I just came in here to post what I just heard on NPR: Bruce Ivins, the anthrax suspect who killed himself last week, "may have targeted Sens. Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy with anthrax-laced letters in 2001 because he saw them as bad Catholics owing to their votes in favor of abortion rights". |

I just discovered that my 16-year old cousin is pregnant. I don't think she even considered abortion, or that her mom even taught her what abortion or contraception is. (Her father is in prison, for molesting her older sister, so that leaves mom. Yeah.) I wonder if she has the slightest idea what raising this kid will be like, or how motherhood (at 16!) will affect her future? I doubt she learned about abortion or contraception in school, and we live in Texas, so you have an idea of what our sex-education quality is like: nill. I'm upset about this. I wouldn't have pressured my cousin to have an abortion, but I would have at least presented that option to her. And now her life is changed forever, and I don't think she has the slightest clue to what extent. She probably doesn't think motherhood is a time-consuming job, considering how her mother raised her (not very well). Her older sister, who is 19, is fresh out of prison, on parole. (Yes, thank you for helping our family conform EVEN MORE to the un-educated, backwoods redneck Texan stereotype.) I will have to spill my guts over the rest of our family drama over in the "Friends and Family" thread cuz I'm getting off-track.
My family has a long history of teen pregnancy. I am the product of one. My grandmother never taught my mom about condoms or birth control pills, and so here I am (complaining about lack of quality pro-choice education, no less!) There have been 4 teen pregnancies in my family (2 from the same cousin) in the last few years, and not one of them ever considered abortion as an option. I just wanted to rant about this because I'm pissed. Thanks for listening. -------------------- "There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." -Anais Nin |

LOL, gt! funny girl.
I must say, if you're gonna post pics, you could at least stick to ones from this century. That one by the cross is from 1987, steve. You can do better than that. |

steve, i'm sure you think you're witty, but that just further established my image of you sitting in your texas basement being a sad little geek.

Ugh. On CBC's radio show, Up To Speed (local I think) they just had this idiot politician on who's upset about it. It's a call in show but I only walked in during the last 15 minutes. Almost everyone who called agreed that it was wrong to give Morgentaler the award. I tried to call in but didn't make it in time for the cut. Luckily the last woman who called was sane and smart. And way more men were calling about it too.

Pardon me for cross-posting this with the Canadian thread, but I feel it's important to note that Henry Morgentaler has been given the Order of Canada.
....and the Campaign Life Coalition is urging other recipients to return their medals in protest. "If Morgentaler had any integrity, he would refuse the medal," Mary Ellen Douglas of the coalition said in a news release. "This presentation should be given to people who have made Canada a better place to live and the elimination of thousands of human beings who would have contributed to the future of Canada is a disgrace, not an honour." *rolls eyes* I would like Mary Ellen Douglas to meet my mom, who nearly DIED from an illegal abortion right here in Canada (done with sharpened birch sticks on a kitchen table) before Dr. Morgentaler came along. Dr. Morgentaler made this country a better place to live for me and my whole generation, that's for fucking sure. -------------------- Check out my band's new demo online!
