Why in all that is fucking good in this world do people insist on sitting next to a complete stranger on the bus when there are plenty of open seats?! I mean why? Can someone explain the rationale behind it? Because if someone can I will gladly cease to have the urge to punch the person sitting next to me in the face.
Wolf Blitzer would like to take a moment to tell you about our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Uh that is some messed up stuff right thurr from Wolf Blitzer just cause he is in Oklahoma doesn’t mean that everyone believes in Jesus!

Today got me thinking because I just finished my last final of the semester and I was talking to my professor afterwards and she was talking about all the stuff she had to do to become a professor and how people have to work full time and go to school full time or take a ton of classes so they can get out of school faster and that made me think why? Why do we mentally strain ourselves so we can go work to make money to have a good life and miss out on enjoying our lives and one of the things it happened to break down to for me is our political and economic system and once again I got the brain working and filtered it through all that I have read of Marx and all that I know about Marxist-Communism and it came down to the fact that if pulled off correctly and the way Marx envisioned it that communism would be the best form of government and economics. Then I remembered that I threw off the title of Communist because I hypothesised that humans are inherently greedy and selfish, but the more I look at it and the more I think about it the more I realise I am wrong. Yes there always will be greedy, selfish people in this world but we are not inherently greedy or selfish but the minority of people who are have been controlling our society and part of our thinking is caused by what society says and since this small minority have been telling us that greed and selfishness are good virtues we have become greedy and selfish but a lot of people, including me, have realised that our selfishness and greed are destroying our planet, killing other humans for our gain, and destroying other living beings habitat for the sole purpose of servicing our wants and desires. This is where communism can change things because if we were to become communist we would eliminate greed and thereby stop all the aforementioned atrocities. You may be asking, “well how does this tie into enjoying our lives?” Well my dear readers if we were to become communist money wouldn’t be needed to have the basic necessities nor would it be necessary to work excessively to be able to enjoy Mother Nature or take a vacation because everything would be provided by the state because of this college students would be able to take as few or as many classes as their hearts desire so as to enjoy their learning not just to get through as fast as they can so they can make money because when we slow down and enjoy what we are doing we are doing exactly what we are meant to do which is to enjoy our one and presumably only life on this earth because what is the point of life if we don’t enjoy the majority of what we do? While I am a communist I am not one who would organise a revolt to over throw the bourgeoise regime though I would participate in one if one were to ever occur. And this whole speech is not to get you to get out and do something this is more to inform you good people of tumblr that one day a large group of people will realise this and call for change though it may not occur in my life time or the lifetime of my kids but it will happen one day and when it does the world we be much better off for it. If any of you who actually took the time to read this want to pick my brain on the issue or start a friendly debate on the issue leave me an ask and I will gladly respond.
Me soooo horny!!!

How can someone stand behind abortion, when you have a life inside of you that God created for you? How can you say that this life isn’t worth it? If you can’t take care of the baby for whatever circumstances than there is always adoption available to couples who can’t conceive, but still want the joy of being parents. OPEN YOUR EYES! God has bigger plans for us all that we don’t even realize the picture.
Excuse me but it appears your baby is actually upside down
Did you take Sex Ed freshman year because babies come out headfirstHi, OP! As someone who was given up for adoption, allow me to call bullshit on your little post there! You see, when I was adopted, I was a white-skinned, healthy, neurotypical infant, which basically put me at the top of the list, right underneath white-skinned, healthy, neurotypical MALE infants! There’s only one kind of infant people wanted to adopt more than me! I was SOOO lucky! But if you actually bothered to look at the information readily available on the interwebs, you would be aware that the majority of people who are forced to rely on abortion for family planning are poor people and people of color. Of course, those two demographics intersect, thanks to the institutionalized racism of our society! Neat huh?!
Of course, even babies of color are not in high demand with couples looking to adopt. Many who do want to adopt outside their race choose to go outside the country, where laws are less strict and the process is often less expensive. Of course, most of the infants adopted this way are obtained in unscrupulous fashion, but who cares about that when you’re saving a little Korean or African baby from the horrible fate of growing up in Korea or Africa??? And all those children who have birth defects, are born with diseases or disabilities, or have other issues… WELL. Who wants to invest that kind of expense and time? Why would you adopt someone broken, LOLOL?!
Granted, there are some wonderful people who understand the system a little better, and make it a point to try and give POC and disabled children a good home. But they make up a very small fraction of potential adopters! This difference in supply and demand leaves a lot of children stuck in the foster system, where their chances of being adopted diminish with every passing year, and their chances of being physically or sexually abused INCREASE! Isn’t that wonderful?
And of course, we haven’t even talked about the person who is giving birth to the baby! I know you probably think pregnancy is a wonderful, happy time, and for some people it is, but it is also one of the greatest health risks a person can take. I love my son very much, and from the day I found out I was pregnant with him, I wanted him! But I also nearly died giving birth to him. You see, I had pre-eclampsia, the most commonly fatal birth complication in the world. My blood pressure was 180 over 130! At twenty-two years old, I was actually headed for a stroke, hah hah! How funny is that? And all it took was missing a single pre-natal appointment during which my blood pressure rose to dangerous levels and my body tried to kill both me and my son. Those seizures sure were fun, as was the emergency c-section performed without anesthetic! And being chained down while the operation was performed, because I was delirious and wouldn’t stop trying to fight off the doctors, that was a BLAST! It was great for my husband too, since he almost lost his wife and child in just forty-five minutes. You can imagine how thrilled he is at the prospect of me ever getting pregnant again. Babies are certainly cute, but pregnancy can have massive health complications, and I know it’s such a bummer, but they are PERMANENT. :( My abdominal muscles never recovered from being hacked through with a scalpel, and the flood of hormones caused by late pregnancy have changed things from heartburn (never used to have it, now, all the time!) to my emotional reactions (I cry when I see pictures of kittens now. I used to be tough). These are changes I did not ask for, cannot control, and cannot fix! And many people go through worse! I know, right? Unbelievable, but go look up the word ‘episiotomy’ and then look up ‘birth rape’ and I’m afraid you’ll find some stuff that just isn’t very shiny. Plus, the studies actually show that people who carry a baby to term, give birth, then give it up for adoption suffer HIGHER rates of post-pregnancy complications like post-partum depression and post-partum psychosis, general depression, and other mental health issues. Adoption actually isn’t good for the person giving birth at all!
I’m afraid the picture you chose to use there is also pretty disingenuous. I know, I know, it seems like nitpicking. I’m not trying to be mean! :( But that picture shows a fully developed, viable infant, and most abortions are performed when the fetus isn’t even a fetus - it’s a blastocyst. That’s just a clump of cells. Seriously! You can totally find pictures on the interwebs and they’re not even gross, LOLOL! Later-term abortions are usually performed because of health complications, though some of our intrepid state legislators are trying to change all that! They care so much about people who are pregnant, you see, that they want to force them to carry dead or dying fetuses inside them until their body either becomes infected while it rots in their tummies (this is called sepsis, and it makes people very sick, and can even kill them!), or forces it out naturally in a gush of blood and fluids! Isn’t that so caring of them? I’m so glad they’re around to make those decisions for me! And if a pregnant person is not allowed to terminate an unviable fetus, in some states, they have to carry the child to term, give birth to it, and then watch it die in their arms because its lungs weren’t developed, or its brain formed outside its skull, or any of a million possible birth defects that will kill you just as quick as lickity-split! Isn’t that wild?! Of course, these people go through terrible grief, and as I mentioned, some of them may get sick and die from not being able to abort dead or dying fetuses. But I guess that’s just A-okay with you, huh?
Basically, I think before you suggest adoption as a universal alternative, you should actually go do some research on adoption. And before you condemn abortion, you should do some research on abortions - not the stuff your church is giving you, the stuff the real doctors are saying. Go to Planned Parenthood (if they haven’t all been closed down, ROFLMAO!) and request whatever information they have on the process, the statistics of who has abortions and why… and actually, all of that is on the interwebs! Isn’t technology AMAZING?
And in closing, since I’ve been asked this question many times and I know it’s coming? Yes, I realize I am here talking to you because I was not aborted. But the thing is, if my mother had chosen abortion, I wouldn’t know the difference, so it wouldn’t matter to me. And if she decided that choice was best for her, then that choice would have been best for her, and I would never want to take that choice away from her. As it is, since I was given up for adoption, and since I have seen the statistics on how badly people who give their children up for adoption suffer, I have spent much of my adult life worrying about her, whether she’s healthy, whether she’s okay, and feeling that if she did suffer from any of the common post-birth symptoms, it is at least partially my fault, even though she made that decision on her own. Which is silly, I know, but at some point, all children have to stare down the consequences of their parents’ having them. For some, that’s poverty. For others, a life-time of their parents struggling to treat and care for a severe illness or disability. For others, it’s wondering if their mother ever got over giving them away, and wishing you could reach out and assure her that it’s okay, she doesn’t have to be haunted.
May your birth control never fail!
Pro.
Sonneillonv deserves a mother fucking standing ovation here.
Slow clap.
this is my favorite post because i think it’s the strongest argument for how abortion isn’t wrong and adoption is not always a solution so people should start researching and not just believing what ever is being shoved down their throats at church. This is not a slow clap this is thunderous boom of people all over the world saying thank you
So much win.
My god Sonneillonv you are such an awesome and wonderful person and I salute your courage for sharing your story and hopefully opening up a few people’s eyes.

I was talking with a friend of mine today and we ended up talking about how the culture here is different from where he is from, Mexico. He was describing to me how the government really doesn’t care about anyone but the rich people and the tourists who make the government a lot of money. He said to me that there were 70-80 year olds who had so little money that they had to work as baggers at grocery stores and rely on tips to make money. He also said that a lot of unemployed people would come to America and buy something here and go back to Mexico and sell that item in a swap meet for a significantly lower price to pay for basic necessities. He said that he has been coming here to clean people’s houses for 8 years and that if it weren’t for that simple fact his and his families life would not be as good as it is today and it really got me thinking. I and many people complain about how our government is preoccupied with making the rich richer and not caring about the consequences it has on everyone else but the truth of the matter is is that I am going to bed tonight in an apartment building with modern amenities because of the government and many people Mexico rarely have and I get to college to be able to make a living for myself that will be comfortable and more or less the same as it is now and I have the right to access good medical care and a better job market and the opportunity to take a vacation but yet I and many people still complain how bad life in America is becoming yet just to the south of us people look at our country and envy the lives we get to live. The economy is so bad in Mexico that he told me that in 4 years he hasn’t been able to visit his parents because they live in Mexico City and he in Tijuana and doesn’t have the money to travel there to visit his mother and I complain that my parents worked long hours and I never got to see much of them as a child yet he doesn’t seem to cite that as problem, I can’t comprehend not being able to afford to visit my parents for 4 years yet this man seems to work hard and enjoy life and not complain about those sorts of things. Before he left my company he thanked me for being able to share part of his life story and his perspective on America and Mexico, he was thankful to me when I was the one who was humbled, I was the one who was shown I have a good life and a good future but despite all of this he was still very thankful. So if you took the time to read this keep it in the back of your mind and remember when you get upset at how the government isn’t working well or whatever remember that to the south of us there are people in a country who can’t afford all the luxuries that even some of the poorest people in our country can afford to put our situation into perspective.
