United, We Can Stand.

It's amazing how divided people are when it comes to abortion. Sometimes it's hard to see through all the mudslinging--which is completely normal for any political stance, really. 

And yet, everyone, or I should say most people, on both sides of the abortion debate--and even those in the middle can and do have common ground and common beliefs. Don't believe me? Think it's impossible to get along or share beliefs with "them"?


Well let me ask you a few questions:


  • Do you believe that women and children should be supported?
  • Do you think that all children should be and could be born wanted, loved, and cared for?
  • Are you sick how society seems to degrade pregnant women?
  • Do you believe that women deserve better than the circumstances and polices that are currently in place?
  • Do you think that policies should be improved to benefit the lives of women, children, and families?
  • Do you believed that everyone should be more educated on the topic of sex?

Chances are that you answered some of these questions, if not all of them, with the same answer as your supposed "counterpart."



And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Here are some more questions for you to answer:


  • Do you think that forced abortions are wrong?
  • Do you think that forced adoptions are wrong?
  • Do you believe that it is wrong to coerce or pressure or manipulate someone into having an abortion?
  • Do you think that it is wrong to coerce or pressure or manipulate a woman into giving her child up for adoption?
  • Do you love women--regardless of whether or not they choose to be mothers?
Once again, you are probably answering these questions in the same way that someone with differing views on abortion would answer them.


There is some common ground in this issue. There's a lot more than I am posting here, I'm am sure.


If we can all unite on these common goals, I believe that we can all actually achieve something. Both sides will only benefit from unison. Of course there are issues that divide both sides (or else we'd all be on the same side 100% and there would be no debate whatsoever). 


Don't you think that it is possible to unite with your fellow man, woman, and child to make life better and safer for all? Don't you think that reducing the maternal mortality rate is an amazing goal? Don't you think that every woman deserves to have the healthiest pregnancy possible (should she decide to become a mother)?


Stop dividing yourselves, people. The last time people were so divided about who was and was not deserving of certain rights, or deserving the title of "person," the division ended in a war in which a huge number of lives were lost. Let's not go through that again. Let us be better. Let us learn from history. Let's work together, not fall apart. 


United, we can stand. Divided, we will fall.

Introduction Blog Post

I am a simple soul that likes to do research. I love reading, and I pride myself in finding accurate information for my posts. If you spot something that is incorrect, please let me know.

I also want to say that I am not a doctor. I'm also not a lawyer. So don't treat me like either. I cannot, and do not diagnose. I cannot and do not perform in legal practice. I am, however, in college and aim to get my Law degree. But until I have that, just know that i am not a Lawyer. Not a professional in any way,really. I suppose I am more comparable to someone from Wikipedia. I use many sources for my articles to try to make the best articles that I can.

My blog will also discuss issues in regards to pregnancy, child rearing, family problems, abortion, adoption, and the benefits/risks/facts about all of these things.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I hope that you enjoy my blog.
