Lol. I wish I had the ability to stay up until 2 am...With work and classes, I'm dragging myself into bed by 10 pm! Or rather, into couch, as I've forsaken my top bunk for the el cheapo 2-seat couch I bought for our dormroom. Salvation Army is my friend...$5 furniture!
Well... that's kinda what this whole post was about. How I'm somewhat afraid for the future of the good 'ol USA. BLAH! Yet another reminder not to get philosophical at 2 in the morning.
Well, I know the pills aren't 100% effective, and I meant "birth control" to include condoms and the like. But I know there are girls out there who are stupid and don't use ANYTHING!! Seriously, watch that show on MTV called "16 & Pregnant". I saw the reunion show and the host asked all the girls, "How many of you used any kind of protection when you got pregnant?" None of them raised their hand. The host then asked, "How many of you used protection on a regular basis?" ONE GIRL raised her hand and said, "We used condoms sometimes." That made me very afraid for the future of our country...
Agree.....pretty much....ppl are hypocrites. They only forbid something becuz it's not THEM personally in that situation, right? On your points here I do agree. Even on abortion, not becuz I want to take the lives of children....but becuz in some situations it's better to end it before they are born into a living hell you know? And like you said here, there are other considerations like rape. It should just be a choice with so many varying situations out there. -_- It's sad...but true.
And when it comes to certain 'religious ppl', well how can they criticize when they themselves don't follow their own preachings. I personally know someone who claims to be a "DEVOUT CHRISTIAN", yet...he can't even forgive a member of his own family for something minor... It's pathetic.
Ok ok...I need to stop here before I write you a novel. LOL I don't believe you ever waste time by stating your opinions :3
I pretty much agree with you on abortion. I just think it should be an option up till a certain point (like it is now). What I don't understand are the people who want to get rid of it even in the case that could result in death or in cases of rape/incest. Also... birth control does fail when it's in the wrong hands. I don't know if you take birth control, but I did for awhile and it can be really confusing about if it is or is not working right with you system. If you assume its working... that can lead to a mistake.
I agree with you about homosexual marriage. I personally don't see homosexuality as morally correct, but I do have homosexual friends, and I want them to be happy like me. If they wanna get married, let them.
As for abortion, you confused me, so I'm not sure if I should say I agree. I think it should only be an option if either the mother or the baby's life is in danger because of the pregnancy. I don't think it's right to kill a child just because you were stupid enough to not use some form of birth control...That's the same as telling homosexuals they can't get married...You're taking options away from the child. Yeah, sure, you're taking options away from the mother, but she made her choice when she spread her legs...
