The Mexico City Policy....i think i spoke too soon....

ookay, sooo the President just reversed the Mexico City Policy, lifting the ban on funds being given to international groups that provide abortions/abortion education as a way of family planning...

i think i spoke too soon.

When it comes to pro-life or pro-choice, I definitely chose life, but i don't think that anyone can tell a woman in a desperate condition, what to do or how to feel in a position of undesired pregnancy or rape, unless you've either been there or are planning to solve the problem.

These individuals creating the laws are rich males, who's wives are provided with the best health care and their children, the best schooling the U.S. has to offer.

I do not believe that abortion is right, but i think that it is unreasonable to sit on a pedestal and tell a mother thinking about abortion-most likely a minority with

-no hope

-no stable job

-no formal education or vocational training

-no father for her child

-no health care

and no assurance, that she has no other way..... UNLESS you are willing to show her God's love and do things such as

-give her rides to the clinic

-assist with her medical bills

-help her file for medicare etc.

...or indirectly by being a Big Brother or Big Sister

-volunteering at women's shelters

-participating in food drives

-DONATING to community centers

and other organizations etc. that assist children and/or low income mothers

...OR even by ADOPTING!! -which I will definitely be doing in a few years!

Its so easy to condemn, but i find actually helping to prevent the problem and most importantly -showing them the love of Christ in their turmoil is a WAY better solution.

President Obama

I'm excited about President Obama! I don't agree with ALL of his beliefs, but I personally feel as if he was the better pick to lead this country out of the current crisis.
As a believer, I honestly feel as if his beliefs on gay marriage and abortion etc. are not somehow "worse" than McCain's beliefs to prolong a war in which many innocent troops and Iraqi's have been dying in. Nor would I trust a man who divorced his wife on the account of her being disfigured and then gaining weight.
I am beginning to think more and more that religion should be set apart from politics. After this election, having to witness two candidates claim Christianity and then condoning things that go completely against the teachings of Christ just seemed very hypocritical to me, however, it just shows how God is needed soooo much in our political system.

Inauguration!

Soooo! I was able to volunteer for the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC). More and more, i think i did it as a service to my country because i certainly DO NOT agree with some of the President's policies.

Surprisingly, after that 3 hour meeting at the Convention Center....there was not much to do. People were so peaceful on the National Mall. There were no complaints or first aid requests (despite seeing about 5 different ambulance/emergency vehicles speed off with their sirens on). However, Metro was NOT prepared. There were people coming up out of L'enfant Plaza on all four escalators. No one could go down to catch the train! There were tens of thousands of people and one officer at the Plaza station. I felt sooo bad for him. When I develop my pictures, Ill post them. I should have one of that poor man!
