I Am A Pro-Life Feminist

And that doesn't make me any less of one than pro-choice feminists.

I Am A Pro-Life Feminist

Yes, you read that correctly. I am a pro-life feminist, and that doesn't make me any less of a feminist than you are. I don't believe the right to an abortion should be an issue related to the feminism movement.

I will stand up for equal rights for every human being, and that is why I am both pro-life and a feminist. I believe a human is a human life-form at the very moment of conception. That is when he or she is given all their DNA and traits that makes them who they are. This is another human being inside of a much older human being, and that doesn't give women the right to kill the other person inside their body. This is a matter of which is true, factual information--what science says or my beliefs; it isn't about women's equality and rights.

At the same time, I want women to have equal pay as men if they hold the same job at the same company with the same degree and experience. That should be logical, but some people don't seem to get that through their heads.

I want women to be treated with respect. "Boys will be boys" is an invalid answer to stereotyping a woman as a "sexual image." This is wrong. I want to be able to wear a normal tank-top and bend over to pick something up that I dropped without having to worry if there is someone around. I want to be seen as an intelligent young lady who is willing to work hard on other things beside having kids and cleaning house. If I want to be the first female President of the United States, you can bet I will work for it just as hard as a man will. If I want to be the one who finds the cure to cancer, you can bet I will work for it just as hard as a man will. If I want to be the owner of a billion-dollar company, you can bet I will work for it just as hard as a man will. Who knows, I might even work harder than a man will.

I want women to have social equality and rights as citizens of this great nation. I don't believe the same as pro-choice feminists on abortions , but that hasn't anything to do with what feminism is truly about at its core. According to dictionary.com, feminism is defined by, "thedoctrineadvocatingsocial,political,andallotherrightsofwomen equaltothoseofmen." Do men have other human growing inside of them? No. It's another human, which isn't you as a female.

I stand for women's rights, equality, and the rights for all humans.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
