mmm...zesty
the alarm rang at 5 am and my roommate and i, groggy, cold, tired and grumpy rushed around to get out of the room by 530 to catch the train to be at the school by 6. we got there at 630, the buses waiting on us. aimee and keith in my ears, along with joni and creedence. there was sleep through delaware, after drinking in the scenic area that was

i have mixed feelings, on one side i am completely against abortion. I believe it is generaly wrong to kill and even worse to kill a child, so by contrast killing a fetus could be worse of all? and even if they are only a few cells big and have no real brain or organs, you are kidding yourself to think "it isnt alive yet".
On the other hand, there are cercumstances that i would justify it. If the mother's life is in danger, she should have the choice. If the baby was a "rape baby" she should have the choice. And if they discover the baby has defects or handicaps she should have the choice.
other reasons i find UN-justifyable are the excuse that it is a teenage pregnancy, that she has too many kids already, or that she just doesnt want it. People who make decisions like these are the ones that cause the fury of anti abortion protestors. there are thousands of couples and familys on waiting lists to adopt healthy babies. and i realize that things can get messy in situations like that, but it isnt the kids fault, dont give him or her a death penalty because you made a mistake.
so as i am against abortion, i would never pass a law to outlaw it. there are very few reasons to justifiably keep it around, and the people that dont have a reason, but want to kill it anyway, probably shouldent be raising children anyway. so i wont stop them.
cool that u were there though, was it god awfully hot? i went to washington during a vacation and they were selling bottles of water for $5.00 each. If i am ever homeless i know where im gona go to make a living. ;o)

honestly if you held a gun to a kids head and said, "you can die or live here in an orphanage till your 18" i think a great deal of them would choose to keep there lives,
alot of people make the "its her body" argument, but streatch marks and a few extra pounds are a small price to pay in my opinion. and as for the mental anguish giving up your child is, killing isnt any easyer. we all need to live with the decisions we make, but agree that we should be allowed to make those decisions.
My cousin had 5 abortions, for the simple fact she didnt want them. they were just bi products of her sleeping around and a bit of a nusance that just kept coming up. its incredibly sad to sit down and realy think about that situation. five healthy children, from my family, that are now dead. because their mother just didnt want them.
i duno, its sad people throw away so much so easly.

but my grandma told my mom, when she found out she was pregnant with me, that she 'might as well have an abortion.' i was almost given up for adoption. and she kept me. so, even though i was one of those wanted ones, i was unwanted, too, and knowing that until i was born i was so hated and unwanted in my family, the one that prizes me now, that kind of hurts. but the point is, my mom had that choice, regardless of what she did with it. she had the choice. and that's all i'm fighting for.
