"Before that strip turned blue, I was a woman. I was your woman. I was a killer who killed for you. Before that strip turned blue, I would have jumped a motorcycle onto a speeding train... for you. But once that strip turned blue, I could no longer do any of those things. Not anymore. Because I was going to be a mother. Can you understand that?" - Kill Bill Vol. II (2004)

So I basically did all those exams horribly. I don't know what is going to be of me. Maybe, just maybe, remotely maybe, I'll get the necessary grade. I started studying very late at night, decided to stop for a quick nap, and it lasted until morning. I have two more tests tomorrow. I'll probably fail them also. I haven't studied.

And now, sitting here, talking on MSN, a friend of mine, who isn't VERY close to me, but is a friend anyway, just told me she was pregnant...

Wow. That totally shocked me.

I love children. They make me happy by simply smiling. I have two younger siblings and even though they annoy me all the fuckin time, I love them to death. Their sweet kisses, their sweet, curious eyes, watching every thing I do because it's new to them.

And my friend wants to make an abortion.
Abortion.

I am very left-liberal, however, when it comes to taking away the life of a child in development, I get all religious and shit. And I don't even have a religion. Only beliefs. I get very sentimental when I hear about this cruel act. Especially someone relatively close to me. I mean, it's ok if you decide to abort when you are raped and stuff, but not when you are a spoiled wealthy seventeen years old girl who has information about the real world and social conditions to avoid that case.

I am really sorry to mention the following person here, I am totally anti-Bush, but there was one thing he once said that I completely agree: "Through sonograms and other technology, we can clearly see that unborn children are members of the human family as well. They reflect our image, and they are created in God's own image".

I clearly understand that it must be really hard for a 17'er to have a baby, especially in my country. But these problems aren't impossible to break through, and the bond that ties the mother-child relationship is unbreakable.

It makes me sad to know this girl is going to try all means to abort. It makes me even more sad to know that I will never get to know my friend's son or daughter, and that her little baby will probably have his little body rolled in a plastic bag and thrown away in the back of an alley.
