Abortions

So I've recently had a very intimate relationship with the subject of abortion.  It's quite personal and absolutely horrifying.  It's something no human being should ever be faced with, and it's unfortunate that you can't just tell your belly, "Hey, I'd like to not be pregnant, so how about not being pregnant anymore?"  Unfortunately, that's just not the way it works.

Whether you're pro-choice or pro-life you probably know someone who's had one... you may not even know it.  It's not exactly a light topic of conversation.  "Oh hey, so ya, this one time I got an abortion..."  Ya, probably not something you hear very often.

I'm religious, so I guess I'm somewhat of a paradox being pro-choice and all.  I don't believe life starts at conception.  I guess I kind of view it like if you want to believe a fetus a human, then you may as well believe sperm are humans too.  Yes, there comes a point in the pregnancy when abortion is just out of the question and completely appalling, but I guess to each his own.  I can't stop someone from having a third trimester abortion... but really, if you've come that far, why not just go all the way.  I mean, come on now.  If you don't want the child give it up for adoption.

But early on in the pregnancy, before the fetus actually becomes a baby, when it's still forming a brain and a heart and all that important stuff necessary for living outside of the womb, I certainly don't see anything wrong with nipping it in the bud.  As horrible as it may sound, and as unChristianly as it may be...  I see nothing wrong with terminating an accidental pregnancy.  Accidents happen, and being pregnant is EXTREMELY hard on some people...  Some people have an easy pregnancy, some people basically have the flu for 9 months.

Either way, I'm 100% pro-choice.  I respect other's opinions and can understand where you're coming from if you're pro-life, but there's really no need to push your opinions on others...

If only we could all just quit giving a shit about what other people are doing and concentrate on ourselves, wouldn't the world be a better place?

Good Things Come to Those Who've Been Cheated On, Bad Things Come to Those Who Cheat

It has come to my attention that my low-down, dirty-rotten, scumbag, cheater of an ex-boyfriend is having a pretty rough go.

Since we'd gotten together, roughly three years ago, I'd gotten him $1000.00 out of debt, and a few thousand out of the hole. I took him out of his parents house and away from the drugs and alcohol. He was completely self-sufficient and had a pretty decent job. And to top it all off, I'd helped him get into college.

Now, seven months after the break-up, he's over $20,000 in debt. Moving back in with his parents and he's balls deep in drugs and alcohol. He has no job and no prospects. He also dropped out of college and has no direction in life...

The sad thing is, I'm doing and feeling better than I ever did when I was with him.

He was the one that cheated and fucked everything up... but I still can't help but feel bad for the stupid twat. I guess that's what separates the good guys from the bad guys.

I guess the moral of the story is, cheaters never prosper... Well sometimes they do, but is it really worth the risk?

Break Ups

I don't really think they should call them break ups... I think they should call them break downs, cause that's definitely how it feels.

My boyfriend recently got rip-roaring drunk and thought it would be a good idea to fuck his best friend's sister.  Blame it on the alcohol?  No way.  There's never an excuse for cheating.

We've been dating for over two years now.  We lived together.  The majority of the things I own are also his things.  It's honestly just a giant, stinking mess.

To top it all off, his best friend's creeping in and making the situation so so so much more confusing that it needs to be.  It would be healthy to stay single at this point in time, but it's hard when he's just so darn cute.

It's just a really, really bad situation.
