Abortion; To deliberately end a human pregnancy. The “tea" of the country. To be banned, forever illegal, and taking a right a Woman has to her body away. Between 1970 and 2015 there were approximately 45.7 million abortions performed in the United States. That's 45.7 million children that completely avoided the U.S foster care system from the feeling of being unwanted, abused, or growing out of the system and becoming homeless.

Women who have an abortion they are not monsters, but humans making a very hard choice. A choice they should have the right to have. Why do you woman get an abortion? A million dollar question. Between the years of 1987 and 2004, the woman who had an abortion was because it was going to be strongly interfering between their education, their work, or taking care of their dependents, they simply could not afford it, or already had children and couldn't possibly take on another. You wouldn't buy something that you can't afford, that would put you in debt. Why would you bring a child into the world knowing that you couldn't afford it. You can't force somebody to be a mother, you can't force a man to be a father. You can't force people to do things that they simply do not want to do.

Adoption is always a choice, but sometimes people don't want to have to give something up, knowing they're out there in the world, but not part of theirs. That's psychologically taunting. 25 to 45 percent of children in the U.S foster care have reported or admitted to being abused. Those are only the ones who've admitted to the sexual, physical, and emotional abuse children have had to deal with while trying to find a forever family.

Abortion is a horrible thing, you are taking a human life, but you are taking a human life before it has a chance to become human. A baby cannot survive outside the womb until it's 24 weeks, and only has about a 40 to 50 percent of living, with extreme medical care. The fetus doesn't feel pain during the procedure, most doctors say that a fetus hasn't produced pain receptors and the parts of the brain that alerts pain until during third trimester. Most abortions are performed less then 12 weeks into the pregnancy. Woman believed to get it over with as quick as possible, because it is a horrible thing, but they made they choice.


Abortion shouldn't be taken lightly, it's a long hard decision that woman should have right to make. We are the ones responsible, we aren't taking the easy way out. We are giving the 45.7 million babies the easy way out, because we can't give them the life it deserves.

When you take away abortion services, women will often go to extreme (dangerous) measures to get them

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
