  • Forced Delivery vs. #Abortion – AfterCare Must Be Considered

    Forced Delivery vs. #Abortion – AfterCare Must Be Considered

    With the overturn of by the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2022, abortion policies and reproductive rights are in the hands of each state. Most states repealed abortion bans in effect as of 1973 once Roe made them unenforceable. However, some states and territories never repealed their pre-Roe abortion bans.

    What is the definition of abortion; bring to a premature end because of a problem or fault:

    Restrictive abortion regulation can cause distress and stigma, and risk constituting a violation of human rights of women and girls, including the right to privacy and the right to non-discrimination and equality, while also imposing financial burdens on women and girls. Regulations that force women to travel to attain legal care, or require mandatory counseling or waiting periods, lead to loss of income and other financial costs, and can make abortion inaccessible to women with low resources.


    During the SOTU Biden stated:

    Folks, you all know 12 years is not enough to win the economic competition for the 21st Century.

    If you want America to have the best-educated workforce, let’s finish the job by providing access to pre-school for 3- and 4-year-olds.

    And we’re making progress by reducing student debt and increasing Pell Grants for working- and middle-class families.

    Let’s finish the job, connect students to career opportunities starting in high school and provide two years of community college, some of the best career training in America, in addition to being a pathway to a four-year degree.

    Let’s offer every American the path to a good career whether they go to college or not.

    Forced pregnancy at the hand of a violent man, forced again at the hands of many men and broken women - NO ONE PROVIDES HER TOOLS, CARE OR CONCERN

    The insanity of uneducated folk making decisions about human beings when they can’t understand why a wolf is and is not considered an endangered species. GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s bill to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act faced its first subcommittee hearing Thursday. But before she talked about her bill, Boebert started with an aside, showing photos of human babies she said was born in Washington, D.C., with what looked like birth defects. Boebert, a staunch anti-abortion supporter, then asked if her Democratic colleagues would want to put babies on the Endangered Species Act.

    You’re going to kill me, before or after the abortion after my rape; who has not been caught.

    Where is the mandated child support because a single woman was raped?

    Where are the college funds and free child care so the little girl that was raped can finish high school and college?

  • Rape Victim’s Baby May Hold the Keys to the Cure for Cancer

    #Abortion – 13 Years Old – #Ohio

    #JeanSchmidt – State Representative Jean Schmidt is currently serving her first term as State Representative for the 65th #Ohio house district, which includes northwestern Clermont County, specifically parts of #Loveland and Milford, all of #Newtonsville and #Owensville and #Goshen, Miami, #Stonelick, Union and Wayne townships.

    She said pregnancy from rape is actually a chance for a woman to raise a child, send them to live with a family member or put them up for adoption. That hypothetical child, she argued, could someday cure cancer. “Rape is a difficult issue and it emotionally scars the individual, all or in part, for the rest of their life ― just as child abuse does. But if a baby is created, it is a human life and whether that mother ends that pregnancy or not the scars will not go away period,” said Schmidt.

    “It is a shame that it happens, but there’s an opportunity for that woman – no matter how young or old she is ― to make a determination about what she’s going to do to help that life be a productive human being. … That child can grow up and be something magnificent,

    I wonder what hallway of hell she came from let’s look at a few scenarios:

    1. An 13-year-old can’t vote, drive, serve in the armed forces, buy liquor or a gun they can’t understand the long-term risks and consequences of making adult-size decisions for another life – they freak out when the wifi isn’t working.

    2. She comes from a wealthy family whose income is NOT below the poverty guidelines she’s not eligible for Medicaid – so her parents are financially responsible for the medical/dental/ and mental health care of the infant;

    3. She is raped by her father – now the mother is impacted exponentially just like her baby girl who is forced to carry her father’s child from a rape;

    4. Jean actually thinks other family members are willing adopt the rapist’s baby – now the little girl has a walking breathing reminder of the physical and mental torture she endured perhaps endured OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again because it was Uncle Charles who visited ever other week to babysit for mom dad on date night;

    5.In Maryland if the woman decides to give up the baby conceived by rape – she needs to get permission from the #rapist to put the baby up for adoption:

    6. The rapist goes to jail, serves his time, get’s out and now he wants either visitation or co-parenting rights!

    Men whose brothers or fathers have been convicted of a sex offense are “five times more likely to commit sex crimes than the average male” and that this increased risk of committing rape or molesting a child “may run in a family’s male genes.” A study, published online in the International Journal of Epidemiology, analyzed data from 21,566 male sex offenders convicted in Sweden between 1973 and 2009 and concluded that genetics may account for roughly 40% of the likelihood of committing a sex crime.

    Rape is the forcible violation of the sexual intimacy of another person. It does injury to justice and charity. Rape deeply wounds the respect, freedom, and physical and moral integrity to which every person has a right. It causes grave damage that can mark the victim for life. It is always an intrinsically evil act. Graver still is the rape of children committed by parents (incest) or those responsible for the education of the children entrusted to them.

    I can’t stop asking myself what personal experience has Jean Schmidt NOT healed from that would cause her to have such hellish beliefs about a little girl being raped.

  • Your Children and the News

    Your Children and the News

    With everything going on in the news today, it can be frightening for young people. Here are a few tips to help your child understand/navigate the news.

    Find Out What Your Child Already Knows

        Ask your kids questions to see if they know about a current event. For school-age kids and teens, you can ask what they have heard at school or on social media.

        Consider your child’s age and development. Younger kids may not grasp the difference between fact and fantasy. Most kids realize the news is real by the time they are 7 or 8 years old.

        Follow your child’s lead. If your child doesn’t seem interested in an event or doesn’t want to talk about it at the moment, don’t push.

    Answer Questions Honestly and Briefly

        Tell the truth, but share only as much as your child needs to know. Try to calm any fears and help kids feel safe. Don’t offer more details than your child is interested in.

        Listen carefully. For some kids, hearing about an upsetting event or natural disaster might make them worry, “Could I be next? Could that happen to me?” Older kids may have lots of questions. Focus on what your kids ask so you can help them cope with their fears. An adult’s willingness to listen sends a powerful message.

        It’s OK to say you don’t know the answer. If your child asks a question that stumps you, say you’ll find out. Or use age-appropriate websites to spend time together looking for an answer.

    Help Kids Feel in Control

        Encourage your child to talk. If your child is afraid about what’s going on, ask about it. Even when kids can’t control an event — like a natural disaster — it can help them to share their fears with you.

        Urge teens to look beyond a news story. Ask why they think an outlet featured a frightening or disturbing story. Was it to boost ratings and clicks or because the story was truly newsworthy? In this way, a scary story can be turned into a discussion about the role and mission of the news.

        Teach your children to be prepared, not panicked. For example, if the news is about a natural disaster, make a family plan for what you might do. If an illness is spreading, talk about ways to protect yourself and others.

        Talk about what you can do to help. After a tragic event, finding ways to help can give kids a sense of control. Look for news stories that highlight what other people are doing.

        Put news stories in context. Broaden the discussion from a specific news item about a difficult event to a larger conversation. Use it as a way to talk about helping, cooperation, and the ways that people cope with hardship.

    Limit Exposure to the News

        Decide what and how much news is appropriate for your child. Think about how old your kids are and how mature they are. Encourage them to take breaks from following the news, especially when the topics are difficult.

        Keep tabs on the amount of difficult news your child hears. Notice how often you discuss the news in front of your kids. Turn off the TV so the news is not playing in the background all day.

        Set limits. It’s OK to tell your kids that you don’t want them to have constant exposure and to set ground rules on device and social media use.

        Watch the news with your child and talk about it. Turn off a story if you think it’s not appropriate for your child.

    Keep the Conversation Going

        Talk about current events with your child often. Help kids think through stories they hear – good and bad. Ask questions like: “What do you think about these events?” or “How do you think these things happen?” With these types of questions, you can encourage conversation about non-news topics.

        Watch for stress. If your child shows changes in behavior (such as not sleeping or eating, not wanting to be around people, or worrying all the time), call your child’s doctor or a behavioral health care provider. They can help your child manage anxiety and feel better able to cope

  • The Garbage Can Rolled In Front of #theBus

    The Garbage Can Family

    I won’t be long with this story for the hour is late and I’m not sure where I’m going with this story, I’m so filled with many emotions, fear, guilt, shame, sadness, anger, jealousy and resentment. There once was old lady who live in a shoe she had so many children she didn’t know what to do.  She loved some and disliked others; she would compare her family to other “great” families both near and far.  Her family like most families in the neighborhood had their fair share of problems, cheating husbands, drug addiction, alcoholism, child abuse, lack of education, love and the inability to love.  She wanted something better for herself and I suppose her children – what I think she wanted were trophy’s something tangible that validated who she was and her desire for “something better” that would also give her background meaning and purpose.Garbage at the bus stop

    We all have had moments when we wanted something better, something more, just one more dollar, a better car, a better job or suit/dress to wear to that “better” job.  I ask you to examine yourselves today are you looking for “something better” or “just one more”?  There was a woman who cried out saying, “my husband is dead, and you know the creditor is coming to take my son to be his slave.” So, someone said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Nothing is in the house but a jar of oil.”  He said, “Go, borrow jars from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty jars; do not gather just a few, and when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”  The woman did as she was told, and she poured, and she poured, and she poured, and jars kept coming from out of nowhere.  Her faith in the person that God used to get her through the tough times was beyond belief.  There will come a time when we must all find the strength not in the comfort of those we know but in that “stranger” that God has sent to help us along the way.

    We must ask ourselves what has God given us to help our family, is it our funding, jars of oil, extra garbage bag linings for what we have deemed as “the trash” of our family because they don’t mirror the folks around the corner or the ones in the next town over or even the family on your favorite sit-com, or perhaps all we have to distribute equally and evenly is our love for each one of our family members and then watch our ROI increase…
