Happy birthday, BB! Hope it's freakin' awesome and no one gives you an empty box wrapped in shiny paper as a gift, accompanied by a totally unfunny "HAWHAW APRIL FOOL!".
Ok and question for you ladies. I am currently writing something but I have a dilemma because I am not a female (obviously) and therefore I am not able to have a baby. So, if you were pregnant and you were given the information that you would die giving birth to your baby, would you go through with an abortion to save your life? Or would you let the baby live so they can hopefully lead a loving life? The former. See, I consider myself pro-choice *and* pro-life. Just because I think we should be allowed to choose for ourselves what to do with our bodies doesn't mean I think everyone who gets pregnant ever should have babies cut out of them. But I am pro the life that already exists rather than the life that arguably possibly doesn't yet (and I'm not even going to get into the debate of when a foetus becomes a baby, because I have no idea). If carrying a foetus to term would destroy a life that definitely already exists, be it literally, emotionally, financially, or whatever, then ABORT ABORT ABORT.
But then, I'm possibly not the best person to ask, because I fully expect I will never have children. If the situation is as close to right as it's going to get, then I'll be happy to reconsider, but I'm terribly immature and unstable, and if I brought a child into a world as cruddy as this, I'd spend every day of the rest of my life feeling insanely guilty.
I used to have this kiddy science book that had a brief description of how the world would end when the sun eventually dies. Ever since then, I've had a pretty mild fear of still being alive when the world goes to s**t. For many years, I managed to stave off this fear, but with the world descending into horribleness as fast as it is, I no longer hold the belief that I will be dead when the world eventually goes to hell in a handbasket. I couldn't do that to a child, I couldn't create one and then leave it to try making its own way in a world like this. *shudders*
Aside from my insane morbid streak, I'm actually quite an optimist.
Just thought I'd remind you, 'cos there's no way you'd be able to tell from this post... XD
