The following guiding principles have been established for this page and have not been changed over time, but edited below because I like writing different words to convey the same idea. Actually, no, see Single Sourcing Rant
I often use the title of the article, so the decision can be made whether to click the link or not, but sometimes, I'm pressed for time. If it looks interesting, click it.
This is not a "fair and balanced" page. I repeat, "This is not a "fair and balanced" page. I make ZERO attempt to have an equal number of "conservative" links and "liberal" links on this page.
I'm going to leave this item as #1 on this page, which is different from the other pages like this where I put the most recent link / video at the top so that the last numbered item is typically the first item I added to this page. I saw this on Facebook and thought it would be interesting to capture on this page. In my opinion, the first line is not "proven" by the rest of the lines. In all the scenarios that are described, the author attempts to justify why murdering a baby is acceptable. I dislike the hypocrisy. "I'm anti-[whatever] but here are fringe scenarios why I'd be okay doing [whatever]." Plus, the line "Abortion is healthcare" is simply wrong as abortion means that one life is taken from Earth. Period. Also, this statement is false - Overturning Roe does not stop abortions, it stops SAFE abortions! - as overturning Roe does not end all abortions. Instead, overturning Roe means that the governance around abortion is returned to the states. If a woman wants an abortion, there are "medical professionals" who will do that. If the woman and the child has to travel longer than 5 minutes, I think that is okay as when the woman is heading home, the child within her will be heading home to rest in the arms of Jesus. Finally, the author writes this: It's about fighting for the women in the stories that you do agree with and the CHOICE that was made. However, I think replacing "women" with "babies" sums up my opinion, as in: It's about fighting for the babies in the stories that you do agree with and the CHOICE that was made.
I'm not pro-murdering babies.
I'm pro-Becky who found out at her 20-week anatomy scan that the infant she had been so excited to bring into this world had developed without life sustaining organs.
I'm pro-Susan who was sexually assaulted on her way home from work, only to come to the horrific realization that her assailant planted his seed in her when she got a positive pregnancy test result a month later.
I'm pro-Theresa who hemorrhaged due to a placental abruption, causing her parents, spouse, and children to have to make the impossible decision on whether to save her or her unborn child.
I'm pro-little Cathy who had her innocence ripped away from her by someone she should have been able to trust and her 11-year-old body isn't mature enough to bear the consequence of that betrayal.
I'm pro-Melissa who's working two jobs just to make ends meet and has to choose between bringing another child into poverty or feeding the children she already has because her spouse walked out on her.
I'm pro-Brittany who realizes that she is in no way financially, emotionally, or physically able to raise a child.
I'm pro-Emily who went through IVF, ending up with SIX viable implanted eggs requiring selective reduction to ensure the safety of her and a SAFE number of fetuses.
I'm pro-Jessica who is FINALLY getting the strength to get away from her physically abusive spouse only to find out that she is carrying the monster's child.
I'm pro-Vanessa who went into her confirmation appointment after YEARS of trying to conceive only to hear silence where there should be a heartbeat.
I'm pro-Lindsay who lost her virginity in her sophomore year with a broken condom and now has to choose whether to be a teenage mom or just a teenager.
I'm pro-Courtney who just found out she's already 13 weeks along, but the egg never made it out of her fallopian tube so either she terminates the pregnancy or risks dying from internal bleeding.
You can argue and say that I'm pro-choice all you want, but the truth is:
I'm pro-life.
Their lives.
Women's lives.
You don't get to pick and choose which scenarios should be accepted. It's not about which stories you don't agree with. It's about fighting for the women in the stories that you do agree with and the CHOICE that was made.
Women's rights are meant to protect ALL women, regardless of their situation!
Overturning Roe does not stop abortions, it stops SAFE abortions!
Abortion is healthcare.
Ben Shapiro was in Ames, IA, which is only ~2 hours away from me ... and I didn't know about it... I wish I would have known he was speaking as I would have tried to go see him... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U01qvDYQfKk
