Why I'm Pro-Life, And Not Just Anti-Abortion

Nothing is as innocent as the life of a child.

Why I'm Pro-Life, And Not Just Anti-Abortion

I'm pro-life and not just anti-abortion. Abortion is wrong. I don't care about the excuses people make. Abortion is sometimes used as a birth control and that's so wrong on so many levels. There's always an option other than abortion.

I know you're saying, "but what if the mothers' life is in danger?"

Well, she can have a c-section. Babies can live outside of the womb as early as 22 weeks.

"But what if she can't support a child or doesn't want one"

There's adoption! There are so many families around the U.S. that can't conceive but would love to adopt. You have months to get a better job to support a child if that's what you choose.

I'm not here to tell you about why abortion is wrong, although I'm pro-life. All life is precious and valuable. Your child might have down syndrome and that's why you want to abort it? Well, shame on you. A child's deformities or mental disabilities (I hate that word disabilities) does not mean the quality of life will be bad. Yes, it might be hard but that child could go on to have a great life!

If I could adopt every unwanted child, I would in a heartbeat, no matter the genetic mutation or deformity. All life is precious and children are so innocent. Why take away a child's right to life all because you aren't ready? They didn't ask for it. It's no longer just your body, there's a precious and valuable human life growing inside of you who is dependent upon you and you want to end their right to life?

I don't care the disease or genetic mutation, abortion should never be an option. There are so many other options than abortion. I know it's not easy on the people that have abortions but they made that choice. There's always an option other than abortion. Life is valuable so don't take away an innocent one because you weren't ready.

As early as 8 weeks a baby can react to touch. By 20 weeks, babies can react to pain. Don't end a life when there are plenty of others willing to care for the child you don't want.

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.
