I hate talking about controversial topics because I know I’ll end up getting mad at stupid shit that comes out of people’s mouths. It’s so ridiculous that makes you just think “what the fuck?”.
On my internet home, the topic of abortion was brought up. It stemmed from this blog post. I have enough problems with the original post… but what riled me up more was this comment:
“I'm against it. It would be incredibly difficult if someone was pregnant after being raped. That would be a horrible grey area I suppose. After thinking about it, I guess two wrongs still don't make a right. I think the best option would be to put the child up for adoption to someone who could give it the love and care it deserves.”
I can’t wrap my head around this sort of thinking. So … okay, you were raped, that’s cool… and I know you don’t want this kid, but just stay pregnant and give it up for adoption. What?! It doesn’t make sense to me. Or maybe I’m just THAT dense. I’ve never been raped, and I’ve never been pregnant. But, I’m sure if I got pregnant if I was raped I wouldn’t want to keep a child that was a product of that.
I’m all for adoption too. The problem is, that there are already TONS of kids who are waiting to be adopted. Who never even get considered. Who get lost in the system. What about them? Or the kids who end up getting adopted and end up in shitty homes? Don’t they matter? Well, it seems like they don’t to some of these people.
This makes me not want to have
I have never had a lower opinion of humanity than I do now.
And on top of that … in the news: Obama released his birth certificate. Which I don’t think I can even comment on because I’m too busy trying to prepare a martini so I can just forget about all the stupidity I have read in the past couple of days.
I just can't.com right now... Vodka time.

Save some for me. I feel like all of the politically-oriented threads should abandon the no auto-start music rule and just play "SHOTS" in the background. I would enjoy them so much more that way.
Yeah, I'm really disappointed about the birth certificate. Did you see Cobert's responce: http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-national/stephen-colbert-still-has-questions-about-the-obama-birth-certificate-video Effin hilarious!
As for abortion, my body my choice is how I like to keep it. And I'm ok with everyone else doing the same. I know a girl who kept a baby that was a product of a rape, can't say as I'da done the same.
Mix another drink for me.
Congrats on being a blogger of note!
I have vodka for all.
I read your comment on that blog Lily and I totally agree with you. You can say what you would do all you want but until you're in that situation yourself you shouldn't judge.
now it's time for shots! Thank you Nicole for getting that song stuck in my head.
Just stumblednupon your blog from 20SB, love the title and your boldness. Keep it up! It's never too early for a martini
