So I don't know how many of you have seen this, but you should watch it if you haven't. This little woman asks some pretty hard questions that I think we all need to consider.

Wow that was amazing and she is so little no way could I do that in middle school! But she had some really good points, that the child has ignored rights and especially about the negative effects on women that people tend to brush over because "it's a woman's choice and she doesn't want to have a baby right now". But the woman chose to have sex which means she also chose to accept any of the responsibilities that came of her actions, at least in my mind. The line where she said "is it only a human if it is wanted" really got me. Those numbers were horrifying...
ReplyDeleteExactly! I loved that she said that, because pregnancy is a consequence of a choice, and I think people should have to deal with consequences. Yeah. It was pretty eye-opening.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS!!!! Seriously! So much common sense. I love that she did her research on it and I love her passion for it! Thanks for sharing :) I agree with you guys on the fact that having sex is a choice! There is a consequence to every choice and we should all be accountable for our choices.
