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

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
