The Rhetoric That Shaped The Abortion Debate
I learned listening to the interview and reading the article, that abortion was just legalized 38years ago. I remember learning about abortion in elementary, but didn’t understand what it really was. I learned and understood more as I got older.
I am really amazed at how much journalist Linda Greenhouse knows about abortion. It seems as if, that first time she read about abortion in a magazine or the newspaper, she made it her life and felt the need to learn more about abortion. I am more against abortion than for it. I honestly believe that no child’s life should be taken away, under any circumstance. To me abortion is legal murder.
I feel for women who got pregnant resulting from a bad situation, such as rape. I also feel for women who were surprised with an unplanned pregnancy and cannot afford their child, as mentioned in the interview quoted by a different journalist. But just because a child is a result of a bad situation or has parents whom cannot afford them, does not mean their lives should be taken away. I think that a child should be able to be brought in the full term and if the women are in either situation listed above, should place their child up for adoption. There are many women has been trying to have kids forever and just cannot have any, turn to adoption as the last result. Having a baby is a blessing and it is a bigger blessing being able to adopt a child. Taking a child out of a bad situation and giving the child a life he/she deserves is better than no life at all. I really wish that the state would make it illegal again.
I understand why some women got abortions before it was legalized. The host had mentioned that doctors used to give women some kind of pill, which caused their child to have deformation. I understand the reason of abortion in that situation, because having a child with no arms or feet or any deformation, would be a challenge and expensive for anyone. It would better to stop suffrage before it even starts. Without money and the right care, the child will suffer badly.
Abortion is a discussed and debated every day. Everyone one has different reasons why they pick abortion for their pregnancy. The interview and article helps, to understand the reasons why they did not allow abortion back in the old days and the pros/cons of it being legalized and the procedure.
Make-up and Hot Pink Toenails – Not Just a Girl Thing
This article talks about how a little boy can get in big trouble for acting like girl or even doing anything girly. It also talks about situations where some little boy or teenager was judged for just having doing one little girly thing. Like the football player who got kicked off the team for wearing pink cleats during breast cancer month, and the little boy who made headline for liking pink dresses. I really don’t believe it is necessary to beat a child either. The article has a good purpose.
You should not ever allow any situation with your child, to go public. That is your child; you should love him/her for them and try to protect him/her from as much as possible. No I do not believe in allowing my little boy or anyone else little boy to play with girl toys. I do believe in allowing them to learn and explore things for themselves. Parents raise their children the way they were raised. Parents want to teach their child right from wrong and the difference between girl things/boy things.
There was an ad mention in the article done by J. Crews implying the idea that “Pink isn’t just for girls, just as blue isn’t just for boys”. He is basically implying that colors have no gender. Boys should be able to do what girls can do, just as girls can do what boys do. I really understand that, just because a guy wears or like pink, yellow, purple or any girl color, does not mean he is gay. Everyone has a reason for what they wear and why a color is their favorite. It is like girls can do something or wear masculine colors without a problem or any judgments. But as soon a guy is seen doing something or wearing something feminine, he is automatically judged, harassed, and called names. It is just something that does not need to be pressed on kids, they just what to know what’s what and explore it for their selves. They are curious about everything. If they don’t like or get what they need out of the experiment, they may not ever do it again, especially if something bad happened during the exploring. Kids will be kids!
