In first grade, a boy named John— a notorious troublemaker—systematically chased every girl in our class during recess trying to kiss her on the lips. Most gave in eventually. It was easier to give in than keep running. When it was my turn, I turned and faced him, grabbed his glasses off his weasel face, and stomped on them on the hard blacktop. He ran to the principal’s office and cried. In fifth grade, I was asked to be a boy’s girlfriend over email. It was the first email I ever received. He actually told me he wanted to send me an email, so I went home and made an AOL account. We went to a carnival and he won me a Garfield stuffed animal, and then he gave me a 3 Doors Down CD. A few days later, he broke up with me, and asked for Garfield …show more content…
His name was Colin. He was on the lacrosse team with Thomas. He told me that sophomore year, Thomas told everyone on the team what happened that night at Hilary’s. Everyone cheered. Colin said that, even then, he had a crush on me. Even then, he wanted to punch Thomas. Colin and I lost our virginities to each other. Colin said if I got pregnant, he would make me have the baby. He didn’t believe in abortion. Colin said if I got pregnant, he would make me have a C-section. Colin said that if I didn’t have a C-section, my vagina would be too loose for him to ever enjoy having sex with me again. Colin said that he wouldn’t let our child breastfeed. He said his mother gave him formula, and that he turned out just fine. I didn’t get pregnant. Junior year of college, I lived in Denmark for the spring semester and studied at the University of Copenhagen. Copenhagen is one of the safest cities in the world. Guns are illegal there. Pepper spray is illegal there. One night, my friends and I went to a concert at a crowded club in a part of the city I didn’t know very well. I brought a tiny purse with money, my apartment key, and my international cell phone. For some reason it made sense at the time to put my purse inside my friend’s purse. Maybe I didn’t feel like carrying it. We were both drinking. My friend left the concert to go home with her boyfriend. One by one, everyone I was there with left the concert, until I was suddenly …show more content…
Hilary was 22.There was another intern there, an art student from Manhattan named Stella. Bradley needed assistants to help him make bubble wrap paintings. Stella and Hilary would take a syringe and fill the tiny bubbles with different color paints until it formed a mosaic. Bradley always had Hilary stay after Stella left to clean the paintbrushes and syringes. He told Hilary she was beautiful. More beautiful than his wife, who he only married for citizenship. He told Hilary they had a loveless marriage. He told Hilary he wanted to have her beautiful children. They began an affair. He told Hilary has wife knew and didn’t care. He told Hilary he was going to leave his wife
The issue of abortion is one of the most sensitive and controversial issues faced by modern societies. This issue leads to topics of whether abortion is right or wrong, if it is the actual killing of a person, and what actually defines the moral status of a fetus. In this paper, I will be arguing against Bonnie Steinbock, who believes that abortions are morally acceptable. So I will be supporting the view that abortions are not morally acceptable.
The pain of a mother to retell her story about her pregnancy despite of the fact that the baby she is carrying has severe physical defect. On the contrary, a mother who tried to get rid of her baby for personal reasons that she hope will have a positive effect on her future. Judy Nicastro, author of “My Abortion, at 23 Weeks”, claimed that “I believe that parenthood starts before conception, at the moment you decide you want a child, and are ready and able to create a safe and loving home for her or him”. Aside from a practicing lawyer, Nicastro is a wife and a mother of two, Matthew and Kaithlyn.
The guilt eats me alive everyday. Each second passes, still gnawing at my soul. The cries of my unborn baby rings in my ear, waking me as a struggle for sleep. Voices saying you shouldn't do this, repeat on a continuous loop. Every cry, each piece of advice, the sharp pangs of guilt tear me open. My grades have plummeted, I've lost friends and family, my baby because of this. all because of an abortion.
Abortion is an issue that I have a personal connection to because my mother was going to abort me if I was a male. Even though, I do not support abortion, I do think that it’s the mother’s decision if she wants to abort the baby or keep it. I represented my point of view for abortion by drawing out the shape of the mother’s pregnant body. Then, I draw the baby who is sleeping inside the mother’s stomach. As you all know the unborn baby has an umbilical cord to get it’s nutrients from it's mother, so I wrote in the umbilical cord “It’s not anyone’s choice, but my mom’s. On the right side of the poster, I’ll draw the materials that is used to abort the unborn baby.
I sighed and looked at the test, and she was telling the truth, I was pregnant. It was entirely impossible, but that is not what scared me. I threw the test away and picked up my phone. I dialed Ashton’s number, thankfully he was awake. “Dals, it’s three am? What do you need?” Ashton’s raspy voice had shook me to tears. “Look, I just need to talk to you alright.” I say and went into the bathroom. “Ashton, I just took a pregnancy test, and it came up positive, I really need brotherly fucking advice right now!” I cry and he was speechless. “Isnt Michael..” He trailed off and I stayed quiet. “It’s michaels, great.” Ashton sighed. Brooklyn had stirred awake and asked him who he was talking too. The line was quiet for a moment till Brooklyn had
There are many limitations valued when it comes to the right of abortion. The news media still outlines the pros and cons of anti-abortion rights in certain-states-to soon, the entire country. My perspectives on the issue of abortion have been entitled from it to never be banned among citizen’s rights. The reproduction of pregnancy has been emphasized heavily on a mother’s decision to abort their child, but the father of the child plays an active role since he considers to that particular title. Through this current issue, majority of the people against abortion do not seem to have an open mind to how much it primarily affects the decision of the mother amongst her own views of considering abortion.
Women who are planning on having an abortion should consider the health risk associated with the procedure. Not to mention, the abortion procedure can cause many health issues associated with a woman’s body. A pelvic defect can be caused when germs access the uterus and cause contamination within the pelvic locale. Although it can be treated with antibiotics, but if it is not treated with antibiotics a surgery will have to take place (Ramah International). Even though it is normal for a woman to bleed after an abortion, heavy bleeding is out the norm which means the person would need to receive medical help from a doctor. When performing the procedure in giving an abortion the abortionist uses different tools to cut open the cervix this can
There are many things I encounter in my everyday life that bother or disappoint me, but there have been very few that I have felt so strongly about that I am willing to protest against them. One such instance occurred when I was in eighth grade. Being raised in a devout Catholic family my whole life, I have heard time and time again about the irredeemable sin of abortion. Seemingly, not a day passed where I didn’t overhear something regarding the issue. Especially due to having increased exposure to my family as a part of being homeschooled said year. Seeing nothing wrong with giving women the right to their own bodies, I began to look into the issue. Based on the research I had done, I began to grow even more confused as to why my family,
The following day the man not only gave him each location where the girls were taken, his boss and the names of every man involved, the households that purchased one of these kidnapped girls to marry into their family. Sadly, he confessed the location where several girls were buried and the names of the customers who got out of hand playing with the young girls or responsible for giving them an overdose of drugs because they got them pregnant and it was too late for an abortion. Those peoples' names were on the top of the list to kill on sight. My wife rewarded the man, who could no longer sit down, by throwing him back to the mothers so they could cut his throat when they are tired of venting their anger.
The sounds of footsteps coming upstairs, awaken me out of my amazing dream, I figured it was my uncle coming home from work. He usually comes home around 2am but this time it was earlier than he normal comes home, my uncle never came home this earlier unless he had a stressful day from work on his way home he’ll stop at the liquor store. Me being the obedient child that I was I never question an adult. I hear someone opening up my bedroom door, there go them big heavy set steps go again walking towards my bed, the feeling of a touch on my arm made me turn around and there he was my uncle , couldn’t believe he’ll do something so wrong . No stop! Get off of me (slap) noooooo crying out loud; after he was done he went back downstairs, I hurry
She sat on the bench at the bus stop downtown. It was raining, and she clutched her purse over her stomach, protective, like she already knew for sure. The home tests had all been positive, but the internet and WebMD said that could happen sometimes. She never meant for her family to know where she was going that day, but they had given her looks that didn’t even try to hide their disdain for her trip to a clinic. Her parents were very strict, and she had broken rule number one.
"For now we are safe," she said biting her lip wondering if that was true.
In September of 2012, I was in grade 10 at the time, I was with a bunch of friends. My friends and I were talking, having a
The article I found on the effects of abortion was a true story of a medical student who was pro-choice. He thought that since the baby is inside of the female, she should get to decide what happens to the baby. He thought that the woman had every right to determine the fate of her child because it was part of her, but in reality, it is not part of her, but part of God. Here is the beginning quote from the article of what he thought:
Panicked, I told my mom right when I got into the car and she was just broken and sad because she had no idea that I would ever do something like that. When both families got together, it was decided for that she would get an abortion and so that following weekend we did just that. Upon arrival, there was a church protesting people not to go inside and proceed with their abortion, we walked in and signed her in and she went to the back. I sat in the lounge and continued to hear the chants of the crowd outside saying “God loves your child don’t do it” as the minutes passed I started thinking about the decision that was made for me and I felt immediate guilt about what was happening, but by then it was already too late, the abortion had happened.
