Million Vaginas, HI and Thank You!

 YAY!!!!!  My blog was re tweeted.  I think that this is the first time that I have been re tweeted on my political blog.  The blog was about my initial feelings on the restrictions on the Abortion law signed by Mike Pence.  I applaud Governor Pence for taking the gauntlet and signing his name to a law that he morally believed in.  He signed a law that will either help in his re-election or it will make him a four term governor only.  We need leaders of any political party to be honest living a life as a leader that is from their hearts.  For example, I may not agree with Senator Bernie Sanders, but he has said that he is a socialist.  I applaud him for it because President Obama is still trying to convince the country that he actually cares about the constitution.  He loves his pen and his phone in order to sign executive orders.  Which leader would you rather have?  The leader who does his best to pull the wool over our eyes of the governor that votes his morality and ethics.  My choice would be the leader that will not worry about his re-election, but will sign his name to a law that he feels morally doesn’t contradict his soul.  Glenn Beck ask those politicians he interviews, “How is your soul?”  I feel that we know the soul of Mike Pence.  He doesn’t go with the popular crowd just to have a political gain, yet he will sign a law that he believes is the right thing to do for those who are not yet born to have a voice.  What does this have to do with the group Million Vaginas? 
            The group Million Vaginas re-tweeted my blog regarding the restrictions on abortions because the child has Down syndrome, disability or any other special needs.  The law also includes that women have restrictions including sex, race or nationality of the child.  Why did the group re-tweet?  My assumption is that I disagree with their “I am woman hear me roar” mantra.  I agree with the mantra, but then my mantra includes, “I am woman hear me roar because I believe in God, my husband is the head of the household, women should own guns, staying at home is ok and at my age I will not abort my child should I get pregnant.”  Or “I am a God fearing, Jesus loving, gun toting, tea party sympathizer, Libertarian.”  I agree, “I am woman hear me roar.”  YAY!!!! 
            If you do not know who Million Vaginas are here is there mission statement from their website. https://onemillionvaginas.wordpress.com/about/
“To encourage and inspire women from all over America, all ages, all beliefs, all kinds of lives and experiences from all 50 states, and the friends and family that love and cherish them, to come together and stop allowing our most personal decisions to be fodder for the Neo-Con political hash mill. Our lives are not their moral crises, our choices are not their ethical lapses.

If you think you’re too small to make an impact, remember how annoying it is to try and sleep with a mosquito in your bedroom. We took back the night, now it’s time to take back control over our reproductive destiny.  One person can take a stand, one million individuals is a force to be reckoned with. Be heard!”
I do not think that they will be calling this God fearing, stay at home mom, gun toting mama anytime soon.  They accept all women?  I don’t think that they would accept me.  Why? Because I am a conservative woman that does not believe that abortion is the answer because you couldn’t find it in yourself to close your legs or use BIRTH CONTROL.  Have a good evening.  I was re-tweeted.  YAY ME!

Abortion law in Indiana

     The talk in Indiana especially with women regarding the law that Mike Pence signed a month ago.   This law highlights Abortion restrictions here in the state of Indiana.  The restrictions according to Indystar.com is as follows, a woman can not have an abortion if the child is faced with the diagnosis of Down Syndrome.  The other restrictions are that a woman can not get an abortion in accordance with race, nationality or sex of the child.  I honestly being a woman myself have nothing wrong with this bill.  
     My thoughts and belief on the subject has changed over the years.  I was pro-choice when I voted for primarily democrat liberal leaning leaders in both state and national elections.  I believed that a woman if she were in the first trimester of pregnancy could get an abortion, but in that second trimester termination of the pregnancy should not be allowed nationally or by the state.  I also believed that a sixteen year old child should have written and accompanied by a parent or guardian. This in my eyes was perfectly reasonable and something both liberal and conservative citizens could agree on.  In the last few years as my relationship with God changed with seeking a all encompassing relationship with God and allowing him to be first place my positions both spiritually and politically began to change.  I began to ask myself "what if " questions.  " What if I knew my son would be autistic?"  "Would I end my pregnancy because he is Autistic?"  My answer was a definite, " No!" Yes things have been challenging as a mom of a child with special needs.  I would not want my son to change anything about him.  I love his mannerism, he is my first son and child and I love who he has become.  He is a historically funny kid.  If I were asked, " What if he had Downs Syndrome?" My answer would be the same as the first.  
     These special needs are not a death sentences and I am a offended by groups such as, "Periods for Pence" who call the Governor with their reports on how well their periods are doing that week or day.     This organization is disgusting.  Mike Pence does not care about your menstrual cycle.  Governor Pence cares that a baby with Down Syndrome can be so easily cast aside because people are too lazy to cross their legs or use birth control.  I know it is easy for me to say then practice.  It really is just that easy.
     I didn't have children until I was married and I had enough sense to know that I was too old to have children when I met the love of my life, Barry, and married the second time.  I have four amazing kids and the thought that I could have made a choice years ago because I would have missed out on all the fun does not enter my mind.  These children are from God.  

Please think twice before making a life altering decision.  There are people who would love to adopt and there are ways to help you be the parent that you were meant to be.  God doesn't make mistakes.  He makes angels.
