My Body, My Choice

Indeed it is! You have the right to choose to be responsible for your body and for your lifestyle. You can choose to take birth control and you can choose to be abstinent. You can also choose to be morally accountable for your decisions that could affect your body. 

Your Responsibility – Your life

My body, my choice is not even implying, it is stating if I want to kill my child, I will. Yes, it is your body and you have a DUTY to be responsible. You have a duty to be a loving, caring, and kind adult who chooses to live her life in a way that she doesn’t get pregnant when she doesn’t want to be. 

Accountability

“My Body, My Choice” is probably one of the most entitled things I have read. It’s as if you are deciding if you will have the coffee or cappuccino, there is no emotion in those words, just a simple decision. It is hard for me to believe that we have become grown women who shrug off our own responsibility and accountability. Abortion is an inhumane option- period. What happened to the days when we took precautions instead of shrugging and flatly stating “it’s my body and my choice.” Perhaps it is time that we are provided with a bill for cremation or burial for that aborted baby, but you won’t and you probably never wonder why. 

Elective Termination without Medical reason

I know that many women never make or come to this decision easily at all, and I have to say no matter how hard the decision to have an abortion does not and will never make it the right decision. Many women, however, do arrive at the decision easily, those are always the ones who are using abortion as birth control. Join any pro-abortion group and you will see some really vile, heartless, and cold comments about “killing my baby if I want to”. That is admitting it is a baby, Some prefer to use the term “embryo” and others use “fetus” as if that makes it any less of life growing. 

No matter what term you are using, if it is not due to incest, rape or a medical reason, you are intentionally killing your child because you think you don’t have to be responsible, you are somehow entitled to kill your baby. Even if you are upset on the way to the clinic or doctors, you still followed through..right? 

Adoption

Always an option. The argument that there are enough unwanted kids in foster care doesn’t apply here. Adopted babies are given to the adoptive parents upon birth. 

The children in foster care are children who’ve been removed from their homes.

Blessings

There are so many blessings in our lives, but sometimes we choose to not look at them, be thankful for them or acknowledge them. I understand that most times it is because our problems and stresses can overtake our mind and be set as a priority...but if you ask me, that is a huge mistake!  

I heard a saying many years ago, you get what you give..and while I am sure that is not always true..for the most part, it is.  If you always be thankful for the little things, you will find, I believe, that life is much easier to get through. When we focus solely on the negative aspects, which is easy to do with so many world issues and so many people without work, we become negative..which may attract negative energy; obviously what I am getting at is the opposite holds true. 

I have been really depressed and feeling sorry for myself. I am in another country, very far away from my family and friends..Most of the people I have met here are shallow and self absorbed..not all, but almost all. It does not set well with my sense of fairness and my natural need for harmony and peace..So, I have been pondering home, the familiar and those that I know and love, who are not shallow and self absorbed.  These bouts of being homesick are not easy to get through, they are so turbulent, I feel a need to leave NOW, not later, and..I can't. I must remind myself why I moved here to begin with..but none of that has worked out..some of it my fault and most of it "just the way the cookie crumbles".  While I love this country and I love the friends I have made, as well as the family I have met..but ultimately, it is not my family and it has been made (gently) clear by them on a few occasions. Sometimes, I think moving so far was a lesson..to not take for granted the family you have and the friendships you've maintained for over 25 years. Though, new experiences and new friends have also been a wonderful experience..except when they went sour. I do have one friend here who I treasure..but she too... is far away from me. 

I do feel discouraged at times when it is always me telling family and friends "I miss you and love you"..when I do not get in return...It makes me wonder, am I missed as much? Am I loved as much? I have thought about the idea of stopping myself from doing it to see if anyone writes that to me...yet, I can NOT because that would be denying them my love (from afar) and the possible joy of knowing that someone who loves them, also misses them. 

The blessings in which this post is about is to be thankful for your past, present and hopes for the future. I am grateful for the internet, Skype and tinychat..I have been able to talk to my family and friends for hours, for free..I can see them and hear their voice, as they can see me and hear mine. It makes home seem not so far..and it helps me sleep so peacefully knowing I have connected with them on that level. 

I feel blessed for food on our table, a roof over heads, the good health of all my children, husband, siblings, my parents and friends..Though I am saddened that my mother in law is not doing so well..I hope that they (The doctors) are able to get her back on track. I'm grateful she the care of a medical facility and good doctors. 

I feel blessed that I have compassion and empathy, it seems to me that not many do. So many or driven by lust and money..they forget or do not even think about those that are destroyed in the crossfire. So many abuse a child or an innocent animal to feel powerful, because inside they feel so weak - or are mentally destroyed. What the excuses are do not concern me as much as the harm. WE all know right from wrong and they do too, otherwise they would not try to hide it and conceal it.

I am blessed because I feel, because I think, because I care and because one day I know, being positive about my circumstances will bring good things into my life. If I focus too much on all that is wrong, I will be buried in darkness and sadness and that is where I would stay. I refuse to let my shortcomings define me.
