North Dakota Abortion

As you might know by now, I am from North Dakota.  Recently our legislature began pushing a new bill that would outlaw abortion past six weeks after conception.  This created quite the rousing for all North Dakota citizens.  Whether you are pro-life, pro-choice, or somewhere in between, isn't really relevant in this post as I'm not going to get into a huge debate about it.

The interesting thing I found in this story was the number of people on my Facebook feed that would openly post either for or against the new bill.  Again, don't want to debate, but I believe it should be up to the mother and only the mother.  I don't believe any slut that has had 9 abortions already should be able to get one either and I personally would never want to abort something that I helped create, but that's debating and we'll stay away from that.  The point of the post is why would you want to kill something that you created in your body? It isn't about if you can or can't do it, but why would you want to? What part of a person makes the decision for someone to kill a part of them that they took part in creating? 

As I go further into this, it's becoming harder and harder to not debate, but just hang in there.

Recently my sister lost her baby a little over two weeks before her due date.  My sister is over 30 years old and has been trying to have a child for awhile now.  How fair is that?  Someone who wants a child more than probably I could ever imagine, only to have nature decide that she can't.  On the other hand, there are thousands of people every day that forcibly end their child's life.

I understand there are many exceptions to abortion and every story is different, but I can't even fathom the logic behind that.  Someone that wants a child so much and is denied and someone who doesn't want one at all, only to have it destroyed.

It doesn't quite make sense to me but what am I to do about it?  If you feel like putting in your two cents to this post, I hope you do.

Relationships

I'm pretty sure I've referred to relationships in this blog before, but I'm going to do it again, so deal with it.

Relationships...are just confusing.  All around.  Confusing. Friends, more than friends, not even friends, coworkers, family, it doesn't matter, relationships are just confusing.

The particular relationship I'm speaking of is a friendship I have with a female.  Now, it's not anything serious at all, just putting that out there.  It's just that I don't know what to think of the interactions I do have with this individual.

Here's the background story:

I was sitting at work a few evenings ago (on the computer of course) and I had a status on Facebook.  I'm just going to stop for a second and say life would be so much easier if there was more personal interactions instead of interactions over technology.  Anyway, this particular person, who I went to high school with, commented on my status, and we went back and forth for a bit, and then she pops me up on messenger and just gives me her phone number.  At first, I just thought "Cool, I got a number."  I didn't really think much of it, but then I started thinking more and more about it and here I am, confused.

I'm not trying to get all crazy over this or anything, but it just seemed really weird to me.  I had very little interaction with this person when I was in high school because she is a couple years younger than me and she gave me her number based on what?  That's what I don't understand and why I am so confused.  WHY?  What made her decide she was going to give me that number and tell me to text her?

I'm probably over-thinking the whole thing, but I like to think about things like this.

Relationships.

Well, that's all the story I have for you tonight.  Until next time, maybe it was the blue pill?
