abortion

My views on abortion. I know many people think that abortions are killing babies but I don’t consider an “egg” a baby until it starts developing human form. I will admit that when I hear things about young girls getting abortions because of foolish mistakes, I look down on them. I do think that every person has their own right to decide whether they want an abortion or not. But I think that people, who have sex without a condom and or without a birth control, obviously know the repercussions of their actions and don’t really care about how it’s going to be affecting their lives. I think that those people don’t deserve abortions if they don’t care enough about preventing them. I think there should be harsher laws for those who solely got pregnant because they didn’t do anything to prevent it.  I think it’s immature and sick to use a surgery as your first backup plan from getting pregnant from lazy sex.  I don’t think its wrong for certain people to get abortions but I do judge some of the people who do. I know accidents happen but if you do nothing to prevent the accident then I don’t feel sorry for you. Women who get pregnant from rape, or get pregnant and then their husband die, or they get a divorce during the pregnancy or their single mothers, those women who want abortions shouldn’t have to go through such a process. They should be able to get the procedure when they see fit.
 I think that we should do better things to prevent the need for abortion. Like make birth control and condoms cheaper and educate people (guys and girls) more on what they can do to prevent a pregnancy. I think that those people who are pro life have no business telling other people what they can or can’t do with their body. Just like how its no0t appropriate to comment on a how a woman is raising her child or family it’s none of your business to tell her what she can or can’t do with her future baby. Yea I might look down on young girls who get abortions because they were being lazy or ignorant but all I’m doing is placing an opinion on those people. It’s not in any way my business to say whether certain people can or can’t have abortions.
Having all these bans and restrictions on abortions is only making it unsafe for women as well as her unborn child. If people are so upset about women “killing” her unborn child then they shouldn’t be making all these laws and restrictions that could kill the women and her child. I’m 100% pro choice.

Final Death penalty post

The abolishment of the death penalty in Illinois was both just and unjust. I believe that in some ways the death penalty is needed to show that death crimes will not be permitted and we will not stand for the involuntarily taking of another life. The problem with the death penalty isn’t the death penalty itself; it’s the death penalty’s system. 1 in every 7 inmates on death row is proven innocent. I think that if ONE innocent man is falsely accused and then sentenced to death, then the whole system should not be in place. No innocent people should have their lives taken from them, and for innocent people to die while being accused of such brutal crimes, is completely 100% unjust. The death penalty should only be in place if there is 100% reassurance that the person being accused has committed that crime. I personally don’t think that anyone, even an authority figure has any right to end a life. They didn’t put us into this world so what gives them the right to take us out? There are certain brutal crimes I’ll hear of and at that moment im just thinking, “that person is sick and they deserve to die for they did.” But our personal feelings about someone and about their actions shouldn’t be what determine whether another person gets to live or not. Nothing gives us the right to take another person’s life. Yes I do think that certain people deserve to die for their crimes, but I do not think that certain people should be allowed to determine the life another being. When I say that I think that certain people deserve to die for their crimes, I’m not suggesting the death penalty. I’m suggesting karma, if you rape someone and then kill them, then I think that you do deserve to die, not by death penalty but maybe your hit by a train, or you drown. Life kills you. Not other human beings who falsely think that they are given the right to choose the fate of someone else’s life. Life in prison is enough to punish someone. We as human beings deserve to live and experience life. Whether that is locked up in a prison or in the outside world. I think that is wrong of us as human beings to be so hypocritical and take someone else’s life right after we preach about how wrong it is to take a life. I’m embarrassed that we have this system and I’m happy that it has been abolished.

The Pathetic Divorce Rates in America

Divorce rates are definitely a huge problem in America right now. More and more people are getting divorced than ever before. Look at Kim kardashian, she was just married 2 months and she’s already getting a divorce. In America 50% of first marriages last and 65% of second marriages don’t. Nevada has the most known divorces. Most people go to Nevada to have a quick divorce and move on with their lives. It’s been proven that the younger a couple is to get married the more likely they are to get divorced. Race also makes a difference in our divorce rates. 11% of African American couples end in divorce, 10% of whites end in divorce, and 8% of Hispanics end in divorce. I think the reason our race plays a part in our divorce rates is because of our cultural differences. Every culture has some similar morals, yes, but the way we behave within our culture is not a different than other cultures. I think that it’s sad how many marriages end in divorce. It’s extremely heart breaking and sad for everyone involved. Especially the children. Growing up without having both parents in the same household is extremely difficult and all the arguing it causes gives the children stress, low self-esteem, they are also more likely to have problems with their relationships if their parents had problems. I know that my parents divorce did nothing but help me in a way. I fight with my parents all the time because of their divorce but their divorce makes me want to really try to make all my relationships work because I want to have a stable family someday and be happy. I don’t want to put my kids through any negative if I can help it. People need to really think about what they’re doing and weigh out the pros and cons of their decisions. Marriage is supposed to last a life time. Not just a few years or until someone decided to give up. Think about what you think you will want 10 years from then, and see if that matches up with your partner. If not, then you most likely will grow apart for wanting different things.
