OBAMA'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Okay, I have to be allowed a few seconds of, "I told you so" and all that now that Obama is the new President Elect. These are exciting times! It's sad that so many people can't seem to see all the good things this will bring to pass. And, on many of the issues that certain religions are a little bit crazy about (Namely gay marriage, abortion and stem-cell research), well Obama is surprisingly conservative and agreed with McCain on 2 of the 3--do your research, people!
LA TIMES ARTICLE ON SIMILARITIES
Obama isn't some crazy liberal--he has a lot of the same values as a lot of conservatives.
I am happy that he is Pro-Choice simply because I think that he as a man shouldn't even have a say with what a woman does to her own body (unless it was his wife or daughter). I think in this respect, women who are even AGAINST abortion, can be Pro-Choice and have a guiltless conscience. This is why: Women who are against it--can choose never to have one themselves and to help other women see what other options they have in those types of difficult situations--but should let other women, if need be, make the choice if it is right for them. I do believe the Bible says something about not judging lest ye be judged? To each her own--do what is right for you, but don't force that on someone else.
A few weeks ago, I overheard two women on the bus discussing this exact thing. They were BOTH Pro-Choice but one was adamantly against abortion for herself and her own, but believed women should have the right to choose. Something to think about. I think it's a matter or principle--don't take away people's rights. I think that is fair. There is a whole other side to this debate (can you tell I'm taking a Women's Studies course this semester?) but too involved and unnecessary for my blog. I just like to make people think outside the box.

I know this is something you've heard, but what about the rights of the un-born child? Don't they deserve something here? I understand not imposing on others, but I think that's just what abortion does. It imposes on the rights of an un-born child. A child, if given the chance, could have been a mother, a father, a scientist that cures AIDS, a teacher that taught YOUR child. I understand where you are coming from, however, I disagree. I'm grateful that I am a mother. I'm grateful that I was able to have such beautiful babies. But, I'm also grateful for adoption. What of that? My best friend wouldn't have her two children if the mothers of her babies would have had them aborted. I can't imagine a world with out them. Or you. Just something to think about.
I say we let people have Pro-Choice to murder...or Pro-Choice to Rape...or Pro-Choice to sell drugs...
Why should we take peoples rights away... b/c they effect the rights of others...
And unfortunately, Obama is for BIG Government...which in turns takes even more choices away from us... You need to read, "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand...great book...on socialism...you'll find great amounts of similarities between that book and the democratic party...especially this last outcome...it will definitely be interesting to see how a democratic president does with a democratic house and senate...no need to blame anyone the results will speak for themselves at the end of 4 years...
I would recommend:
FOOD STORAGE
BE DEBT FREE INCLUDING YOUR MORTGAGE
RUN ALL YOUR INCOME THROUGH A CORPORATION (will add protection against the government)
PRAY LIKE CRAZY WE CAN SURVIVE...
Everyone has their own opinion...thanks for letting me voice mine...
and thanks for yours!
