I've been Pro-Life for many years. Not your "typical" Pro-Lifer either.
I recently joined a program called "Stand True," an amazing organization dedicated to the anti-abortion movement. I admire their stance on abortion and would love to see their goals accomplished.
Being a Pro-Lifer isn't all butterflies and rainbows. Expect weird remarks and eyebrow's raising. Especially on October 23, the national day of Silence.
This past year I participated in that movement along with a few other kids at my public high school and let me tell you, it was the weirdest, out-of-body experience ever. I literally sat back in class and could see everyone look at me with my ducktape headband and decked out shirt:
Pretty rad outfit might I add (I made it XD)
So anyway, handing them my flyer stating that I am Pro-Life and standing in for an aborted child was quite awkward. Teachers giving me eyebrows, "friends" whispering to others about my stance. It's weird knowing that all these people think that I'm "weird" and "freaky" for standing up for what I believe in. They think I'm anti-Feminist and that I shouldn't be an "American" because "real Americans have the right to choose what they want."
Well, Feminist? You're AMAZING! Keep striving for what you want. I'm not bagging on what anyone believes or what they think is right.
Heck, if you believe that Satan will strike you dead if you say "HOLYSMOOLEYPOLE!" then cool for you. (Although, I haven't met anyone quite like that.)
Anyway, what I'm trying to say, is just because I'm Pro-Life doesn't make me any weirder than someone else. I'm also Anti-Bush, so does that make me less of an American as well? I'm also against the requirement to have 2 years of a foreign language to pass high school. Does that make me freaky?
Pro-Life is amazing. I believe in it. I believe that once you decide to have sex and you find out by that Albertsons-bought pregnancy kit that you're pregnant, you have no right to take away the life of that child. The moment a child becomes a life is at its CONCEPTION. Not it's "out of the vagina" stage. Roe vs. Wade is a load of bull.
Rape? Yes, you have the right to an abortion because you didn't ask for the child. Must it be proved you were raped? YES. And it can't be one of those "Oh, it's six months into the pregnancy and oh, btw, I was raped". Nuhuh. Ain't working girlfriend.
Unprotected sex or a slipped condom? You're right, you don't deserve the right to have a child, but none-the-less, give it up for adoption. At least you're not murdering someone.
That's my rant for today. Maybe next time a rant on Bush?
