Bishops Denounce Abortion - 2 views

  •  
    The U.S. Roman Catholic bishops issued a pastoral letter that would criticize abortion and end the disgrace of having an abortion under law.
  •  
    My mother was born to an unwed 15 year old in 1940. My mother was given away in adoption to a family member. My grandmother wanted to have my mom (she had fallen in love with a service man who was killed in German) but her mom wanted her to have an abortion. It was illegal in those days and my grandmother refused to go to the "special doctor." So she was shipped away to a home for girls like her in Chicago to have my mom. My story is different then most. I am a product of a saved baby. Without my grandmother fighting for my mom, myself, my brother, my children, we would be dead. It is harder to speak to a child that survived abortion. No one has the right to tell me that we do not have the right to live. I am so grateful that abortion was illegal. I am so grateful that my beautiful children are alive.We are blessed.

    Whenever this issue comes up one thing always pops into my head. My body, my choice. I am a female that was born and raised in the Catholic church and had to listen to this stuff for years. It never made sense to me why so many people try revoking this right from women. If you don't support it, fine. However, to take the option away from women who do want abortion as an option opens up even more negative doors. When women do not have a safe environment to discuss these options and the operation itself is made illegal then women who are desperate are more likely to go to back alley doctors or try to perform their own abortion. This often leads to more deaths among women whether it be from a botched, cheap operation or a horrific infection. It should also be noted that each woman is different. They might want the option of abortion for various reasons. Perhaps something is wrong with the child, and the doctors note it won't live past a couple of days, maybe the woman was raped and ended up pregnant, perhaps the fetus was dying and was also killing the mother, perhaps the woman just doesn't want children. You never know the circumstances of why a woman chooses to have an abortion, and they should never be judged for it or have that right revoked.

Men Can Be Victims of Abuse, Too - The National Domestic Violence Hotline - 0 views

  •  
    Men being victim to domestic violence against another woman, or possibly another man, has been laughed at by society for quite some time. The ability for men to come out and share their abuse stories or get away from an abusive relationship needs to be encouraged more. They don't need to always be tough and "man up", that is a very old fashioned way of thinking, and needs to be reviewed.

  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    that is a big problem in the world today no one see it the same why. i don't agree with it.
  •  
    This site has all the facts that describe why planned parenthood is helpful and necessary in the United States. Every woman has a right to her own body.
  •  
    I believe a woman has the right to her own body and that the government should have no control. I think abortion should be every woman's right.
  •  
    This is such a controversial topic but I believe women should have a choice even if it may not be the "right" choice. It's her body and she should make the decisions.
  •  
    I don't disagree with abortion but there should be a line that can't be crossed. At 6 weeks old a baby's heartbeat can be detected. It's not just "her body" anymore, there is a living human in there.

Racist Arizona Law - 4 views

  •  
    The state that brought you the chain-gang enforcing Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, the "show me your papers" immigration law, and racial profiling is proud to present its latest hit: a law prohibiting sex and raced-based abortion, based on lies and stereotypes about black and Asian women. The woman and doctor must also sign an affidavit stating the reason the woman wants an abortion has nothing to do with the race or sex of the embryo or fetus.
  •  
    Wow, I honestly had no idea this was going on. The law prohibits abortions based on the sex or race of the fetus or embryo, This is an extreme injustice! I can't believe we still face this kind of inequality.

    Prohibiting gay marriage is unconstitutional discrimination. However others argue that altering the real meaning of marriage between a man and a woman, will weaken a threatened institution and may lead lto polygumous (having more than one wife or husband) and interspecies marriages.

    Should gay marriage be legal? There are many pros and cons to this topic and in our society today it is a huge social justice issue. Should we stick with the traditional way of life where a man and woman get married and have children, or should we branch out and allow everyone the freedom to love and marry whoever they want?

I Am A Woman Who Went To The Women's March And The March for Life. The Differences Were... - 0 views

  •  
    After looking at this article, it is clear to me to see what side the author is on, although she tries to be incognito with it. She, of course, shames the Womens March, and obviously is on the Pro-Life side of the spectrum. What people don't realize is, the women's march wasn't all about abortion and trump, it was standing up for other things.

    This link shows everything wrong with our world right now. I am constantly outraged by the wage gap, and how employers are allowed to get away with it. It blows my mind that so many people claim that men and women are CURRENTLY treated the same way, when clearly they are not. p.s i actually book marked this link on my computer, that way i can send it to anyone who disagrees.
  •  
    This has been an ongoing issue for us women since day one. inequality in employment, wages and opportunities is extremely unjust. I think the more its brought to the surface and the more we show we still haven't forgotten, we will eventually get somewhere. Just like when we all came together for women's rights on inauguration day :)
  •  
    Women's right are changing. Women's need equal opportunities in workplace and education. This link is showing us how unfair is society with females. Hopefully in the future everybody is going to be equal and we will have the same opportunities.
  •  
    It seems that for all of the changes that have been made, a lot still needs to be done. There is no excuse for our country or any other country to still be dealing with unequal rights for women. The violence is disgusting, as well as discrimination and unequal pay. Thank you for sharing.
  •  
    As a woman, I believe we have definitely come a long way. However, I believe we are not completely equal to males yet, which we should be. More changes need to be done.
  •  
    The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.
  •  
    It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.
