For the women who want to fight for women’s rights:

Learn about female circumcision (mutilation) here, and how you can fight to stop it.

Learn about forced abortions in America, and how you can help stop them here.

Learn about female homelessness due to domestic violence and how you can help, here.

Learn how you can help female victims of domestic abuse here.

Learn about sex trafficking and how you can help here. –This is an issue close to my heart because I have a sister who is involved in prostitution.

Learn how you can become a mentor for young girls, here.

Learn how you can help victims of sexual abuse who are close to you, here.

– Because change starts at home, it starts in our communities, and with those closest to us. You can flood the streets in giant vagina costumes, waving vulgar signs, and flashing every bit of skin you have in protest, but just like the pro-lifers are always told, “if you’re so worried about abortion, why don’t you adopt”, if you’re so worried about women’s rights, don’t leave it to the government to “fix the problem”. Get out there and do the dirty work. Get your hands in the muck. Go out and spill your blood sweat and tears with the real victims.

All pro-lifers should be forced to adopt children from the foster care system so they know what it is like to raise an unwanted child

If you're pro-life, then you're also obliged to care about police brutality. Defend life from womb to tomb: you better believe that includes this.

Police aggression is a Christian issue

“Fundamentally the issue of aggressive policing does come down to the value we place on human life,” said Hawkins, a seminarian from the Diocese of Pittsburgh currently studying in Baltimore. 

An African-American who worked as a university professor before entering seminary, Hawkins explained that the question of police aggression and Catholics’ response to it is akin to other questions of dehumanization we face in our society.  

“If you think their lives are expendable and disposable, then you can subscribe to this culture of death, then you don’t become concerned about the high number of unarmed civilians who are dying under contested circumstances.”

Demonstrations are NOT enough

Revisionist history says that everyone in Germany was totally cool with Nazism, but there were over 100k people willing to take to the street to protest the rise of Nazism in Berlin in 1932. 

Even in a time where Nazism was the only platform estimated to bring Germany out of post-war poverty, this many people were willing to stand up against it. 

The Nazis won because this energy was not sustained.

If yesterday was your 1st demonstration, don’t let it be your last! Don’t let it be your only method of resistance!

Lets talk about how hard it is to open up to someone about being sad for no reason. Lets talk about how hard it is to explain to your friends and family that you have this heavy feeling in your chest for no reason. Lets talk about how hard it is to understand why you’re having a panic attack while just taking a walk back home. Lets talk about how hard it is to understand your own self and how scary it is to feel like the whole world is falling on your shoulders and you have no idea why .

Even though 1% of abortions are performed to save the life of the mother, what do you say about this case, as rare as it is? Is it still the right thing to not abort, even if the child will die anyway when the mother does, if it is not yet developed enough to be born before the mother dies?

OK, anon. Here’s my problem with that issue. In almost any medical situation, simply going in and killing the baby will not solve the problem, and that’s what abortion is; going in and killing the child without any other plan in mind. I can understand when a treatment is needed to save the mother’s life, and the child dies as an unfortunate side effect of that treatment; that’s different from abortion. The doctors weren’t /trying/ to kill the child, they were trying to help the mother, and they couldn’t prevent the child’s death. But here’s the thing: every child is ‘just going to die anyway.’ Every human is going to die anyway. That doesn’t make abuse of power okay. The whole point of medical care is to try to preserve human life if at all possible. Just because a toddler will die one day doesn’t make it okay to come into their house and stab them in the brain with scissors or burn them with saline or rip them to shreds with a vaccuum. It’s no more okay when they’re a little younger and a little easier to abuse. Why do we think we should have to pick between helping one or the other? They’re both human beings, both with the inherent dignity therein, both deserving of all the help we can give them, especially in a nation as advanced and prosperous as ours. This question gets thrown around a lot in pro-choice circles, like they think it’s a real ‘gotcha’ question. Like they’re going to somehow corner you into admitting that you care more about an unborn baby than you do about a mother. I can only look at examples in my own life. I know a lady who goes to church with me who has four bitty kids and is pregnant with her fifth. The lining of her uterus is super-thin, and at any moment she could rupture it and die, killing both her and her unborn baby. She’s been unable to deliver her kids naturally, and has endured abuse by family, supposed friends, and medical personnel who think she shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce. But she keeps going, because she loves her kids and believes they’re worth it. When my own mom was miscarrying my sixth sibling, she refused intervention for a week in the hopes of giving our baby every chance to live. Both these mothers love their children, and fought to give them a chance, at the risk of their own lives. No, I don’t believe it’s right to kill a child in the midst of a tragedy.

Trump is such a loser.

[comparsitlaudatio]

As of today, WhiteHouse.gov is no longer a reliable source of information. Trump is using the platform to spread lies. You might want to check it out to see what his new “policies” are, but the lack of information and the misinformation now present on the website are stunning.
