Blog About Choice Day At this point in my life, I would never have an abortion. But that is my choice to make. I may change my mind at some point. I've never been pregnant so I can't speak from experience. But I choose and I don't ever want someone else to choose for me to tell me what my morals are Perhaps I can have some people guide my moral path, but I want to choose who those people are, and I want to choose people who have similar moral tastes as my own. What frightens me most about abortion, roe vs. wade, and the right to choose is how easily it's been stripped down until it won't have anything to stand on any more... how easily states are making state decisions that make it hard to uphold roe vs. wade... and how easily access is limited to women who are money-strong, and have powerful support networks. It's being cut down. It's being kept from people, from people who need it the most. Women who don't have the money or time to travel for 8 hours to a location where they can get it done. how few people stand up for it. It's so fragile, and it's so easy to take away. We hardly know what we have, what we cup gently in the soft palms of our hands like a glowing light. We need to shelter it, so it can grow. But we don't even know how it could shatter. We talked a lot about reproductive choice versus reproductive freedom. The first is roe vs. wade. The second is the idea that poor women wouldn't feel obliged to have an abortion just because they couldn't afford to raise a child. I think perhaps it is time we shifted society away from the individual, away from the idea that "everyone has an equal chance to fight for their own profit," and into the idea that "everyone deserves a reasonable living," that "we help the people who need it." If society is evolving, I think it must move beyond the stage of selfishness, and into a stage of charity and sharing and warmth. We no longer HAVE to fight for our survival... why do we still make people fight for theirs? |

***Tbook1 (Time and Chaos, needs a new name, needs to be edited) ***Book of Sun (Just needs to be edited. Tis a Nano novel) ***Book of Whispers part 1 (Does not jive at all with part 2; needs to be rewritten to fit and to have less suckage) ***Book of Whispers part 2 (Needs some rehaul editing, needs some loose ends tied up, needs to fit) ***Book of Whispers part 3 (Needs to be finished... then needs to die o.o Not sure if I need a third part in the series) ***Dium's Story (Needs a point, progress, anything... needs to be integrated into Tbook1, since that is what it is a part of, mainly) ***Trio Story with Jackie and Louise (Maybe we should get together and work on this, guys) ***Demon Story (This is working out pretty good so far. I like the plot, it's a bit convoluted, and the characters are interesting) ***New Witch Story (It's only 30 pages long, dang) ***Dragon's Voices (This has SO much potential! wee!) | |
