In 54 countries (61% of the worlds population) abortions are legal
In 97 countries (39% of the world population) abortions are illegal
There are approximately 46 million abortions conducted each year, 20 million of them obtained illegally.
Okay, so I was going to write this post about abortion. About abortion statistics and everything, but in my research I came across this site. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Pretty much everything this person argues is what I've been arguing for a really long time.
This is what bothers me the most about so many people who are pro-life. They want abortion to be illegal, but they don't want to do anything to help out the mother once they are forced to have this child. They also don't want to do anything about educating people about how to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
I think compramise is a must in this situation. I think the most important thing here should be reducing the number of abortions. That is just not going to happen by simply making abortion illegal. People like to pretend that there is a simple solution to this problem. There just isn't.
"It seems so often the Pro-Lifers only care about the fetus until it is born, then suddenly lose interest in his or her welfare. Two thirds of women who have an abortion cite the reason — the inability to afford a child. Women can't raise kids without jobs or income. If you are seriously pro-life, you have to see to it mothers have access to the resources to raise kids. Yet usually pro-lifers are Republican who actively campaign to let the jobless starve to death and to let industry lay off at will."
I am so tired of people using abortion as an excuse to vote Republican. I think it is a cop out and I think that people who do it are avoiding the real issues with abortion and simply looking for an easy way out. The Republican party is using these people, exploiting them to get into and stay in power. The Republican party has no idea what a "culture of life" is. They just use it as a catch phrase to get more votes.

I am an African American woman with naturally kinky/coarse hair. I decided to stop using
relaxers over a year ago, furthermore straightening my hair became a difficult task. I could never seem to get the results I was looking for out of a flat iron without going to a professional hair salon and
spending $65.00 a visit. I previously used FHI ceramic flat irons which straightened my hair and then left it frizzy again within the next hour. A hairstylist friend of mines suggested the Babyliss Pro
Titanium irons. I purchased them from Amazon for $70 bucks and received them in about 5 days. "A miracle!!" I can't live without them now. My hair goes from frizzy/kinky to silky/straight/shiny in the blink
of an eye. The best part is that it "STAYS" silky and straight until the next time I need to wash and straighten. No gimmic here. I highly recommend them over chi and fhi.
This product is perfect for my curly hair. It leaves it looking beautiful w/o being
crunchy. I live in a very humid place and I've finally got my go-to product. It's taken me years to find something this good!
I have only used this product one time since I purchased it. I purchased it specifically for a special occasion where I would have my hair down. I have tight
curly hair gets very big and frizzy as it dries. The product did define the curls and they did not frizz after they dried. I have not used it regularly because I usually keep my hair pulled back in a twist.
I am satisfied with the product, but I prefer to use the Moroccanoil oil for daily use.
