Yes, I Know What Really Happens During An Abortion — And I Am Still Pro-Choice

People critiqued me for being "pro" abortion; well I got the opportunity to research it and here's what I have to say.

Yes, I Know What Really Happens During An Abortion — And I Am Still Pro-Choice

In Ohio, there was a big ordeal and legislature voting on the "Heartbeat Abortion Bill." Which Dayton Daily News said, "it will be the most restrictive abortion measure in Ohio since the procedure was legalized 46 years ago by the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Roe versus Wade." This bill was passed, making it illegal to perform an abortion if the fetus has a heartbeat. Making it really hard for the soon to be mothers because a heartbeat can be detected early as six weeks. Meaning some women won't even realize they are pregnant and when they do, it will be too late for the chance at abortion in Ohio.

How it was passed was really easy considering the men population also voted on this bill, which I think is unfair because men will not ever have to deal with this bill the way women do. What I don't understand is how women would choose to restrict their women's rights! This gives men an outlet to do more harm.

We are talking about rapists and immature men that can't handle their woman let alone a child.

I had to choose a controversial topic for a speech and I chose abortion because I really wanted to do research on it anyway so I would have the higher ground to the people who want to try and fight me on the issue.

Why? Because some people are educated on the matter!

The research I did focused on two sides, Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. In "Why the Pro-Choice Movement Changed America" by Christina Page, it summarized Pro-Life women as feminists, who, back in the day, described themselves as wanting all births to be planned.

That's right Pro-Lifers, your group was based upon women who did not have sex recreationally, and only had sex for the sole purpose was to have a baby.

I know some people would try and argue that saying that it was back in the day. That's true, now Pro-Life people are broader than that and believe that if you have sex then you are risking a baby. If it were to happen, then the person would have to deal with the consequences.

Which I totally agree with. But I will never classify myself as "pro-life."

I am Pro-Choice all the way because of the fact that all women deal with their own struggles. I want women to be as stress-free as possible. Also, here are some instances that I don't think the Pro-Lifers considered, what about rape, what about females that are unsure of their relationship? Or, what if the female doesn't think she is capable of taking care of a baby? Me, personally, would rather a fetus, who doesn't even have the capability to think, be killed rather than a mother abuse or not take care of a child properly.

And for females that are raped, I personally would commit suicide before I birth a child from a very bad experience like rape. Why would a female want another female who was raped to carry that experience with her for the next nine months?

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
