What does it mean to be Pro Choice

in the wake of current events...

Barbara Lee

Pro choice is simply defined as being for the ability to make a choice.

To choose what you eat

To choose what you wear

To choose where you go

To choose where you live

To choose who you spend time with

To choose who you don't spend time with

To choose when you leave a room

To choose when to start over

To choose why you work for what you do

To choose why you speak up.

What pro choice does not mean is to kill unborn fetuses.

Pro choice is more than one action.

Pro choice is more than one topic, current event, or situation.

Pro choice is more about freedom, than freedom itself.

Pro choice is more than me.

Pro choice is not killing babies.

Pro choice is not for white men in legislative positions to tell me how I can use my body

Pro choice is your right to make decisions.

Pro choice is your right to do what you please.

Pro choice is your right to change your mind.

Pro choice is your right to say, "I do not want..."

Pro choice is NOT forcing the hands of young girls who are preyed upon because of pedophilia.

Pro choice is NOT forcing traumatic events to be relived by rape victims.

Pro choice is not forcing a women to endure hours of labor while knowing that that child will not be alive.

Pro choice is my right to say, "I believe a child is a blessing, but you, girl/lady/woman, you make your own decisions."

Pro choice is not investigating the traumatic loss of life where the mother has no control.

You make your decisions for you.

I make my decisions for me.

He does not make decisions for you.

Pro choice is your right to choose. Your given right to choose.

So, when's your next election?

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

Missouri State University

Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
