Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

Your pal, Jess

F.Y.I. There are about 2200 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

Maternal Mortality: Not a reason to abort

My m&m rap

Maternal mortality: In 2000, the United Nations estimated global maternal mortality at 529,000, of which less than 1% occurred in the developed world. However, most of these deaths have been medically preventable for decades, because treatments to avoid such deaths have been well known since the 1950s.

The maternal mortality ratio, of deaths per hundred thousand births, is: world average- 400, (developed regions - 20, developing regions -440). So, 0.4% of mothers die in childbirth, worldwide. In developing regions, it's 0.44%. In the west, it's only 1% of that, so only 0.0044% of mothers die in childbirth, just over 4 for every 100,000 births: Hardly a reason to abort.

See my post on abortion, below, to see how I demolish other arguments for abortion.
It's not just a logical exercise. I'm God, I know what's best. I decree it so.
