Abortion

I've been hearing a lot of talk about abortion lately. I've heard people telling women that they shouldn't have one because it's wrong. One thing I don't see is people asking these women why they want one. Some want one because they've been raped, some want one because they can't care for the child because of an illness or they don't have the money to tend to a child, and some don't really want one at all.
I know two girls that didn't want it, but was pressured into it. One was forced into it by her mother and the school we went to, the other was pressured into by her boyfriend. It's one thing when the woman wants the abortion, but another when she's pressured into it by "god-fearing" people and then those same people give her hell because of it. That was the worst thing I had ever seen anyone do. That was the reason I read the Bible and in time became what I am now.
These people that don't you having an abortion are usually the same people that don't want sex education taught in schools. They must have forgotten what it was like being an teen. They must not know that times are harder now. They must think that because they have a book that tells them what to do, eveeryone should do as they do. They don't seem to care about the feelings or well being of the female going through this life changing whirlwind. They're not thinking about anyone other than themselves.
They don't think about what will happen after the fetus is born. What will happen to the child if the mother truely doesn't want it? Will she get over it? Learn to love the child? Or will she become depressed? Will take out her anger at the people that forced her to have the child on the poor child? If the child is beaten they may become angry and take it out on others. What if the child kills someone in their anger?
What if the female was raped? If you were raped, would you want to have your attacker's child? Isn't being raped enough pain for her to go through? What if the female will die if she doesn't have the abortion? What if the baby wouldn't make it through the delivery process? What if the female isn't mentally or physically able to care for a child?
These are things that people don't talk about when they're telling these women not to have abortions. They don't think past the now. There is adoption, but few kids get adopted. Most kids put up for adoption stay in foster homes till they reach 18 years old. These are the some of the things we need to think about when talking about abortions. What will happen the child is born and there's nobody around to help that child grow and be healthy in mind and body? Not everyone gets that special person to help them when things get tough.
I've also noticed that all of the pressure goes to the female and the male that helped the fetus get where it's at gets nothing said to them. I know males that have left when the woman they're with tells them they're pregnant. The woman is left all alone to get the torture these people dish out. I have yet to see the male get any of the looks and preachings the females get. She didn't get pregnant on her own.
If the woman has to have the child that she doesn't want, then the male should have to tend to the child when it's born. That won't work! This is still a man's world and the women are still fighting for the right to have control of our bodies.
(I know I haven't every case of these, so I'm just ranting about what I have seen.)

Good people?

Why must I believe in a god to be a good person? Why must I pray for a person to show them I care? Do I really have to put my trust in something I can't be sure is real to show I can be trusted? Why do I have to belive in a life after I die to show people I care about what happens to them? I don't think I do. I don't think anyone does.
If you can't see that I care about someone, you're not paying attention. I show people I care by being there for them when they need me. Even if the only thing I can do for them is listen to them. I think being a good person is as simple as treating others the way you want them to treat you. I can show I care about this life by making the most I can from this one life I have. I don't have to trust a being that I can't prove is real in order for me to be trustworthy. I can show you that you can trust by doing what I say I'll do.
By saying I can't be trusted because I don't believe in your god would be me saying you can't be trusted because you believe in an insivible man in the sky that controls all. That you can't tell the difference between real and fiction. Of course, I wouldn't do that. I know that just because you believe something I don't doesn't mean you can't be trusted. It only means that we believe different things.
Our religious veiws shouldn't be something that we let control our lives. There is so much more to life than religion. We can do so much with our lives than debate our religions views. When I decide if I like a person, their religion doesn't have a part in making my choice. It's about what kind of person they are, not what god they do or don't believe in.

Good Times.

It's been one hell of a weekend. It's been fun, but it wore me out. Took the kids to the park, got my cell upgraded, spent yesterday with my mom, and my hubby the watch geek got me a watch. Little miss Pepper stayed at h ome by herself for the first time this weekend and she didn't mess up the house. I was very proud of my little girl. She got a bone for that. I had to explain to my mother what an a theist was again, but other than that it was a pretty good day yesterday with her. We went and saw both of my grandmothers. One is in a nursing home for a hip replacement and the other is in a different home for other health reasons. Both of them are doing well now. Maybe they will get to come home soon. Hope to be able to do it again real soon.
