Why I Hate This Election, From Someone Who Is Pro-Life

Is there even a right choice?

Why I Hate This Election, From Someone Who Is Pro-Life
babbyy.com

Quite honestly, there are a lot of reasons to hate this election. An issue that has always been important to me is abortion.

Growing up Christian, I was taught that abortion was wrong. I went to numerous conventions where I was informed what happens and how it happens. It can be brutal, and it was something that I definitely think needed to stop. Of course, there are certain medical issues where I can understand that it may be necessary. When I was 16, I signed a pact to always vote pro-life first. This article is not meant to argue on if abortion is right or wrong. All I am saying is that this election really sucks for someone who is pro-life.

Donald Trump doesn't agree with abortion. Hillary Clinton does. However, voting for Donald Trump just because he is pro-life means that I will be voting for someone who is OK with hurting other people. He wants to try to get rid of all of the Muslims in the United States and all of the immigrants. It is not OK for him to degrade someone for their religion or for their ethnicity. He also wants a war on ISIS, which means that so, so many people will die. So really, the question is, do I vote for someone who is OK killing unborn babies or do I vote for someone who is okay with hurting people who are already here and someone who is okay with getting the US into another war?

Honestly, I'm not sure. Either way, I'm voting for someone who goes against what I believe in. That is scary for me.

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?

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?

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.
