Blog Post # 2

I have always been fascinated with the whole view on abortion.  I come from a very religious family, and a lot of my family believes that abortion is wrong.  However, I do not see that.  I am also not one for politics, because it just leads to fighting, fighting, and go figure, more fighting.  I found a video that brings up the political views of abortion and birth control.  Rick Santorum had a video leak out that shows his views on birth control.  He says that he doesn't approve of birth control because he thinks it is not healthy for a woman's body, that birth control is harmful to our society, and that it promotes sex outside of marriage.  Well let me be the first to say, this is not part of the olden days.  People now a day don't have the same morals as people in the past do.  I can say straight up that I know at least 15 girls in my high school graduating class that have had a child before their graduation day.  These days, people don't exactly think ahead of times, and if they do, it is because of what they see in the media.  Rick Santorum is just another man thinking that he knows more about a woman's body than we do.  If you watch the video, Barbra has a great point.  Why is it that this is one of the most important topics in the elections.  We have a lot more problems in this country.  If you don't want to take birth control then don't.  It is up to a woman to decide how she wants to limit her family and it should be no one else's business.

This is a great video.  The girls get very into it and they get very defensive for their views.  Watch it! It is really good.
