		<description>I just got home from an amazing run in the gorgeouvs sunshine outside on a chillaxious Friday and I was once again reminded of how beautiful and easy our lives are.

We spend so much time complaining and bickering about basically non-existent problems and sometimes we forget how awesome it is to be here. Sure, tragedies do exist (check out the drunk driving thread for some sad examples), but generally life is easy. If those young adults who were killed by drunk drivers were able to speak from the grave, the first thing they&#039;d say is that life is short, so enjoy it. They really are proof of how short it can be.

Some personal examples of my life being beautifucl:

-Just spend a week in Canmore helping paint my friend&#039;s million dollar home, while mountain biking, drinking, and getting free room and board. And I even got paid for it!

-Lost my wallet three times so far. Everytime it has been returned. One time I lost it in Edmonton with $70 cash inside, and when it was returned the cash was still in it! (minor miracle, especially in Edmonton!)

-Lost my passport in NZ while on a crazy adventurhe. Got my new passport in the mail the day before my flight back to Canada!

-The economy is finally starting to turn around. So far this week I&#039;ve saved about $200 in travel expenses thanks to the rising Canadian dollar!

-Going to Spain in September for $116 thanks to cmyden and his amazinhg travel deal!

-And we can all agree that the Flames getting Bouwmeester for nothing is something we as a group can celebrate! &lt;a href=&quot;http://sambjbny20.blogspot.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hrfbvi &lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Very well said!  I&#039;m currently pregnant and thought perhaps my view would change once I was going through this situation...  No, it has not.  No one has the right to tell a woman what is best for her and her health.</description>

		<description>Very well said and heart-wrenching to read.  Every woman in this country should be outraged by the agenda a McCain/Palin administration would surely seek to further if they are elected.</description>

		<description>My husband is a police officer and he has done guard duty at an abortion clinic that does late term abortions. Yes, some women come in because of medical reasons, but the majority of them come in because they had a fight with the father and have decided they no longer want a child. Some as late as 28 weeks, past the viability point, but still legal. You and other like you may not be like those people, but people do get late term abortions for selfish reasons. I do believe that there needs to be more regulation on abortions done after 12 weeks. I know of many responsible and loving families that are practically dying to have a baby, any baby. Be it black, white, hispanic, asian or mentally impaired. There would be a home for those aborted children who were perfectly healthy and no danger to their mothers, just to their mothers figures. (Another one my husband hears, &quot;I just can&#039;t take the weight I&#039;m putting on&quot;)</description>

		<description>This was such a wonderfully thought out and passionate post.  It goes so much deeper than the yes/no surface debate that most people would like to have.  I have always felt that people should have a right to choose what they do with their lives; therefore women should be able to choose on this issue.

I also loved how you point out that he would also not ensure that your child would have health insurance.  There are so many wonderful points in your post.  Thank you so much for writing it!</description>

		<description>I was referred here by a friend. 

Let me say first that I have the greatest sympathy for the losses of the children that have been sustained here. 

I have given birth to three children. I have had three abortions. I have miscarried once, at about ten weeks along. Seven in six years. 

I was on birth control every. single. time. I got pregnant. At the outset of every pregnancy I was miserable, because after the first one I knew what was coming. I knew I was going to be sick. I knew that my joints would give way and put me into a wheelchair, and I would lose thirty to forty pounds being nauseated. More than that, though, I was going to be insane. Not insane enough to be locked up, but insane enough to be dangerous to my marriage and to the child I already had and to myself.

I have never regretted any choice. I have regretted being in the position in which the choices are all bad. 

Some women who have second-trimester abortions are women who have had to travel a couple hundred miles and save up a thousand dollars on a minimum-wage salary to get to an abortion provider out of state, or across the state, thanks to the anti-abortion effort to make it very difficult for a clinic to practice, or have outlawed it in their city or state. I live in a state that has outlawed second-trimester abortions. I have had women come to me and ask me what herbs they can take, not caring that the herbal remedies can poison and kill you in the process. Women die because they can&#039;t access care. 

I don&#039;t want any woman to die because she can&#039;t afford to have a safe abortion. I don&#039;t want any woman to die because she can&#039;t get the medical assistance to keep her alive and her fertility intact when a wanted pregnancy goes terribly wrong. I don&#039;t want any woman to die because her labor goes wrong. I don&#039;t want any child to come into this world unwanted and unloved. 

I hope someday we can manage to work, if not together, at least side by side, to make sure that all of us women are taken care of.</description>

		<description>But we can&#039;t outlaw abortions of &quot;convenience&quot; until we educate and equip the public on using birth control. 

Just had to comment on that last comment. 

Thank you for sharing this... it&#039;s incredible to read because I too was INFURIATED when McCain so flippantly spoke of the mother&#039;s heath during the debate.</description>
