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
I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 53) who enjoys books, getting out into nature, music, and daily exercise.

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.

A bore shun

Abortion, is it interesting?

Shun being a bore!  Killing your baby is exciting, I guess.  Then again, childbirth isn’t exactly sensory deprivation, either.   A B or T?  huh?  And what do charged particles have to do with it (ions) ?   Well, some think abortion is positive, others negative.  I pulled that one out of my hat!   Boring Ions become interesting, when we’re talking about human babies!  A B or T, a baby or a cross (to bear).   Geez, this word is packed.   It even has OR, as in choice.  Okay, I’ll stop being crazy and deconstructionist (although boredom, particles, choice, and crosses turn out to be surprisingly relevant).   There's also ABO blood type.  Bloody hell, man.


There are 98 pages of Justice Alito (draft decison).  I read the first 8.  He’s logical and ordered, and I guess I’ll trust him to make an intelligent decision.  I don’t want to read 98 pages.   I can do that.  I’m not on the court.  I’m not even a lawyer!  Different things are interesting to different people.  I’m shunning boredom.  Then again, maybe it's interesting.  I haven't read it.  Don't knock it til you've tried it, lol.   J/k.


In other news, I finished the (almost 1000 page) DFW book, Infinite Jest, yesterday.  About time.


ARGUMENTS PRO AND CON


Abortion


Pro

If a mother doesn’t want her kid, then the kid is better off dead

Chemical abortions aren’t nearly as nasty and gruesome as the d&e kind

It’s morally the equivalent of a steak

Overpopulation

Ensures all children are wanted

Krill

Rape and incest and life of the mother

Devil approves

Sex is fun, best sex is uninhibited

Perhaps fetus not quite human yet

Fetus equivalent to a tumor, leech

If illegal, women will die from unsafe abortions

Abortion doctors income, industry $

Truth; Reinforces people as basically meat (not souls)


Con

Life begins at conception

Adoption!!  Love your kid, (and yourself)

Morally repugnant: mothers murdering their own children

Not a tumor.   A human being.  Helpless, too.

   More like a siamese twin, connected to mother

If abortion is legal, human life is degraded, 

   murder of adults, by extension, becomes logical, if not permitted

Procreative sex is better? (says priests who take a vow of chastity)

   Reproduction as giving meaning, purpose to life


I truly see both sides

I don’t care

If it were my kid, I’d want it to live

Maybe some people shouldn’t be having kids


What arguments am I omitting?


Abortion: 

PRO


The Darkness

Everybody Can Kill Their Baby (a Source of Pain)


Before birth, after birth, during birth, what does it matter

Kill your toddler, kill your teenager, kill your adult

  Kill ‘em all, says Metallica

Hostility is the American Way

Pro-Choice:  You can choose to kill anybody you like

You can be an assassin, a soldier, a thrill-killer, it’s all the same

Kill some time, make a killing, tell a joke that kills!

KIll someone you disagree with, kill who your president tells you to

Kill for fun!  Because you like the scream, the fight, the spatter!

Kill your fetus.Little fucker.Goddamn leech. Murder the son of a bitch.

Kill your mind.  Get wasted.  Kill your sorrows.  Get completely drunk.

Kill the lights.  Kill two birds with one stone.  Kill the kkk.   Kill! Kill! Kill!


CON


The light

Thou shalt not kill!  Make love, not war, God is a Creator

Peace, love, happiness, health, wealth!!  God is love

Love love, yourself, your children, your fetus, life

Love everyone, even those that hate you, love ‘em all


On second thought, I remain pro-life

I do care, a little

(plus, I was adopted)


Does demand for adoptions meet or exceed the number of abortions?

(in the US)? and (worldwide)?

Adoption is a loving choice, and not an immoral choice

Love your baby, love yourself, and do the right thing!

   Your baby, and his or her family, will thank you


So, adoption demand, 

Some sources estimate that in the US, about 2m couples are waiting to adopt

Which is a 36:1 ratio of couples waiting to adopt for every one child placed for adoption (!)


The number of couples waiting to adopt (US)= x,

     “no statistics, but est. between 1-2M couples”

           (worldwide)= y (couldn’t find)

The number of abortions (US)= 1.2M , 

          (worldwide)=y (couldn’t find)

(Says google)

The average child waiting for adoption waits more than 3 years 

So, dozens of couples competing for each child


The demand for adoptions meets or exceeds the number of abortions, is my point.
