Who knew that we as America, could go from a 200 billion dollar budget surplus to just about a 500 billion dollar deficit? Not including some 10's of billions more not accounted for, for the Iraq war. Not only that, but go from a decent economy to damning the entire world? I already kind of figured that Bush would lead us to World War 3, but I thought that would be from invading and attack countries over in the middle east, not by making the entire world fall into a recession.
Venezuela's president is calling for Bush to stand trial for causing this world economic crisis. One of our biggest allies, England, is pointing their finger at us. Russia, Brazil, Iceland, China, plus many, many more. The World Blames America (CNN video explaining a little more on that.)
We thought last month was bad times? Wait till next month. Soon talks of war will emerge. But before a war breaks out, we switch to one world currency to balance everyone out. Calling about the end of days in the Biblical sense.
These next couple of months are going to be very interesting.

To Abort Or Not To Abort. That Is The Question
Baby Questions
Oh Jesus I love you
I am truly happy here
This Heaven is so beautiful
No pain, no lies, no fear
The golden streets I crawl
Lead me to far away places
Smiles, joy and love
I see on all the faces
I love it here in Heaven
The temperature is just right
Basking in Your glory
And Your radiating light
But Jesus I have some questions
Please answer unto me
Who was my mother?
And what was I supposed to be?
Why was my life ended
Before it had a start?
Was I not wanted?
Was I not going to be smart?
Even if I had been born imperfect
Why couldn't my parents see,
That I would have been made perfect
When you came back for me?
Why didn't they want me?
Please tell me my Lord
Why was my life cut
Before my umbilical cord?

Now whether you are a fan of religion or not, you can imagine these being real questions. I am Pro Life, but being a man I am told that I have no say in the matter, which I think is a load of crap. Yes a woman has to be the carrier of the child in question, but without the guy that child would not be there. Therefor giving him a right to have a say. Especially during a successful relationship.
Scenario 1
If they were not trying to have a child and used proper countermeasures to make sure, yet still the woman becomes pregnant, makes for a long discussion. If the woman wants it, but the guy doesn't, now there's a dilemma going on in the girls head whether to keep it and hope that the guy becomes accepting of his new responsibilities, depend on child support, say "screw it" and go it alone, or abortion. I am a firm believer in you reap what you sow, but that's me. I'm a responsible guy. But, I am not every guy out there. There's a 50% chance this guy will run off, leaving her to fend for herself. Does she keep it and go for child support? Go it alone? Abort? Tough call. But if the guy stays, he should accept responsibility. Ultimately it's the girls call.
Scenario 2
If they were not trying to have a child and used proper countermeasures to make sure, yet still the woman becomes pregnant, but this time the girl doesn't want it and the guy does. Most will argue that it's the woman's call because she has to carry the child. Granted, but, like I said earlier, without the guy, the child would not be in the process of forming. It takes two to tango. Shouldn't the guy be allowed to say, "Hey, I want this child. It comes from me, it is me."? Even if the girl doesn't want it, shouldn't the guy be allowed to have the same options of hoping to convince her to stay and keep the child, go for child support or say "screw it", and go it alone? She can still pop the kid out, and the guy can take care of it. But ultimately, it's the girls call.
I believe life starts at conception. To me it's a no brainer. When cells start dividing, that's life. Life is defined as "The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism." If cells are splitting and growing, that's animate matter. Therefor, life.
So to get to the point I am making with "Life", shouldn't a guy be allowed to press charges of murder against a woman if he want's the child and she aborts it? Same goes for the woman who gets pressured by the guy to abort the child, even if she want's it.
I also believe that abortion should only be allowed during 3 main circumstances.
1. Rape
2. Incest
3. Life threatening
But all this is moot. I am a man. I have no say so.
And as long as abortion is still legal, I say why not continue stem cell research? Yes it's unfortunate where we get them from, IE: dead babies, but we all know the benefits of stem cell research. We can rebuild a broken body from the inside out with stem cells. They are a beautiful thing and I firmly believe that we need more stem cell research. As long as abortion is still legal, why not research more while we can? It may save my life, someone in my families life, my friends life or even your life one day.
Pro Life with no say so, but also Pro Stem Cell.
