You're Not Pro-Life Unless You're Pro-Choice

Being pro-choice is the only way you can be pro-life.

You're Not Pro-Life Unless You're Pro-Choice

It's 2019, we have the iPhone XR, cars that drive themselves, headphones that are Bluetooth operated. The list of advancements goes on and on but for some reason, we as a nation do not accept medical advancements if they aid women.

By banning or severely restricting abortion, like 28 states are currently trying to do, lives will not be saved. Hence, by you not supporting abortion you are not pro-life. If you don't support abortion you're saying that women's lives and choices don't matter and that you would rather them go to jail and leave the child in the foster system.

Banning abortion will only ban safe medical procedures. If it is banned women will just resort to more dangerous and life-threatening procedures.

If you were really pro-life you would be on the adoption list to save one of the 400,000 children in the foster care system. You would fight against colleges charging tens of thousands of dollars for tuition when they could offer lower rates. You would try in any way shape or form to help one of the fifteen million children living in poverty in America. You would fight for better gun control to protect children in schools from mass shooters.

What you wouldn't do is try to take away peoples right to chose what they do with their bodies.

It is an absolute surprise that so much of America is living in the dark ages thinking women's bodies should be controlled by men. Men in government are the ones who would be least affected by this legislation but for some reason, they're the only voices we hear.

To prevent these type of insane, uneducated ideas from spreading we need to implement more programs for kids to learn. Schools should have real sex education programs that teach kids about contraception and the choices they have to prevent unwanted pregnancy. We should also teach more men and women that aren't expecting children how to be good parents and raise children to succeed and not just live.

Kids are our future and we need to treat them that way. So from now on if you say you're pro-life you better mean you're pro-choice.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
