An Open, Aggressive Letter To Pro-Lifers
priestsforlife.org

For those pro-lifers out there working really hard to protect unborn children, I really hope you don't scoff at all those children after they grow up. You know, the ones that were never adopted or financially supported and end up having to go through the nightmare that is the foster care system. The ones that will probably end up having to use stamp cards in line at HEB. Those people that you really felt needed to be born, you now judge and claim they're ripping off your taxes. Let's close abortion clinics, yes, "make people live with their consequences." But isn't a baby supposed to be a miracle and not a consequence? And if so, then you're recognizing the unfortunate situation that it would be to have to put a child through foster care or attempt to take care of a child that you can't take care of. By making people live with their consequences, you forget that the unborn baby is both the "consequence" and a "person" that is going to also live with those consequences.

Please don't bring that, "they should have a right to fight for their life" bull-crap here.You should be more willing to fight for their lives, knowing they're defenseless children entering a world with no mother or father that can provide for them, like was naturally provided to you. Fighting for their lives before they're born and not while they're fully conscious beings is a joke. By just being born to parents that wanted you and could provide for you, you're already 10 steps ahead of a person that wasn't.

However, by all means, keep crying about the immorality of abortion clinics and sex and people entitled to your tax dollars. Please, continue being entitled enough to your opinion, to force others to live the way you want, even though that probably will not be possible for them because they aren't as privileged as you. Please continue not wanting anything to do with the people that need help and call those people "lazy" and "entitled," even though they will have to fight just to make up for the financial support system that you were born with.

"People have fought and gone from homeless to famous." Well, yes, good for those people, but do we really live in a system where everyone is allowed to succeed? I mean, seriously? Who is going to flip burgers and work for big businesses if everybody has a degree? Just the teenagers, right? That's beside the fact that most of those jobs are filled by middle age adults. However, I guess they're all just lazy, right? If you're capable of putting time and energy into closing abortion clinics, defunding planned parenthood, and so on, then I would think there should be an equal push to love those who are already born and need you.

If you can't do that, then you're not pro-life. You're pro-"others taking responsibility for their actions." Which is ironic, considering you fail to realize the negative impact you're having on other's lives by making contraception and abortion harder to obtain.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
