Text of the page (random words):
to help donate time or money to organizations that assist low income women financial instability is a top reason for both abortion and placing a child for adoption or you could look into adopting fostering or mentoring one of the 415 000 foster children currently awaiting placement in the united states one last word for anyone reading this who considers him or herself to be religious and has seen posts about how all of trump s horrible completely un christian behavior should be overlooked because the supreme court is at stake and there s a chance to overturn roe vs wade as i mentioned waaaay back near the beginning of this post you do know that the supreme court justices that decided roe vs wade in the first place were conservative right this christian journalist recaps it for us p s i can t believe it is 2016 and this is still a major campaign issue smaller government could start with getting out of people s bedrooms and doctor s offices guns i have a bad habit of reading over people s shoulders when i m taking public transportation one time i did this and caught snippets of some really graphic medical procedure description a doctor was reading and i started feeling woozy had to run off of the boston t and then promptly passed out on the disgusting ground of the station platform a woman and her young son heading to school stayed with me until i came to and then gave me his juice box a similar scenario came close to unfolding another time i was on the bus in chicago and was reading a magazine article over someone s shoulder it was about how parents of shooting victims had to identify their kids remains by dental records i ran off the bus and put my head between my knees and felt sick the rest of the night the image that was conjured up in my head by that article still haunts me that happened in 1999 it was a cover story about the columbine shooting right after that tragedy i took my work trip to 10 countries around the world for the consulting project that i mentioned earlier i was asked the exact same question by clients at every stop why do americans love guns so much it is 16 5 years later and i still don t know the answer and things have of course only gotten far worse in 1996 16 children were killed by a gunman in scotland the very next year the uk enacted drastically tougher gun laws a few weeks after the scotland massacre a gunman killed 35 people and wounded 24 in australia twelve days later the australian government passed the national firearms agreement to tighten gun laws twelve days let that sink in as a nation who claims to care about its children and family values and all of that we are totally pathetic on the gun violence front i was terrified of gun violence before i had kids i became nearly paralyzed by fear after sandy hook which happened when my son was 11 months old one week when he was 3 his pre k teacher sent her usual e newsletter and i nearly vomited after reading that the kiddies did a great job crawling on their bellies during a lockdown drill what at work my husband was trained on what to do during an active shooter situation did your school prepare you for active gunmen scenarios when you were growing up did any of your employers offer training like this more than say ten years ago we as a country have totally failed when it comes to gun safety and gun violence it is a disgrace and let me be clear i am from a state where hunting is a big thing many of my relatives hunt and have guns and some of the country s biggest employers in my home state gave people the first day of hunting season off work as a holiday this is true i m not against guns but i am certainly not for keeping the status quo neither was trump at one point in his 2000 book the america we deserve the one in the poster i was bowing to he criticizes republicans who walk the nra line and are against even limited restrictions he wants to ban assault weapons and increase gun purchase waiting times you can read it yourself here but then despite all of his big talk about being an outsider who can shake things up and someone who s just going to do what he wants and not be beholden to anyone or any organization trump joins forces with the nra one of the biggest and most powerful lobbying groups in the country which has since endorsed him given his campaign millions of dollars and is running ridiculous and again totally untruthful ads on his behalf across the nation talking about hillary wanting to take everyone s guns away and leave people defenseless that is the textbook definition of a flip flopper a hypocrite and a sell out and let s remember that the exact same claims were made about obama taking guns away yet here we are eight years later with even more guns floating around a quarter of a million more people dead and hundreds of thousands more injured and not bit of national progress on gun safety shortly after sandy hook i went to my first meeting with a local chapter of the brady campaign to prevent gun violence founded by president reagan s white house press secretary and assistant to the president jim brady and his wife sarah now both deceased i was shocked to find that several people there were gun owners but they were there for the same reasons i was they were sick of nothing being done they were not threatened by the group s efforts to expand background checks or close gun show loopholes or target the small number of gun dealers who supply the majority of guns used in crimes they were like yeah duh they were looking for advice on how to talk to fellow gun owners and separate fact from all of the rumors out there about politicians wanting to take away their guns which no one has actually ever said ever they were not fans of the nra but incredibly the nra was not even brought up by anyone at brady that s not their focus i won t go on and on about this organization because you can read more about it yourself here what i will say is that i have met and talked with all of its leadership team and have been thoroughly impressed they have very clear realistic goals and are succeeding in making positive changes even if you don t hear about their efforts on the news so after all of these horrible mass shootings that have taken place in just about every public place you can imagine malls schools churches movie theaters after personally meeting the wife and sister of a policeman shot and killed in the line of duty after learning about a friend s ex co worker who was shot and killed by a stalker after knowing those who ve lost siblings and children to gun suicides and after consoling a close friend over the loss of her former co worker and friend a beautiful woman who along with her two year old son and six year old daughter was shot and killed earlier this year by her husband after he went on pro gun anti obama anti planned parenthood anti isis and anti immigration rants online i have had enough if trump actually did what he said republicans should do in his 2000 book and stood up to the nra i might ve had a little bit of respect for him but once again he s just all talk beware your sources or that time i sent poop in the mail admit it you didn t read any of my heartfelt missive above and skipped straight here to the poop section didn t you that s fine i get it i won t disappoint i am sharing this story with you to prove how easy it is for well meaning and intelligent people to fall down the rabbit hole that is information on the internet several years back i had a health scare i looked up information about it on the internet i found tons of articles about a screening procedure that would predict if you were going to get this possibly deadly diagnosis that i was convinced i had i found even more articles about changes you could make to your diet and supplements you could take that would help you reverse what was happening in your body to cause this condition and so i spent over 600 on that screening test and probably 1000 more on getting my entire dna report downloaded and meeting with a dietician who helped me interpret it and suggested a phased plan of how i should change my eating habits and what vitamins i should be taking i did all of it i completely changed my diet and was miserable i peed on a stick multiple times per day to check certain levels in my urine i bought hundreds of dollars in supplements i paid for a critical 400 test she recommended that would analyze my bowel movements and tell me what else might be wrong with me and what i could do about it so yes yes i pooped into what looked like a french fry container sealed it up as instructed and sent it off to a lab across the country the next day the results came in from my other screening test and they were bad i was developing the condition but it probably wouldn t show up on any western medicine tests or scans for decades i freaked out i called my doctor within minutes of opening the test results i got in to see her right away she had never heard of what i was talking about but her good friend from med school was a specialist in my area of concern she got me an appointment with her a few days later then i saw the specialist she tried to explain why the screening test i did was not something she could consider valid or even worth looking at how no clinical trials had been done on it it wasn t proven she tried to console me by telling me her own story of listening to an informercial on a rare condition while driving to work and then becoming convinced she had it i pleaded with her that i was an educated person and had done my research i dissolved into a sobbing mess they had a counselor come take me to another room and try to talk me down i was ashamed i was in a place where people were getting really really bad news and here i was taking up this counselor s time about something a leading specialist wouldn t even acknowledge but i didn t feel any better the turning point came after i had driven myself and my husband crazy after another week or so of digging around on the internet i still hadn t heard from the place i sent the poo into i dug out my copy of the shipping label and typed the name of the lab into google the lab had recently been raided by the dea for growing pot i showed the article to my husband he said i can just imagine a bunch of stoners sitting around when your sample came in and saying duuuudddeeeee yesssss we got some more poop it was the first time i d cracked a smile in a month he was right they probably used my sample as fertilizer for their weed then i found message boards with people complaining about the lab and how they d been scammed into the tests and the supplements and the procedures there were some heartbreaking stories on there from parents who had bought into it because their kids were sick they d gone bankrupt thinking that these specialists and labs and supplements would give them the hope that legitimate trained actual real doctors couldn t and then i came across dr jen gunter s blog i mentioned gunter in the babies section because of her articles attempting to dispel inaccuracies about late term abortions she s an ob in canada writes about a whole host of women s health issues and is very active on twitter she had a post from years ago about the very screening procedure i d done and she explained why it was bogus oh and the place i had the screening procedure done closed up shop two months later i was equal parts enraged at myself ashamed and relieved i was always the first person to tell people not to put any faith in forwarded emails remember when that was a thing and not to believe what they read online i did not take my own advice and i learned an embarrassing lesson and that s why i m especially horrified by how many u s citizens seem to be both seeking out and basing their votes on completely made up information they find online or the opinions of political pundits and others that have a clear agenda i know what it feels like to believe what you are reading is factual especially when it s something you already think is true how can you know what s real if you see it going around on facebook twitter or another social media platform it s probably fake i almost included a trump quote in this post that s been circulating heavily until i checked snopes com and found it wasn t something he ever said snopes and politifact are my go to sites when it comes to separating fact rumor and fiction if you re primarily getting your information from cable news you might want to take a breather stations like fox news msnbc and cnn have notorious and obvious biases and it s easy to confuse pundits and talking heads with actual news anchors opinions are not facts if a site you re reading has charged political words or terms in its url that should be a clue if an article you re reading has no author has information that you haven t heard anywhere else and is littered with ads it s almost definitely not a trustworthy source my firstborn s middle name is in honor of a fictional conspiracy theorist so i understand the allure of rumors and speculation and going against the mainstream if you just want to validate things you already think well i guess no one can stop you but if you actually want to make informed decisions and not come off like a loon take special care with what you believe and what you post or pass on to others and whatever you do never send your own poop through the mail after tuesday half of the country is going to be disappointed after this election i hope people are respectful to each other i personally plan to take a break from social media what i ll be doing instead is performing random acts of kindness all day tuesday and wednesday yes it s cheesy but who cares it ll be needed happy voting e i welcome polite and respectful comments but i will be reviewing all of them first i am going to be slammed with work all week so if i do not publish your comment or respond to it rest assured that i m not ignoring it please be patient posted by erika aka e at 3 31 pm 8 comment s from my peeps tags confessions e s life politics friday july 22 2016 equals i saw equals shortly after my best friend s family and by extension my family had suffered a horrible loss so i think i was more affected by its message than i would ve been otherwise director drake doremus like crazy retreads very very familiar territory think the giver mixed with romeo juliet and doesn t have anything new to add to the conversation and on top of that the film s cop out ending made me groan but since equals story centers around the question of whether it s better to experience the highs and lows but especially the lows that come with being human versus feeling nothing at all and since i would ve done anything to stop my friend from feeling the pain she was going through at that time i was captivated for 101 minutes if nothing else silas
