People dont take things seriously anymore....
I was just in the washroom, and some girls were calling me to join into the conversation about our contempt for the conservatives. True, i am always ready to jump into a rant about the conservatives, but one of their reasons was that they could no longer have abortions...
I hate abortions. I know they are wrong.
Cait and I are now talking about this, and reaffriming our thoughts of how wrong the image of sex in our society has become. We are starting to verge of Sodom. Sex is not taken seriously. You dont need to be mature to have it. You dont have to be committed to have it. You can have it outside and inside marriage (freakin swing clubs), and what's worse, the consequences dont matter either. There is a huge rise in STDS and in abortions, but still, we are told to search for love, validation, and a social status through sex.
It is no wonder we have sexual devients and people who do terrible perversions to the innocence. We no longer guard ourselves against the tmeptations of lust and sin is rampant...
The other day, a friend told me that her boyfriend who she loved dearly, saw a tiny, hot girl, and actually said to her " i wish you lokoed like that" I actually take pity with him. With all boys. They are being so attacked by images of sexual leudity that the things that truly make a girl beautiful in all aspects of the word, are being sacrificed to satisfy an ideal. They are attack on the basis of a important need of theirs 'to suceed' 'to be good at what they are doing.' The image that is being sold is that you need to have a girl like this, brittany, christina, etc, if you are going to look good, if you are going to be enough..
but love is soo much more than that.
This has had incredibly terrible consequences of the thoughts of girls and women. no longer is there a chase for their hearts. Many are just throwing themselves as any guy taht will take them, as if it is a great race between all girls just to get someone. Many girls are doing themselves soo much harm to fill the image they think will get the guys....
true realtionships and love between two people is being attacked from all angles. God help us to hold on to truth in this sea of lies. To withstand the harsh winds that beat on us, as we push on.
God be with us.

this is going to be a big comment. First. I've honestly never felt pity for those boys. I've wanted to fight those boys and probably would have punched that boy for saying that. no joke.. i think i would have punched him.. Its disgusting. repulsing, horrible! We have destroyed it. Destroyed love in all its essence.. Why do girls have eating disorders, why do the girls who seem like they have things all together, have their faiths and identities rooted in Christ still feel the need to skip meals. Or go on medication for depression. Why do we overlook this all the freaking time. Girls, guard your bodies! DO not let anyone take them. Not until you fully trust that man, and make him your husband can you offer yourself in that way. Stop hurting yourself. You are truly beautiful, truly unique, truly incredible. Do not forget that. Boys, seek more then a body. Seek true beauty. You deserve someone who will stick with you, someone who will be your partner, someone who will walk to the ends of the earth with you. To love, to cherish, to hold, forever.
thank you mel. we need more people to raise these issues, we need more girls with opions like yours and caitlins. it is so true, and it makes me so mad... there is much to write, but this is not the venue. if we believe in Christ, we are defined by him, not whether or not we fit into the pop-culture mold. it is hard. especially in these places, university seems to be the height of all of this, but it will all pass away. pray that God will keep our focus on what matters.
The reason you know so strongly that abortion is wrong is because its wrong for you. You can't possibly know if its right or wrong for the millions of women who live in this country.
to the above comment ^
there is always a difference of opinion when it comes to a battle of ethics and morality. but i too grow disgusted at the fact that abortion has become this "pseudo-failsafe birth control" when everyone seems to forget that we are dealing with human life. why must we always try to play God? why will having a child at an ill-timed point in our lives be the cause of ruin? rape only accounts for a marginal amount of abortions pursued. and even in the case of rape - even though it is an undesirable situation, why must a unborn child be at fault?
an interesting bumper sticker comes to mind... "Isn't it hypocritical to agree with abortions if you've already been born?"

All women are different. Not every girl grows up in a safe and loving environment. Every situation is different, with circumstances you and I can't understand. Teen pregnancy can ruin lives. It is alright to believe in your heart that abortions are wrong, and to try and convince others, but you cannot impose your beliefs on everyone. It is a matter of choice.
I dont know if you will ever read this, but you have your choice. I have my voice. Abortions are legal, but that doesnt mean i have to agree. There are many awful things that have gone on in this world that we seen as the a choice, seen as okay, seen as a freedom...but they were not right...i dont agree with abortions. I wont ever agree with them because i believe in our being blessed with children at whatever time in our life. Once you get pregnant, thats your life. That child is your life, not a mistake. A purpose, a plan, a person...again, i was not trying to offend anyone, well maybe i was, but if by saying i value life makes you mad, i really am sorry, but i cant see it anyother way.
and this is my blog lol.
