Questions About Abortion ?

* abortion does not make you bad or evil, no matter what your reason!!!* –

I have received quiet a few questions about my experience with abortion, so I am going to soon be making a video answering those questions… But before I begin, as noted in a previous post, I want to let others ask questions, if there is anyone who has them. Or, if you need someone to talk to, before or after, if you are considering abortion, if you are curious about what it is like (late term and pill), funding, procedure, etc… whatever question you may have… please, ask away and if it hasn’t already been asked I will do all I can to answer to the best of my ability.

I am not a professional but I have lived it and am a devoted researcher/writer/advocate for abortion…and I hope this will allow me to help someone else. NO*- I don’t think I’m special and i can’t tell you what is right for you; all i can say is follow your heart, you know the right answer for you.

Abortion doesn’t make you an evil or bad person. That much i DO know. i don’t need to know a persons reason for whatever it is, if it is right for you; then that’s all that matters. It doesn’t mean abortion is hard or easy; it varies person to person, situation to situation; and that is okay. No matter what you feel, or think you should or should not feel; it is okay. You’re not alone. Regardless of how you currently feel, you are NOT bad or anything negative based on your choice- anti’s may want you to believe that or feel that way… but it is not true.

And that fact is more than just an opinion. Science and medical evidence/research proves their is nothing murderous about it. Religious zealots can lie all they want, but it doesn’t make the facts any less true. Just as, if they are so pro life, one would think they would consider the quality of life for the mother.

Anyhow… There we are! More soon, still working on quiet a few articles to post… Thanks to any one who continues to stay as a follower, even when I’m quiet.

And though I don’t know everything I do know what is right for me… I do know what I believe to be right and wrong, (abortion is not a wrong to me, if you’ve not guessed)- and my main goal here is I want to do all I can to ensure women never feel evil for having a medical procedure. I hope I can offer even one person any amount of help or give them even a bit of peace with some of the answers I’ll be giving, based my experience. I am not ashamed, I do not regret it.
i’ll have my “answers video” up within the week -for anyone interested- 🙂 ALL HATE AND NEGATIVE COMMENTS WILL BE IGNORED- I have no time to waste on those who have no intention of listening to truth and who give no consideration to a women.

So waste your time if you want, but it will be ignored, no matter how funny and/or insane i find it to be.
*remember you are NOT evil! be strong, if you need to talk; message me or email me and i shall respond asap.

Update on Upcoming Project(s) RE: Women’s Health, Abortion & The Forgotten…

…And the forgotten. That was me, searching for answers, looking for other women who felt as I was feeling during pregnancy. I searched the internet for hours, not knowing the terms to look for, being faced with ridiculous and religious hate posts instead discouraged me from seeking out other women who had been in (or still was) in the place I was in.

I was then pregnant for the first time, and didn’t fully come to terms with this reality until a few weeks in when I began to feel the changes and realize me and my husband’s life would change forever. Not only this, but it strengthened my flashbacks and other mental issues. I continued to search for anyone to talk to about everything; the situation I was in.

But depression during pregnancy still was something the majority of people only spoke of as being “antenatal depression” and I could find very little at the time I needed it most on mental health, pregnancy and abortion. I wanted my pregnancy done, or my life over.

So, the reason I am going to write on depression, mental health and abortion is because that was a huge part of my story, and I hope to offer women a place on my site to see they are not alone nor are they evil for how they feel.

In my opinion, why a woman has an abortion is her own, and that’s all there is to it. If it is right for you for, reason does not matter. It doesn’t mean you are any more right or wrong for having an abortion. The above photo/quote is the truth about abortion for it is no one’s business but your own, and abortion is a medical procedure; nothing more.

But the reason I am speaking about myself at the moment is again, because

Plans for Resource Pages for Victims of Domestic Abuse & The Like

Over the next week I will be working on numerous projects as well as attending some personal business, but as I can, I am working on putting up more info, resources, links, hotlines, shelter locations and the like for abused women and men in North America as well as all over the world.

Right now both pages are a bit of a mess, please bare with me as I do this. Regardless of where you are from, if you have a page I either have not listed or probably would not know about regarding abuse, rape, abortion (helpful pro-abortion ONLY) please comment or email for it to be included…

I have been impacted pretty much by everything I write about on this site in one way or another. I also know how hard it is to find resources, especially when in distress. My hope and goal for the pages on my site are to provide a “one stop” for people in need. Please bare with me as I work on building these pages up.

In the near future, I will be creating a “sister” page to this site dedicated solely to racism, the prison industry and the war on the people, aka, the war on drugs as well as drug and legal information. One step further, I also would like a mental health page up….But one step at a time, aye? 🙂

Thanks again to all the readers who have stayed with me as I have been going through this silent spell, and a huge thanks to the new ones also… I will return to my normal writing self soon, hopefully with a lot of improvements!

 

10 Myths Regarding Birth Control ….

This is taken from Women’s Health Magazine but is something I think everyone -especially women- need to know and remember… In the future I hope to have a section up dedicated solely to myths regarding not only birth control but also abortion, health care as well as police brutality and the war on drugs… Until then, here is the first myth exposing article 🙂 link to original post at bottom.

Myth #1: The Pill makes you gain weight
Reality: The truth is, it might depend on your prescription. In 2011, researchers at the Cochran Database System Review analyzed 49 studies that compared a variety of birth control methods with placebos and found no evidence that birth control causes weight gain. However, a 2009 study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that women using the Depo-Provera shot gained an average of 11 pounds and increased their body fat by 3.4 percent over three years, though they’re not sure what caused this effect. If you’re concerned about gaining weight, talk to your doctor about the best option for you.

Myth #2: You don’t need to be on birth control if you’re breastfeeding.
Reality: This very common myth is totally false—and probably to blame for many unplanned pregnancies—says Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine. The truth: breastfeeding exclusively (without supplementing with formula) can suppress the hormones from the pituitary gland that make you ovulate, says Minkin. So while there’s certainly a dip in your fertility at this time, it’s nowhere near foolproof. “And if you breastfeed sometimes while supplementing with formula, all bets are off,” says Minkin.

Myth #3: You have to take the Pill at the same time every day.
Reality: Despite what you may have heard, taking the Pill at the same time each day does not make it more effective, says Vanessa Cullins, M.D., Vice President for External Medical Affairs at Planned Parenthood. This common belief is only true if you’re taking the mini-pill (a progestin-only birth control pill which must be taken at the same time every day), however the majority of women take the regular birth control pill, which contains a combination of estrogen and progestin. That said, you might want to stick to a strict schedule if you have trouble remembering to take it or if you’re on a very low-dose form of the Pill, as you may experience some breakthrough bleeding, says Alyssa Dweck, M.D., co-author of V is For Vagina.

Myth #4: Being on the Pill for a long time will make it harder to get pregnant later.
Reality: It might seem hard to believe, but it’s possible to get pregnant as soon as you stop taking birth control, says Minkin. This holds true for all methods of hormonal contraceptives, with the exception of the Depo-Provera shot. It can take up to 6-9 months for all of the hormones in the shot to leave your body before your fertility is restored. That said, it’s still possible to get pregnant during this time, so don’t count on this buffer period for contraception. The bottom line: Birth control will not screw with your fertility long term, says Minkin.

Myth #5: Newer forms of birth control aren’t as safe as the older brands.
Reality: You may have heard that newer forms of birth control—like Yasmin, Yaz, or NuvaRing—come with more hormones and more health risks than the old standbys. The truth is, the newer the birth control, the fewer hormones it contains, says Minkin. And while some studies have shown a slightly higher risk of blood clots in women taking newer forms of birth control, the increase is extremely low and still much lower than your risk of developing a clot while pregnant, says Minkin.

Myth #6: You shouldn’t get an IUD unless you’ve already had children.
Reality: Anyone looking for super-effective pregnancy prevention should talk to their gyno about the IUD—even if they haven’t had a kid yet. The reason for this misconception is that some forms of the IUD (like Mirena and ParaGuard) are generally recommended for women with children, since your cervix and uterus are slightly larger after giving birth, which should make implantation and use more comfortable, says Minkin. However, a newer IUD called Skyla is slightly smaller and delivers a lower dose of hormones, making it perfect for non-moms, too. Plus, the IUD is 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy—so don’t knock it just because you’re childless.

Myth #7: It’s unhealthy to use birth control to skip your period.
Reality: It may seem sneaky and taboo to manipulate your monthly flow by taking two months of pills back to back—but the truth is, it’s totally safe. “If you are a good candidate to be on birth control in the first place—you’re healthy, you don’t have high blood pressure that’s uncontrolled, you’re not over 35 or a smoker—then you are indeed a candidate for fiddling around with your cycle,” says Minkin. Just be prepared for some breakthrough bleeding, which is more likely if you just started a new pill, if you’re on a tri-phasic pill (like Ortho Tri-Cyclen), or if you delay it for more than a month or two.

Myth #8: Using a condom seriously diminishes his pleasure.
Reality: Forget what you’ve heard about condoms screwing with your sex life. Both men and women enjoy sex with condoms just as much as they do without them, according to a recent study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. So if you’re looking for a hormone-free birth control method, don’t be swayed by the myth that condoms can kill the moment. Check out these pleasure-enhancing options, and keep a stash at your place. That way, you’ll be prepared if a guy tries to use one of these lines to avoid wrapping it up.

Myth #9: All birth control is now free.
Reality: While the Affordable Care Act is changing the way you’re charged for birth control, that doesn’t necessarily mean that all contraception is totally gratis all the time. There are still a few glitches, and you may need to check with your employer or insurance agency to find out what is covered and when, says Minkin. For instance, your insurance may only cover a generic version of your pill or they may not cover anything until you renew your plan. And according to final rules passed in June 2013, religious organizations may be exempt from covering birth control for their employees.

Myth #10: Your body needs a break from birth control.
Reality: The only reason to take a vacation from your contraceptives is if you’re hoping to get pregnant. Other than that, you can stay on your chosen method of birth control for as long as you want, says Minkin. The only exception: Depo-Provera, the birth control shot. Because it’s been linked to a greater potential for bone mineral loss, the FDA advises that women only take it continuously for two years.

And while there are plenty of health benefits from being on the Pill, a 1996 analysis of more than 50 studies found that taking birth control was associated with a slightly increased risk of breast cancer, though the risk disappeared after being off the Pill for 10 years. More research is needed, but it’s worth talking to your gyno if you’re concerned.

Abortion Dr. Tiller-LONDON- Screening & ScreenTalk-July 6- East End Film Festival

If you are in the UK – especially London, be sure to check out the film selection regarding the heroic and inspiring Dr. Tiller. A man dedicated to what he believed in, only to be murdered by one of the insane anti-choice/”pro”-lifers. Check it out July 6th, London!!! (information follows below as does link, I must give a very, very quick rant first.

It’s simply astonishing how pro”lifers” support an unjust death penalty system here in the states, yet hate doctors whom perform safe and moral medical practices so much that these “pro-lifers” (aka anti-choicers) somehow think killing innocent adult for caring for his patients is somehow, moral!? Umm, what we do medically is no one’s business, anyway. These “people”‘disgust me.

As a woman who in fact does support 3rd term abortions, and does not consider it murder (because…well…it’s not, simply put), I wish so badly I was in the UK to attend… It seems I’m always in the wrong country or city when things like this happen >.< anyhow! So London & all you in the UK who can go; below are the details and the link for tickets & etc. Ohhh I wanna go!!!
