Say What?

I was reading in the local weekly tabloid about a proposed abortion ban in Ohio that really goes to the extremes. I'm talking about including charging women with felonies who go to another state for an abortion (and those who assist them) when they return to our "lovely" state. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "Woo-hoo, suck those bad boys out!" by any stretch of the imagination. I can't imagine anyone who thinks that abortions are the best thing since sliced bread. In fact I think everyone would be much happier if there wasn't any need for abortions.

Except for the right wing bigots who are trying to tell all of us exactly how to live our lives!

That is right, the ones who oppose abortion the most are actually right in there making sure that woman after woman needs them. How is that you may ask. Simple, by the mere fact that they also want to deny ANY sort of education on how to prevent pregnancy from reaching anyone.

I believe this is so the can continue their scare campaigns to score not only votes, but money from gullible people who actually think that these people care about them. Guess what! The fat cats don't care about anyone but themselves. When Muffy finds herself in the family way you can bet that after slipping the family doc an extra 20 or 30 grand the problem will just. . . disappear!

But when Crystal gets herself knocked up because A)nobody told her she had to take the pills everyday B)her boyfriend had no clue how to use the condom properly or C) she really believed the fallacy that she couldn't get pregnant the first time then either she will continue into her cycle of poverty or have to scrape up money for a coat hanger solution that will probably end up killing/ maiming her.

Does that sound anything at all like a place you want to live?

Here is a brief list of the things that I would like to see taught besides the obvious put a damn condom on it or go home and jack off!
1)That you better be stable before having a kid. Children don't provide stability, they rock the boat. You better be sure you won't sink
2)Men lie to get sex. We will say/ do just about anything to get some so if you don't take steps to be informed and protect yourself, then no one will (and that goes for young homosexual guys too!)
3)You better love yourself before you go out and have sex. Sex won't validate you or make you feel better about yourself if you already hate yourself.
4)Be sure you know the real reason that you are going to do it. If that "true" reason doesn't make you feel comfortable then WAIT!

This is just a small listing and I better step off my soap box now before I send my blood pressure soaring.
