Semi-Charmed Kind of Life

Um, yeah. So, I normally don’t go deleting comments in my journals, even if I don’t agree with them. However, when they are utterly, blatantly, and totally bullshit – they’re so getting deleted. You don’t have to agree with me, but do not – do not – come into my journal spewing lies and bullshit. This is a no BS zone.

This, for those who may not know, is about the pro-lifers that responded to my “Blogging For Choice: Why I’m Pro-Choice” entry. I didn’t read their comments in their entirety because, aside from the fact that they weren’t worth the precious minutes of my life to read, I was also setting up a date with a guy for tomorrow night. So, they weren’t too much of interest to me.

I do know that one of them posted a link to a site that supposedly had pictures of aborted babies in the first trimester. I spent about a second looking at it and knew that it was all false pictures that were completely doctored. I mean, do pro-lifers really dig through abortion clinics’ trash and then take pictures of “aborted babies” next to a quarter? (I am being sarcastic here, for those of you who may be taking me literally. Just an important FYI for the readers who lack a sense of humor.) But I am serious, people – the picture I saw had a picture of an “aborted fetus” next to a quarter, with a human finger holding the quarter and “aborted baby” up. Pure hilarity. I was laughing.

THEN, I got a message from someone saying they would “pray” for me. Save your prayers, lady. I don’t consider myself a Christian and I never have. They tried to make me into a “good Catholic” when I was younger, but I was ready to burst from joy when I started going to public school. I was never into having religion forced down my throat, particularly Catholicism. I am in the stages of converting religions, but I am converting to a religion that agrees with my political choices, as well, and the most important thing is, I am converting to a religion I want to practice.

You know, spare me the bullshit. Showing me obviously fake pictures, telling me things that I (and anyone with two brain cells to rub together) know are completely false, and even more insulting, telling me that you’re going to pray for me is even more unnecessary.

The guy was the worst. He had reading problems, it seems, because I said in that entry women should not be forced into providing people who cannot have children with babies. Guess what, pal? There are TONS of children – healthy, Hispanic, black, handicapped, babies, teenagers, toddlers, etc. – waiting for a good home! Why are these children having so much problems finding a good home? Has this guy adopted any children? I seriously doubt it. He could easily reply to this entry and tell me he has, but for some reason it would just scream lies.

Why can’t Christians accept that not everyone believes in God? Why can’t Christians accept that not everyone believes in God the way they do? Some of us believe the power upstairs is a little more compassionate and understanding and open than they think this mysterious power is. Since when did Christians decide how God is, what God is for, what God is against? That’s a subject for another entry, though.

Abortion is…

-A responsible choice.
-A choice a woman should always have.
-A choice that is not selfish.

Women are not…

-Incubators for people who cannot have children.
-A means to provide a state with a tax base.
-Property.

Children are not…

-A punishment.

To put it simply. That’s what I believe, that is what I always will believe. I am not ashamed of my beliefs. I am proud of them. If you think I am going to hell for what I believe, then, I’ll see you there. Don’t like it? Don’t read my journal and don’t respond to my entries. Simple fix.
