Silent Protest

I'd like to protest the pro-life protesters, the ones that sit outside Planned Parenthood for 40 days at a time and kneel like they're doing penance for the poor heathens using the clinic. My protest would be based on how many of those protestors have made room in their own home and hearts for a child in need of foster care or adoption. It's easy to be against something when you also don't have to fight for all the children that didn't have a choice in the matter. Thad told me what I would put on a picket sign would be to much to print in a large enough font for someone to get the point while driving past. So instead of standing beside those nasty protestors I'm just going to cyber protest.  Like so:




There, I feel much better taking a cyber-stand for something that has been bugging me for at least a week.

And for the record, since I'm sure one or two people that read my blog will probably be appalled that I take pro-choice stance, let me be clear:  I'm not pro-abortion.  I'm pro-sex education.  I'm pro-teaching teenagers about sex and its repercussions instead of telling them to wait until they are married.  And I'm actually in favor of taking action against some individuals that think that having a set of reproductive organs gives them a free account for making as many babies as they like without the means to care for them.

Maybe it's a bit liberal and progressive, but whatever has been happening in our culture that has led to the glamorization of "Teen Moms" is exactly why that Planned Parenthood is needed and necessary.  And why I think they should feed birth control through water fountains in public high schools across the nation.  Vote Swan, 2020!

What the fuck (do you like how I just type it instead of abbreviating it (after 1.5 beers))? Are you running for office? O.K. I will totally vote for you in 2020. Thanks for actually listening to me over a fireside chat long ago (this summer). Let's do it again some time soon!

PRAY FOR COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION!

Babies have to be born before they can be adopted .no it is not a perfect world ,sex education is wonderful and necessary ,but humans are intelligent beings .they have the ability of self control unlike animals.now I'am not saying every pregnancy was preventable by abstinence but %95 were.or horrors like recurring guilt of the mothert hrough out her life(Oh yes it happens)
