Not really a question, just wanted to share.

I consider myself to be pro choice, because I feel saying no to having an abortion is a choice. But I'm also religious, so in a religious aspect, abortion is not really an option I would exercise, depending on the situation.

Raped, I would terminate. No doubt about it.

If it was a fluke because a condom broke while my husband and I were having sex, that's iffy. On one side, even though we are "done" with having kids, it's like well, we can afford to support another child, I told you to get a vasectomy, and we'll work through it. (I cannot have a tubal due to my medical history, and I also cannot take hormonal birth control due to having severe reactions. I literally suffer from the minimal, less than 1% side effects.) He would be upset at first, but would not "force" me to terminate, nor would he divorce me if I didn't want to.

On the other side of the coin, my health is no longer secure, and due to a cancer scare, I had half of my thyroid removed, which significantly increases my chance of miscarriage. (It ended up not being cancer, bit there was no way to be sure without removal, the biopsy came back as having cancerous and non cancerous properties.)I think I would rather terminate, versus having to be worried for up to 40 weeks that my pregnancy might not make it, and I am more likely to die from a miscarriage than having a safe abortion. I have my husband and 3 kids to worry about. They need me. The needs of the many out weigh the needs of one. I would choose the emotional and physical needs of my family, versus the "need" of a developing pregnancy's "right" to exist. Yes I would be sad not to see that pregnancy become a little human, but the alternative of me dying scares me more.

I guess emotionally I am pro life, but as an intelligent person, a productive member of society, and as a mother and a wife who had to put the needs and feelings of myself after my children and my husband's, I am pro choice.

I also don't need to make what another woman does with her lady parts my business, and I expect the same in return.

Feminism to me is about making informed choices about what I do with myself as a wife, mother and woman. I really hesitate to "out" myself as a feminist because to most people if you identify as a feminist, then you must be actively getting abortions, or support them in lieu of birth control, and responsibility.

You really want to meet Taylor Swift, don't you...

I'm with you on the chills.

One of the things I've been thinking for a while with the whole healthcare thing and all of my conservative relatives going "RAR OBAMA" and all of that, I've been in the opinion that It's not Obama that's controlling all of this, it's someone else.. I assumed the Senate or House was doing this.. but this is scarier.

Plus, I've noticed that in this administration, everything seems to be controlled by some puppet master and he's just the puppet having his strings pulled, and is being used as whipping boy by who's REALLY behind power.

So, does your dairy farm have a Facebook page? I'd love to see the going ons of you and your cows!

I'm with you on this one, I agree that the Swedish version was better.

Although, I do have this unhealthy obsession with IKEA, so I kind of automatically assume Swedish things are better.

Except for Swedish Fish, I don't like those.
