Pro-life, not just a religious thing

-
Anyone with half a brain (who isn't trying to kid himself with illogical excuses) is pro-life, because of course unborn babies are people too, what else could they be? Noone deserves to die because YOU made a mistake. It not about freedom of choice, because what about the baby's right to choose to live? Does he not have a choice too? It's not the woman's body either, because while that baby might be inside the woman, he's got his own body that isn't hers.

What is it all about? It's about not taking responsibility for your actions. It's about sterilizing sex and making it all about what I can get out of it and nothing about what I can give in it. It's about taking the easy way out.

What hero takes the easy way out? What an inspiring movie that would make, a hero who didn't do what was right no matter how hard it was. A hero who never sacrificed anything for a greater good. Abortion assumes that we are not capable of being heros, that we are not able to take responsibility for our actions, that we are not able to do what is right no matter how hard it might be. It makes us out to be really incapable people. That is a lie.

Just to prove that you don't need to be religious to be pro-life, here is a pro-life atheist site. These people, not believing in eternal life of course, are horrified at the thought that these babies are being robbed of their only chance to BE.

And just so you know, you can be feminist and pro-life too, like this site proves, who are basically of the opinion that if a woman feels that she has no choice but to abort, it is because we, as a society have not yet done enough for women and their children.

    I always hesitate to bring in any religion into the debate on abortion because 1) many pro-choice people just don't consider God as an authority on anything and therefore 2) bringing religion into it actually hurts the cause by making it a christian thing. Which it is not. It is a human thing. It all has to do with; are these babies human? Because if so, we cannot treat them this way. You have to be scientific about it. Unless, of course, you happen to know that you are amongst a bunch of pro-life, religious people. Also, 3) making it a christian/religious thing kind of makes those who are not religious feel out of place. I know of at least one atheist (over the internet) involved in religious pro-life movements who often felt out of place.

Sectes

Il y a peut-être un an de cela, une amie m'a dit qu'elle avait entendu dire certains gens traiter Marie-Jeunesse de secte. Mon mari ne connait pas Marie-Jeunesse, mais il est convaincu qu'Opus Dei est un secte et le livre "Le code DaVinci" n'a fait, bien sur, qu'affirmer ses croyances. Pourquoi est-ce que quand un groupe suit le Vatican et ses enseignements et encourage les autres à le faire aussi, même des personnes à l'intérieur de l'Église le traitent de secte?! La suite logique à cela serait de dire que le Vatican lui-même est un secte! Alors ces gens-là pensent quoi? Qu'ils ont la vérité et que c'est le Vatican qui en a dévié? Qu'ils sont les vrais catholiques, alors que le Vatican n'a pas de bons sens? Il y a presque 15 ans j'ai fait partie de Marie-Jeunesse, avant que ce groupe ne devienne communauté religieuse. Laissez-moi vous dire que Marie-Jeunesse n'a rien d'un secte. Libre à vous d'y aller ou d'y par...

Crashing into Thin Air - Excerpt From Chapter Seven

-
She was deep into a website project on her laptop when Christian came home later.  She saved her work and closed the laptop. “So?”  She asked, as he sat across the table.  “How was it?” He eyed her.  “You enjoy talking about yourself?” He asked. Joanne nodded. “To a stranger?” Joanne shrugged, “Sometimes that’s easier.”  She said.  “Strangers don’t judge.  They don’t really care.  They aren’t personally involved.” “So you’ve done this before?  Talked to a psychiatrist about your problems?” “Uh, no.  Not really.” Christian shook his head.  “So how can you know you’d like it?  What do you think it’s like, having to go through unpleasant memories that you’d rather forget?  It’s not much fun!” “Sorry.” Joanne replied. “So if you enjoy talking about yourself so much, why don’t you tell me what you were going to tell me this morning?” “You’re not a stranger.” Joanne reminded him.  “That makes things ...

Problems in Bolivia

Now this is what I am talking about. This is what people are fleeing away from, this is why the US has so many illegal immigrants, this is why people have a love-hate relationship with the US, what is the US going to do about it? (From the SOA Watch :) We are writing with grave concern about an emerging conflict in South America´s poorest nation, Bolivia and we need you to take immediate action. Bolivia is facing a critical moment in which the survival of a new era of hope is gravely threatened. After suffering decades of military dictatorships followed by years of economic dictatorship, Bolivia heralded in a new moment of dignity with the election of its first indigenous president, Evo Morales. However, just one month after a recall referendum gave Morales 67% of the vote, Bolivia's secessionist movement has unleashed unprecedented violence throughout the country. After three days of riots, 8 people have died, several government institutions have been destroyed and Bolivia´s gas ...
