Ruling with an Iron Fist

               What a post! I couldn’t agree more with my classmate’s blog entitled “Dissent and Coercion.” The perfect description of our U.S. government: “a corrupt, double dealing, thief, stealing from the poor and the middle class to make their rich buddies richer, passing crippling and invasive legislation that contradicts and disposes of the constitution, all the while lying to the American Public to promote its own agenda of greed and world domination.” I couldn’t have said it better myself. While these claims my come across as aggressive and harsh, is it not true? It most certainly is true.

                It seems people are becoming increasingly numb to the reality of U.S. government’s growing control over our lives. Rather than just focusing on the protection and overall wellbeing of our country, government has become a domineering entity solely focused on how much of our lives they can control. Who cares what we want? They make us do whatever they want us to. They force laws and requirements on us whether we like it or not. They alone choose what children are taught in school, whether we agree with what they teach or not. They tell us what to do and when to do it. They tie our hands and give us no options. Our government has strayed from the Constitution and tried to take on so much more than they should be allowed. Why can’t we just stick to the way it was in the beginning? It worked well then, and it would work well now.

                We need to become more aware of the governments control, and we need to stand up for our own rights when we can. We need to get back to the basics, and the government needs to be put right back in its place.

Choose Life

What is abortion? Although some people view the option of abortion as a necessity, you have to look at it for what it is and accept the cold, hard truth. Abortion is killing an unborn child. Some people use the excuse that it is just a fetus; not even fully human yet. That is not the case. Even at the very moment that the child is first conceived, it is still fully alive, fully human; it’s just not fully developed.

                There are also young women who have aborted their child just months before the due date. Surely those mothers had to understand what they were doing; killing their unborn baby. Or maybe that’s just it; maybe those mothers don’t understand the magnitude of what they’re really doing. I’m sure there have been many cases where the aftermath of an abortion has practically ruined the mother. She realizes what she has done and wishes she could take it back; surely she wouldn’t do it if she understood what she was doing

               
               The thought of abortion breaks my heart. When you truly think about it, why would there ever be a reason to abort a child? There simply isn’t. Whether the pregnancy was due to rape, the result of a naive high school student’s bad decision, or any other reason, there is no acceptable reason to abort a child.  The mother is pregnant, and now has the responsibility and duty to bring that baby into this world; no matter if the pregnancy was her own fault or not. Yes, pain comes with giving birth, but it’s something that women go through and come out of all the time. No matter what the situation, the child should be brought into the world. If the mother doesn’t want the child, put it up for adoption. That child will give someone complete joy, even if it’s not the biological parents; and could even be a blessing and answer to prayer to the husband and wife who are unable to have a child of their own. There is a way that the devastation of an unwanted pregnancy can be turned into a blessing in disguise. Think about it.
