• 16 weeks and politically pregnant

     Today we headed down to our  local RNC office and picked up some McCain goodies. (I’d like to extend a bi-partisan tidbit: Regardless of what candidate you support,  I encourage you to wear shirts, buttons or bumper stickers. Getting politically active is important and encourages others to see how much a Republican/democratic candidate is supported. Be prepared with the reasons *WHY* you support this person because people will  occasionally ask you about it.)
   We got bumper stickers, buttons and a fancy dancy new shirt:
  

  In a speech Obama gave last week, he encouraged his supporters to “Get up in the faces” of those who did not support him.
  “I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your
  neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or
  whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in
  their face,” he said.
   Anyone who wants to discuss politics with me should know by now, that I’m all for it. I love intellectual  conversations. However, if someone was yelling and arguing in your face aboout *any* subject matter, how will you respond? It seems to me that Obama is becoming more and more desperate for the White House. I say the word desperate, and that’s my intentional choice of words. There’s a difference between passion and desperation and I see this as falling into the latter category.
  Perhaps that’s why Obama’s been downright insulting to his opposition? Even his running mate is ashamed of the ads and comments that have been made:
  
  The meanest comment  I’ve heard about McCain was when they bashed his inability to sit and use a computer for prolonged periods of time due to injuries he’d sustained from his time as a POW. That’s just sick, Mr. B. Hussein Obama. Oh… wait, did I sink too low by using your middle name? My bad. Next time, I’ll make fun of any injuries you’ve sustained for the freedom of our country… oh.. wait…  none of those? Just a little hurt pride? Okay. Poor guy, you’ve had a tough campaign with all these big bad Republicans picking on you. Poor baby.

  What really irritated me was when Giana Jessen aired an ad against Obama and his vote against the BAIPA bill. (Born Alive Infant Protection Act: Infants who survived an attempted abortion and came out alive  and breathing should be offered medical treatment and offered for adoption)
  
   Well, instead of getting mad at Jessen, Obama’s put out another attack ad on McCain (who did NOT pay for the ad, nor did he put his seal of any approval on it). He blatantly called McCain a liar and told  the public that McCain’s running a dirty ad campaign. (But lipstick on a pig is acceptable.)

  To you Obama supporters out there: Tell me.. please… Tell me why? I mean, is it simply because of his skin color? (that’s the only answer I’ve heard so far.) I’m sincerely and honestly interested. Why do you support this man, and please, give facts or website reference to any laws,  or actions he’s put forward that impress you enough to vote for him. I’m not asking this in sarcasm, I just honestly do NOT understand the thought process.

  By the way, here’s the latest pro-life pic. We’re 16 weeks along as of today. There’s a baby in my womb and although you may or may not agree that it has a soul, it’s human genetic material that is growing and thriving. It is capable of reproduction of cells and is now pumping it’s own blood. You can try and deny that it has a soul if you’d like to claim abortion’s not murder. But you can’t deny that scientifically, it’s a human life. I’ve been feeling about 1 or 2 kicks on average a day for about a week now. How is that not a baby?

  

  Get
  ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double her weight and add inches to her length . Right now, she’s about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. Her legs are much more developed, her than it has been, and her eyes have moved closer to the front of her head. Her ears are close to their final position, too. Currently, she’s busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory
  tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to
  develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can
  move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut,
  she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for
  instance, she’s likely to move away from the beam. There’s not much for
  your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds.
