A Woman's Right To Choose?

When will Roe v. Wade be put to rest? Is it a woman’s right to choose or is it the government’s right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with or to her body? This is the question that many Mississippians will face as a bill has been set forth to deny a woman’s right to an abortion unless the pregnancy is a product of rape, incest, or threatens the woman’s life in anyway.

This law will catapult women into crossing state lines to obtain this procedure and/or the worst-case scenario will force them to back alley abortions as in the past. This will not only kill the fetus, but it will also kill and/or permanently harm or scar the mother.

I am an advocate for Pro Choice and, quite frankly this law scares the hell out of me! I am all for a woman making the decision as to whether or not to bring a child into this world. Yes, a child is a blessing from God, but we all have seen how unwanted children are mistreated by parents, family, and even those in the system that are supposedly proponents for the health, safety, and well being of children. Don’t get me wrong; I am not a proponent for using abortion as a form of birth control.

This law has the potential to snowball over into other states taking the same stance if the people and representatives of Mississippi set this bill as a law into place. This is an infringement on a woman’s civil rights!

Hell, The Patriot Act chips away at rights that be believed to be certain and alienable… what other rights are at stake if this bill becomes a law!

Again, I am not saying that a woman should use abortion as a form of birth control. I am saying that no governing body has the right to tell ME or any other woman what is right and/or wrong for her body.

What are you thoughts?

Online Dating

When I first got my computer, I used to sit up and chat all night long with numerous people from across the globe. As I got bolder, I actually met some of these individuals that I had chatted with online. The one commonality I found was that they all lied about something...that was in 2002. Today, I am a member of three online dating services {I'm a free member to them so communication is limited} anyway, three years later I am finding the same thing...that they all lie for some reason or another. Now my girlz feel that I am crazy to not only talk to these freaks I meet online but to actually meet them. And I am beginning to realize that they are right...I am crazy or are they crazy? I'm crazy because I genuinely want a relationship, and I am finding out the reason why some of these men are still single and that is....drum roll please--- They don't say what they mean and mean what they say! That goes for the women as well! Now I know life happens and you had a life before ...

Relationship Deal Breakers

We all know folks out here tolerating alot of unnecessary bullshyt from their significant other...I sit back and look at them, saying to myself "Girl, you are good, because I wouldn't put up with that bullshyt," but you know what, someone will. Or is it more like someone has to? How many times have we heard that what one woman/man won't do another will? Too many times to count, right. But does that saying make situations right? I mean when someone does something that you don't like...betrays a trust, a confidence, cheats, steals, or lies etc...what makes some people forgive---over and over and over and over...how many times does a person get a second chance? Don't get me wrong, I feel that sometimes people make honest mistakes...but to continue to repeat the same mistake is not a mistake...its a problem, that obviously the person cannot fix on their own. When I think of deal breakers, I think like this... Cheating Cheating and the person gets pregnant Cheating...
