My thoughts on Stupak

I used to be pro-life until I watched a special on tv about "feral children"....Because you have a uterus does not mean you can be a parent. We have an enormous population already of unwanted children. Some mothers that don't want to be parents make bad choices during pregnancy leading to conditions and disabilities, some not recognizable for years. These children pay the price for not being "wanted" as do the tax payers that ultimately end up taking care of them medically and financially.I realize now that I can not be pro-life as I cannot force another woman to make a choice about her uterus, period. But on that note, I also cannot force parents to love a child that they don't want. These children have been denied human touch, love, eye contact, an education. They have been chained to toilets during the day and chained to their bed at night wearing diapers for their "caregivers" convenience. Some end up unable to walk nor speak due to their formative years being in a vacuum of neglect and abuse. Yes for birth control, abstinence and adoption. Reality is that for whatever reason some women, men and their family units will not make these choices. An unwanted child living in deplorable conditions is not a life. Even after they are rescued, if they ever are, they don't heal. The point is, when speaking about being anti-abortion "back-alley abortions" are usually brought up, but who is bringing up the fact that unwanted fetuses often grow up to be unwanted children. This is in addition to the daily stories of unwanted children being murdered by their parents...I'd find the links, but they would fill pages....

How come my voice has no sound?

It doesn't seem to matter what I say, can sound be invisible? I talk to the kids, I talk to myself, I talk to my family....it all seems to fall on deaf ears. I think if I could join a silent cult, where nobody ever talked so nobody had to listen, it would be Utopia. I quite often wonder why I was given vocal chords....it seems that I am either putting both feet in my mouth or repeating myself for the umpteenth time. Everytime I find myself echoing a previous conversation, thought, sentence, I just want to say nevermind, but the same people that don't listen get offended by nevermind, my guess is it is a useless battle to fight. I need to fully realize that the things that I find important are not shared by others. I accept that I am not as smart as I thought, not as useful and will never be. My only hope is that I can be an effectual educator to my children and raise men with more self esteem than myself. Why do the Paris Hiltons of the world, the Heidi Montags, the John Mayers find an audience of millions and I can't find an audience of my own family?

So Frustrated

Grr, arg....not in control of anything...and that is for a girl that loves being in control. I don't choose my daily curriculum or what the kids need to be taught. I am still a slave to the disability gods and their rules regarding amount of income. I am a slave to what vaccines I cannot choose for my children as selective vaccination is contrary to a religious exemption. I am dependant on another for financial support. Can't put holes in the wall as I don't own the home. Can't switch credit cards as my income has so radically changed, no sane person would extend me credit. I bow to the master that is my hormone fluctuations and my back pain. I am dependant on others' for healthcare which means I take what I can get including an incompassionate doctor and an unsanitary dentist. I make few decisions regarding my eldest, even though it is in his best interest. Remember the phrase "when you grow up, you can be anything"? It's a lie, you grow up to be a part of the machine. Nobody cares, you are insignificant. The best you can do is raise your kids right so that none of you are ever featured in the news or on the top 10 list. That is all you can really strive for. The politicians running this country that are bought and sold, the doctors that take the hippocratic oath and yet get involved in medicare schemes, tax evasion and illegal prescription drug rings. Whole countries that are bought and sold for their votes in the IWC...more later
