Animal Cruelty. July 31, 2011

      We all have to take action and save the animals, because we know they can’t save themselves.

I would like to update everyone by letting you all know that I just got a little girl kitty and I named her Luna! I found her at a barn, and I just HAD to have her. I didn’t want her to get hit by a car, get a disease, or anything of the sort. So, I brought her home on Wednesday (not telling my parents) and she adjusted very well! I finally told my parents on Friday and they absolutely LOVE Luna! (That’s a relief, right?)

Crazy enough, I was supposed to be doing a charity/persuasive for my public speaking class (which fit in well). Animal abuse is something that I feel very strongly about.  I’ve never encountered animal abuse, but I know if I ever did, something WOULD be done. I cannot even begin to think what goes through someone’s head when they abuse and animal. I really hope that if anyone reads this, and they know of someone who has abused an animal, or abused an animal themselves, that it motivates them to reach out and help animals. To help stop animal abuse you can visit www.humanesociety.org or www.aspca.org I hope you all enjoy, and please share any pet stories you all may have! Thanks for reading and make sure you watch my video below of my animal abuse speech! (:

 

 

 

 

Age Differences in Relationships. July 30, 2011

When it comes to relationships, should age really matter?

I’d have to say no to that. You all probably don’t know but, my boyfriend and I started dating when I was 14 and he was 17. I’m just about 18 now and he’s 21, and some people think that it’s wrong because it’s a four year difference. Do we care? Certainly not. I really don’t think that there should be an age limit on love. People should be able to love whoever they want, at whatever age they want. Of course when Corey (my boyfriend) and I get older, people aren’t going to say anything just because we’re older. So being older makes it okay to be four years apart? Apparently.. If age really does matter, then is it wrong that my parents are about 7 years apart?

I think that the ONLY time that age should EVER matter, is if it’s a 15 year old, say with a 25/30 year old. That’s obviously a huge age gap, and there’s something definitely wrong with that. I think that a 5-8year age gap is acceptable, OR if the couple is mature enough to make their own decisions.

Just thought I’d post about this because people always call me jail bait and what not. Soo! Let me know what you think! (:

Abortion… July 17, 2011

Did you know, that there are about 3,700 abortions per day? Shocking fact, huh?

Teenagers and young adults make up most of the percentage of women who get abortions. Why? Because they think that having their child will completely ruin their life. Will it? Probably not. There’s this little thing I’d like to call… Adoption.

Women (teens especially) think that if they just get an abortion, that they can get rid of the “problem” and never have to worry about it ever again. -False, women who have an abortion usually experience PAS (Post Abortion Stress Syndrome). There are also a lot of complications associated with abortion:

• Bladder issues
• Bowel issues
• Breast Cancer
• Ectopic Pregnancies
• Failed abortion
• Hemorrhage
• Hepatitis
• Infection
• Laceration of the Cervix
• Increased chance of miscarriages later
• Perforation of Uterus
• Placenta Previa
• Retained products of conception
• RH Incompatibility
• Severe, Rapid Bleeding
• Sterility

If those aren’t enough scary post-abortion effects, then I don’t know what would be. There are about 5,000-10,000 women that die each year from abortions. You may be wondering, what from? Well, women that die from abortion usually die from infection, hemorrhage, and uterine perforation. Scary, right?

Like I previously stated, there is another alternative to abortion, adoption. If you are deciding on whether or not to have an abortion, think about a family out there in the world that wants a baby so bad, and they can’t have on of their own. Now, wouldn’t they love to have your baby? Chances are, yes.

Ladies out there that are pregnant and considering abortion, please rethink what you’re doing. Don’t be selfish and get rid of this baby because you don’t want YOUR life ruined, think of the baby first. If you have a husband/boyfriend or whatever you may call him, pressuring you about having an abortion tell him what YOU want and don’t be afraid. If he doesn’t support your decision, then he’s not that great anyway. Let him know that you CAN put your baby up for adoption for some other have to have and love, you HAVE options and abortion isn’t one of them.

Some people refuse to accept this statement but, life starts at the moment of conception. Aborting a child is murder, no matter what. The definition of an abortion is “the termination of a human fetus” thus, killing a human being. Is this any different than murdering any other human being? No, it’s not. If you’re bored reading so far, don’t stop! Because below I have video of abortions that is very graphic that you may just want to watch!

In my opinion, there are only 2 reasons why someone should EVER get an abortion. Those two reasons are:

1. The developing baby has a birth defect or a genetic problem that would cause a lot of issues in the future.
2. The pregnancy is harmful to the mother’s health.

ONLY reasons why anyone should EVER get an abortion. Women can get an abortion up to about 6-7 months (23-31 weeks), which is ridiculous. When a baby is developing in this stage they are about 2-3 pounds, they have a strong grip, they can open and close their eyes, they have developed eyelashes and eyebrows, and they can hiccup and swallow. At this point, if the baby would have to be born early (premature), they would probably be able to survive with intensive care. WHAT!? They could SURVIVE!? Yes, and to think that you could KILL a baby at this point? Disgusting.

Below, I have a link of a video that shows abortions and it is VERY GRAPHIC! When I first watched this, my stomach was churning and I was in tears. It saddens me to think how anyone could ever do this to their child. What if that child actually was born? You never know what their future was going to hold. They could be the next president of the US. Who knows? Watchign this video may just change your whole perspective of abortion.
