part 3 Some fast facts to keep in mind

Minority Population Targeted

            35% of all abortion clients are African American when they make up about 13% of the population (seem odd to you?)

            4 ½ more times likely than white women to have an abortion.

Used as Birth Control

         46% of women who have abortions reported that they used no contraceptive and more than half are having repeat abortions.

Just to let you know..

The next few post will probly get heavly into the abortion issue.  I am doing alot of studding on this subject and am about ready to teach a seminar to the teens at church about it.I am finding alot of very intresting info and I am getting excited about how God has lead me to where I have come to be able to speak to other about this subject.  If you have kept up with my journal at all you know that this is an important subject for me, I know God can use me where I have been hurt the most.

I just thought I would put that out there, not really as a warning, cuz I would like for all to keep up with what I post, but I know this is a sensitive subject to many.  I just want to say ahead of time, I do not judge anyone, how can I when I have been guilty of it myself, and that Our Lord is so wonderful, and he is quick to forgive if we confess it to him and ask him to.  Just wanted to get that little note out of the way.

One thing I have noticed in my reading of both sides websites and littaure, the war of words.  Depending on your view is depending how you refer to the "other side". Ever noticed that those who are for abortion rights are call themselves Pro-Choice and then they call the other side Anti-abortion. And those who call themselves Pro-Life, call the other side Pro-Abortion.  All words picked very carfuly it seems to me when some one is writting.  I can always tell when some one is "Pro-Choice" when the refer to ppl that are "Pro-Life" as anti-abortion and vice versa.  OH but what I have notied in the media, they never refrance ppl as Pro-Life, they always call them anti-abortion.  Jan is the anv. of Roe vs Wade, so this will be in the news alot and on talk radio alot, just you watch and listion and see if I am wrong on the War of Words thing.

Sad but True

AOL News - Abortion Doctor Sentenced for Sex Abuse "Dr. Brian Finkel, 64, was convicted last month on 22 counts of sexual abuse and acquitted on 34 other abuse charges. More than 30 women testified at his trial that Finkel groped them and inappropriately touched them."
FYI Abortion Doctors are considered the scum of thier perfesion. No one goes to medical school and thinks gee, I will become an abortionist.. This case is no shocker, but I am surprised it did make it into the media, shame they wont report all the malpractice suites agenst practicing abortionists at local clinics when they botch it and send poor women to the hospital. When they get reprimanded, they move on to another state, another clinic. Think about that=-O

part 2

 I walked down and told both boy's mothers what had happen. I was very upset but not yelling, I was trying to be calm. The older boy's mom ofcourse freaked out on him and started slapping him in the head. He ran off and she went and got his dad who is one of the coaches also.  She was majorly pissed and I know she will deal with the situation.  Practice was about over and the other mom was talking with her husband cuz she was dumfounded and didn't know how to deal with the situation. I walked over there and told him also what happen and he said well aperantly we need to watach the kids better but he will talk with the other head coach and something will be done.  I again talked with Lilly and told her to remember that we are not to kiss anyone that is not in our family and never like that boy said to. I also went over the no touching rule again with her (I may have to go and get a video on this subject for her to watch) Certainly I don't feel comfortable bring Lilly and Sophia back up with me to practices now.

I say my worst fear because this is exaclty why I didnt want girls.  I was abused at a young age and NEVER want any of my children to go threw something like that. I have come to peace with what has happen to me in my past but things like this bring it up again. Some of you may laugh this off as just kids being kids or boys being boys, but it is sick and I have to wonder why a boy would do this with little todlers. What has he himself seen or been apart of? This is indeed a sick world.

One of my worst fears.

This evening I had to take Zane and Annie to wresling practice cuz Josh was doing some side work and wouldn't make it.  And since we needed to pay for a ternament Zane is going to tomorrow I had to be up there.  So I had all four kids in tow.  Practice is held at the highschool's wresling room and generaly parents wait out in the hall but can view the kids threw windows.  A few other parents also had to bring thier little ones along so Lilly and Sophia had some playmates.  Tonight an older boy, 11-13ish almost a teenager, sat out cuz he had a broken foot but his sibling was practicing and his mom is active. It wasn't so bad, the kids brought some toys and some one had brought a portable dvd play with Monster's Inc playing. Most of the night the kids ran up and down the hall right there in front of the windows to the wresling room. At the end of the hall there are vending matchines in a corrner space, perty much out of view from down the hall. Lilly was playing with one of the coaches little boy, he is maybe 2 and the older boy. They was tossing a football around at the end of the hall.  I was glancing over there but watching the dvd with Sophia, she was being a brat and I was trying to calm her down. I over heard the older boy say to the little ones, come here I have a game for ya and out of the corner of my eye saw them go into the corrner where you couldnt see them. Mommy alarm went off in me, but I waited a min. to see if they would come out of the corner.  I quietly walked down the hall and peeped in on them.  I saw the older boy instructing Lilly to stick her tounge in the little boy's mouth!!!!!! Right away I grabed the older boy by the ear and pulled him up saying WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING! He said nothing, I didnt make her do it, I didnt tell her to. I let go of him and said she is only 3 yrs old! Don't Lie I saw YOU and asked him his name and his mom's name, that we was going to have a talk! He told me and then ran down the hall. I picked Lilly up and asked her what game they was play and didn't she remember about the no touching rule? She said it was a kissing game and started crying cuz she thought she was in trouble.

Is this YOU??? LOL had to share.

Something for '04

Hope everyone had a fun time lastnight and made it safely home.  We stayed in and watched movies and ate pizza.  My two oldest made it to Midnight and are so proude of themselves. We had thought about going down to Forest Park for the big celabration here in St Louis. They are celbrating the anv of the World's Fair and had the big fairiswheel up.  But we thought it best with the kids to stay home and watching the news I am so glad we did.  They said it was total gridlock down there and many ppl didn't even make it into the park.  The up side is we rented a movie and I want to highly highly recomend it to you all! 

I had heard about his movie when it org. came out but didn't have the time then to go see it.  I was surprised to see it at the video store and just had to get it. I was even more shocked at some of the big name stars they got to do this movie, Gavin MacLeod (LoveBoat and Mary TylerMoore),Hal Linden (Barney Miller),Jenniefer O'Neil (Summer of '42),Paul Rodriguez (the comedian). Some big names for a smaller production and all ppl I had seen in shows growing up.  The movie is a good clean family movie, no cussing or violence but a really well written story and funny yet dramatic. If you like family movies and sci-fi movies, with a good message, this is a must see!! I am currently looking to see if this same company has anyother movies out that we might see.  I will let you all know what I find.  I did find searching the web a site that will edit movies for you to buy if you dont want all that cussing and violnce in your entertainment.  CleanFlims is what the site is called, I may try them out. It was so nice to sit down with the whole family and watch a movie and not have to worry about the junk or having to exsplain something that was inapraite for the kids.
