This isnt going to be the main topic of my blog for today but I do want to clarify what I said in class and also get some other things off my chest.

To start I am not "Pro life" NOR am I "Pro Choice" I refuse to join any official type of "movement" On the abortion topic because I feel that no matter where you stand you get shot at. Nor do I know what is right for me because I have never had to choose.

HOWEVER I do staunchly believe that when a person engages in sexual intercourse they need to be AWARE of the consequences and they need to be PREPARED for those consequences. For someone to say "Oh well I didnt have sex expecting to get pregnant" Is not an excuse . . . Most rapeists dont rape expectign to get caught does that mean that if they do get caught then they should not be held accountable for there actions? If a person has taken precautions used a condom/is on the pill etc etc and then happen to get pregnant well whatever they want to do is up to them at least they were proactive before hand and took some action.

Im also not against the legalization of abortion . . . At least now its safe and I do believe that a women has the right to be safe in whatever choice she makes.

She had her eye across the street
On someone shy and tall
We lived our dreams
And challenged fate
In tears she told me she was late
And sally let his pigeons out to fly...
On the dresser sits a frame
With a photograph
Two little girls in ponytails
Some twenty one years back
She left one night with just a nod
Was lost from some back alley job

The one thing that I will advocate fully is that Abortion is not a form of birth control, The pill the patch the needle are forms of birth control they keep fertilization from occuring. Abortion is killing a fetus and eventhough it is a part of the mother it is still its own being. Killing a fetus and preventing the fetus from being formed are two completly different things.

Can't you see, it's not me you're dying for.
Now she's feeling more alone, than she ever has before.
She's alone, and I'm alone, now I know it.

Now for the more important allthough shorter part, Im really excited for my term project I decided on a video on childhood prostitution in canada. I know at first glimpse it dosnt seem to be an issue facign women in canada today but these children grwo up to be women. Also it perpetuates cycles of abuse etc etc Im excited. Working on it is sort of depressing but still interesting.

It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'
Askin' mama what do i do
She said just be nice to the gentlemen fancy
And they'll be nice to you
