Overturning Roe v. Wade

(I previously posted this on my Myspace blog)

People, I can't express enough how important this is to me. I do not like abortion. But I do not feel that it is my place or the governments place to tell a woman that she cannot get an abortion. One of John McCain's goals as president is to overturn Roe v. Wade. I Got this directly off of his website:

"Overturning Roe v. Wade
John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.

Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states. The difficult issue of abortion should not be decided by judicial fiat.

(Note: returning it to the state level doesn't mean it will still be legal. The state will decide on that. Continue reading)

However, the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents only one step in the long path toward ending abortion. Once the question is returned to the states, the fight for life will be one of courage and compassion - the courage of a pregnant mother to bring her child into the world and the compassion of civil society to meet her needs and those of her newborn baby. The pro-life movement has done tremendous work in building and reinforcing the infrastructure of civil society by strengthening faith-based, community, and neighborhood organizations that provide critical services to pregnant mothers in need. This work must continue and government must find new ways to empower and strengthen these armies of compassion. These important groups can help build the consensus necessary to end abortion at the state level. As John McCain has publicly noted, "At its core, abortion is a human tragedy. To effect meaningful change, we must engage the debate at a human level.""

(Did you see it: "These important groups can help build the consensus necessary to end abortion at the state level. " ----His ultimate goal is not to turn the decision over to the state, it's to end abortion all together).

So, women, ladies, sisters, if abortion is not your choice, think of your daughters, and your friends. Each woman has a different story. There are young girls who are victims of incest, women who were raped, given date rape drugs, have addictions & know they can't care for a baby and so on and so forth.

This would mean no legal abortions, no morning after pill, nada.

Before abortion was legal many women died getting illegal abortions.Here is a link remembering just a few of them: http://www.now.org/issues/abortion/120904women-who-died.html

Here is another link: IF ROE V WADE WAS OVERTURNEDhttp://feminist.org/courts/reversed.asp

What other rights will be taken from women? If this happens, it takes us a step back. We'll slowly loose our rights one by one. Then women's rights are gone, POOF! You know what happens after that? Black people's rights will start being taken. Soon we'll be back to having slaves in the field & women in kitchen barefoot. This is what Republicans really want........

Here is a thought from Whoopi Goldberg:

Nine Easy to use Apps for Small Cash Advances

Photo by Yan Krukov   Cash Advance apps offer people the ability to borrow small amounts of money in the form of cash advances. Some may have additional features, such as credit-building, saving and budgeting tools, and bank accounts. Most require a monthly membership fee and/or service fees that will be deducted from your account at the same time as your advance repayment. You will need to have a bank account with direct deposit from your employer in order to use these apps. Here is a list of nine, no hassle, Cash Advance apps you can use to get from pay check to pay check. Before I list them, I want to advise against using these apps unless it is an emergency. These should only be used every once in a while. If you are having problems getting from paycheck to paycheck, there is likely a bigger issue at hand. I recommend going over your income and expenses and watching your spending, or getting a second job. Click here for the budgeting app that I use and how it

How to Cheat without Getting Caught (What I've Learned from Men)

I remember being cheated on. I remember catching him red handed and listening as he denied the whole thing. I remember wondering if the other woman knew he was married. Odds are, she probably did. I didn't understand it and the truth is, I didn't need to. I just needed to remove myself from the situation. My ex was careless in his cheating. After my experience I began watching how men & women cheat. Cousins, friends, co-workers - it seems that everyone has a "Sneaky Link" or a "Secret Bae." And although the memes would have you thinking otherwise, it's not cute. But still, it's interesting. So here are some of the best tips I've learned on how to cheat without getting caught:  1. Let the person you are cheating with know that you are already married, or in a relationship. Have this conversation with the person from the beginning so they know their role, and so that you can establish boundaries. Be clear that you will not be leaving your spou

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

What to do when you're feeling confused. Photo by Felipe Cespedes Love is not a decision. Love is a feeling. The feeling is either there, or it isn't. You know from the beginning, because you feel it from the beginning. You also know if the feeling is mutual. However, what we do sometimes, is ignore the signs that tell us that despite how we feel about him, he doesn't feel the same way. We then kind of waste our own time believing that there is something there, that simply isn't. The truth is, if he loved you, you would know. There would be no confusion, and no doubt. If you find yourself in a situation where you are doubting where it's going and you're not sure if he's feels the same way about you, I recommend asking him directly, "Where is this going? Do you see us working out long term?" If he is unsure, or does not give you a direct answer, then you know what it is. You need to walk away from that situation. Before I get into why, I want to
