Pro-Life, Pro-Woman, Anti-Abortion message from Ireland...Beautiful
Get educated! Web Sites about abortion.
Silent Scream
This web site shows an abortion from an ultrasound point of view. Not for children. Also has other resources.
Abortion Instruments
This web site is VERY graphic. Shows a video of abortion procedures and pictures of aborted babies along with pictures of abortion instruments and descriptions of how they are used. This web site is NOT for children, and I wouldn't recommend this one to the faint of heart.
I posted these links for educational purposes only, not for shock value.

I am disgusted and appalled
The other day I read something online that made me absolutely sick. A woman in Massachusetts who suffered from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia was told in court that she would be forced to abort her 5 month old unborn baby and undergo a forced sterilization! In AMERICA! The country that was once free...
Luckily, a higher court ruled that a judge could not force anyone to do that. Thank God! This young woman and child need help, not harm for the woman and a bloody end for the child!
Where are the so-called pro-choice people on this issue? Why aren't they making a fuss about this? Forced abortion and sterilization is not "choice," it is control. It is government control over reproduction and the lives of children. This poor woman is also a Catholic, so her religious freedom was also being violated. Practicing Catholics are strictly pro-life. The judge, (who should be disbarred) said that her beliefs likely stemmed from her mental problems. WHAT? Never mind that her first psychotic break came after an abortion she'd had previously, which if you look at statistics, isn't uncommon!

And here is the transcript of the vomit-inducing conversation I had on facebook after posting the link there:
Me: This is horrible! I can't believe things like this are happening in our once free country! I'm glad this was overturned!
Old Acquaintance: Yeah, nothing better than allowing a nutcase to breed . . . also, our country is far from free.
Me: I said "once free." And no one should be able to force someone else to have their baby ripped from them if it is against their beliefs.
Old Acquaintance: I disagree -- there are far too many people in this country reproducing that really shouldn't be. No where in the Constitution or Bill of Rights does it state that you have a right to just spit out kids regardless of your lack of ability to raise them. Her beliefs could very well stem from her delusional disorder, which is certainly a huge problem with her having a child. I almost even agree with the forced sterilization. This woman has a disorder that she needs to be responsible about and yes, it does come with many sacrifices -- including, not having children. The only issue I have with controlling reproduction is the fact that it would likely be controlled by the government and they're a bunch of worthless fucks as it is.
Me: The National Socialists forced sterilizations and abortions on "undesirables." Then they moved on to the ones that had already been born. Is that what kind of society you want to live in? This woman was also off her medication. When she has her baby (which by the way at 5 months has a good chance at survival outside the womb with medical care) she will go back on her medication and her situation can be reevaluated. This young woman and child need help, not harm. (This response was liked by a friend who is a single mother)
Old Acquaintance: I'm aware that the implications of it being actually put into mass effect are no good, which is why I don't advocate it on that scale. Our society and government has its own ways of weeding out the undesirables and fucking us over -- that's a fact of life no matter where you go. Let's go ahead and be idealistic, and pretend that fair actually happens, instead of looking at the facts. This woman has a very serious mental disorder and the prognosis for her ability to raise her child is very poor. Should that, in fact, turn out to be the case -- the child then becomes the problem of the state -- a problem for the taxpayers; the mother may even fall into that same boat, if she isn't already. Every life is precious; which is why you should not bring one into the world if you are not capable of caring for it. I know this sounds harsh, but reality is harsh.
Me: One more thing. What about all the people who are adopted who have wonderful lives despite how inept their birth parents may have been? With that, I think we will have to just agree to disagree. My mind is made up, and I think yours is too.
My Best Friend: So I was adopted. My mother was too young to have me and she could have easily gotten rid of me by abortion! She choose to give me to a family that couldn't have children. I wouldn't be here if she had chosen to kill me! Abortion is wrong!!! It is a living, breathing person in the mother's womb! It is murder no matter how you look at it! No one should ever force an abortion. I am appalled!
After this, the acquaintance had no more to say, and my friend and I began talking about our children's ultrasounds, and how alive they were at just 8 weeks, 12 weeks, etc. with their little heartbeats, actions, and responses. Which was a nice change from the start of that Facebook conversation!
I get really angry with people who think of new lives, children, as just burdens on women, society, and the environment. I just can't believe that people with the acquaintance's opinion about human life still exist in today's world. With all the "everyone has value" messages and all the scientific evidence that life begins in the womb, how on Earth can someone basically say that the life of a child with a mentally unstable birth mother has no value? How many young, unstable women have given birth to perfectly normal babies and given them to childless couples who love them, nurture them, and give them a good life? How many people who grow up with an unstable parent still have much to offer the world? What I really don't understand is how this person can constantly argue for "tolerance," and "acceptance" of people with differences, such as gays, bisexuals, and transgenders, but insist that people with other mental differences should be sterilized? And furthermore, as someone with no children, who doesn't really seem to desire to have children, why does she think she is the expert on who should be reproducing? If she doesn't want children, I think that it is her right to use birth control to prevent becoming pregnant, but it is no one's right, especially not the government's, to prevent people who want babies from having them, or order them to kill the babies they are already carrying!

Parenting License? No.
Do we really want to be like China, guys? I don't think so. Recently I watched a YouTube rant by Kicesie (I won't dare embed the video, as she is known for descending on bloggers who do with threats of legal action) saying that people should have to have a license to become a parent. I disagree with this on so many levels! First of all, I probably wouldn't have been given a license to have my daughter. She was unplanned, but definitely not unwanted! I wasn't married when I got pregnant with her. I was married months before I gave birth, but if we had lived in a place where people had to have licenses to give birth, there is a good chance she would have been forcefully ripped from me, and I would not have my beautiful baby in my arms right now. You may think I'm exaggerating. Maybe, maybe not. But I think that it is a slippery slope when a government is allowed to decide who should and should not have children. Just look at Nazi Germany. Or China today. Secondly, some of the people that the majority think "shouldn't be allowed" to have kids are some of the best parents. I have an acquaintance who got pregnant at 17. She gave birth at 18 and is now one of the most loving, fiercely protective mothers I've ever met. She is married now and pregnant with her second baby. One of my best friends wasn't a teen mom, but her first child was born out of wedlock. Did this make her a bad mother? NO! She and her boyfriend eventually got married and had another baby, but she was a loving mother even as a single mom. Then there is the income issue. I grew up with children in poverty. Sometimes their lights were shut off for a few days. Sometimes they couldn't pay their activity fees on time. Sometimes their parents struggled to have dinner on the table every night. But you know what? Some of their parents were the kindest people and the children grew up in loving families. That is more than I can say for some of the children of the older, elitist parents in the city I live in who have children only to carry on their name, or because they want someone to mold into a younger version of themselves. I went to college with a girl who nannied for a family like this, and she said that the mother was constantly at an event of some kind, or working out rather than spending time with her children, but always made sure they were stylishly dressed before they left the house! Wow, way to show your children what's most important. Anyway, I digress. Love is what is important in a family, not being an older parent or having a six figure income. Children from working class families quite often grow up to be strong, hardworking, well-adjusted people. I know many adults who prove that, including some of those closest to me! Lastly, most people who don't want children these days don't have them. It has become more acceptable to not have children, so many people don't! I'm not a supporter of abortion, but I do support birth control. If you feel you would be a terrible parent, you don't have to make any babies! Quite simple. There are of course other things to think about, like race quotas, which I could write a whole blog on, and what the terms of such a license would be. If the person giving the licenses disagreed with your religion or political ideology, would they refuse to issue one to you? What if you were disabled but still able to raise a child? Would your past mistakes haunt you? If you'd spent time in a treatment facility as a teen would it affect your chances of getting a parenting license? Would your entire life's history be under scrutiny? Would your facebook posts be used against you? All things to think about. In conclusion, having to have a license to become a parent would prevent some very capable people from having children. I wonder if Kicesie thinks she would be allowed to obtain a parenting license?Some more things to consider:In China, there is a parenting license. Women who have become pregnant out of wedlock have been given forced abortions, something no one should EVER have to go through! Women who have had one child (or two in rural areas) who become pregnant again have been given forced abortions.Women who have one child already are sometimes forcefully sterilized.This is all behind the idea that only certain kinds of people should become parents, and people should only have certain sizes of families.I believe that all people who want children should have the chance to have their own. I believe that good families can come in all sizes.

Watch this.
Please excuse my language, I've been trying not to swear so much, but Obama is a sick bastard. He supports this. This video made me cry. What is wrong with people? Is this what our world is coming to? Please watch.
