for anyone who hasn't seen the Planned Parenthood footage, here it is:

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.
