Almost time for Victory
Mood:  energetic
Twas the night before election and all threw the house not a Romans was stirring, not even Verdel. The republican signs were all hanging with care. In hopes that John Kerry would play the game fair. The children were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of Dubya danced in their heads. The soldiers were fighting one hell of a fight for all the republicans that stood by their sides. They thought of George, Laura and Dick, and knew that John Kerry would soon do a flip. Because at the dawn of November the 2nd George W. Bush would put him out of commission.Back he will go to sponge off his wife. No babies to kill, no gays to unite. The taxes we pay will be small in compare but I'd pay twice as much to keep flipper out of there. The home of the brave, the land of the free, George is still in office and I smell victory!

Child or choice?
Mood:  on fire
Topic: abortion
A child is formed at the moment of conception. Abortion is MURDER, partial-birth abortion is MURDER, embryo stem cell research is MURDER. Child or choice...the child is the choice.
Pro-choice supporters are so hung up on womens rights that they fail to take the living unborn child into consideration. What about the child's rights? A unborn baby is unable to tell the mother or abortion doctor exactly how they feel about being killed. But I guarantee the child would choose to live.
Abortion is very rarely necessary. In situations where the the mother or child may be in danger, many times they are both fine. Medicine and medical procedures are so advanced that this seldom happens. Young women are using abortion as a form of birth control. We need to get America and the pro-choice movement informed about the torture the unborn baby is put threw before it finally dies. During a regular abortion, the child is ripped limb from limb while inside of the mother. (a living baby is MURDERED) Partial-birth abortion is even worse if thats imaginable. The baby is delivered feet first except for the head. They leave the head inside the mother. Then the doctor stabs the baby in the base of the skull and sucks it's brain out with a medical vacuum.Then he/she crushes it's little skull with forceps and delivers the baby fully. The baby is then tossed in a bucket. Lots of times the major body parts and organs are harvested to then sell to people who need them for their child. Or in some cases the babies bodies are sold for medical science.
I have read of countless accounts of aborted babies still being alive after being tossed into the bucket. Left to die a slow painful death at the hands of the child's mother and the abortionist.
How as Americans can we let this go on? How can you set by and do nothing? How many babies have to die before you stand up for whats right?
You may be thinking that you as one person can't change anything, but your wrong. Talk to people, get informed. Pass out information. Hang info on bulletin boards. Email and call family and friends.
I am so glad my mother choose life!
