37th Anniversary of Roe V. Wade







Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court case legalizing abortion.

For those of you who dont know, Roe, a pregnant single woman brought a class action challenging the constitutionality of the Texas criminal abortion laws, which proscribe procuring or attempting an abortion except on medical advice for the purpose of saving the mother's life.

Roe alleged that she was unmarried and pregnant; that she wished to terminate her pregnancy by an abortion "performed by a competent, licensed physician, under safe, clinical conditions"; that she was unable to get a "legal" abortion in Texas because her life did not appear to be threatened by the continuation of her pregnancy; and that she could not afford to travel to another jurisdiction in order to secure a legal abortion under safe conditions. She claimed that the Texas statutes were unconstitutionally vague and that they abridged her right of personal privacy, protected by the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. By an amendment to her complaint Roe purported to sue "on behalf of herself and all other women" similarly situated.

Dr. George Tiller, once said, "Abortion is about women's hopes, dreams, potential, the rest of their lives. Abortion is a matter of survival for women."

Personally, We are against abortion. Our family as well as, friends, believe that the only time that a woman should have an abortion are these conditions; If she has a serious medical condition that threatens the quality of life or longerity in the babies life. If she was raped, I can understand why she would want to, but to have an abortion because you feel that is your right, i just can't grasp that to well.
Do women who believe in abortion have a heart? Do they know how many other women in the world that would give they life to have a baby? Many women come up with excuses(just to name a few) like, " I want to chase my dreams ", or " I dont have the money to raise a child". There are numerous programs to help women like, WITT, Welfare, if that woman cannot find a job, Child Support, if she knows who the father is. The one that really gets me is, " My birth control, it didn't work, or I forgot to take it". A simple solution to that people, "WAIT UNTILL YOU ARE MARRIED" or use contraceptics if you decide to be sexually active.
It disgusted me seeing those signs above. Those women have not a ounce of guilt on their conscious for taking a life of something that has not had a chance. Who knows, one of them babies could be our future president, Doctor, Govenor, Star-Athlete, Teacher, etc. They show no value for an innocent life and they try to bring GOD into the picture.
6th Commandment- Thy shall not kill. We will leave it at that because obviously, people are going to pick which laws to obey and which laws to break.

To all the women who are reading this that are pregnant and thinking about having an abortion,think! Does my baby have a chance to great, my baby might be the next president, teacher or Doctor. It is better to have saved a life, then to have taken one.
Today, marks the 37th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we couldn't possibly know what it feels like to be a woman but, we do know that when it comes to giving a baby a chance at life, it would and will have it!

We'd like to say "Thank you", to all the mothers out there who had there babies, stuck through good times, bad times, Thick and thin with there child, watched them grow, mature and have a great affect on this world.

Thanks Sally May, you gave us a chance!

All comments and are incouraged.

Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Any Worse.


The death toll is estimated at 200,000, according to Haitian government. Lets not mention the 80,000 that are buried in mass graves. This is so sad to hear. Seeing all those dead bodies in the street with no real graves to rest in peace can take a toll on you.
Lets not forget that, there are food and water shortage in supplies. And we all know that it escalades the threats of violent acts. Neighborhoods that have not been badly destroyed have banned together to keep outsiders from robbing, stealing, lastly, taking prize possessions for their own benefits. People we have to understand that people will do anything to survive. In a sense, i feel for people on both sides of the fence. I know what it feels like to have something and then have it taken from you. I also, know how it feels to have nothing and the only way to get it was to take from another person for my survival or survival of a family member in need. These people have no-where to go, they have no homes to go to. They are living in the streets.

I read that the commission raised its estimate of homeless to 2 million, from 1.5 million, and said 250,000 people needed urgent aid. Doctors are complaining that they don't have enough Morphine to treat patients that are in pain and not to mention that the damaged hospitals and emergency medical centers set up in Port-au-Prince needed surgeons, fuel for generators, oxygen and countless other kinds of medical supplies.
We can help by, "Texting" Haiti to, 90999 for a Ten-Dollar Donation to The Red Cross. I give my hats-off to the people that has contributed and are currently helping those in need at this time in Haiti.

New Year, fresh start.
