uni
You are Form 3, Unicorn: The Innocent. "And The Unicorn knew she wasn't meant to
go into the Dark Wood. Disregarding the advice
given to her by the spirits, Unicorn went
inside and bled silver blood.. For her
misdeed, the world knew evil." Some examples of the Unicorn Form are Eve
(Christian) and Pandora (Greek). The Unicorn is associated with the concept of
innocence, the number 3, and the element of
water. Her sign is the twilight sun. As a member of Form 3, you are a curious
individual. You are drawn to new things and
become fascinated with ideas you've never come
in contact with before. Some people may say
you are too nosey, but it's only because you
like getting to the bottom of things and
solving them. Unicorns are the best friends to
have because they are inquisitive.

Abortion is controversial

I wrote some notes on a passage from bell hooks's "Feminism is for Everybody," and thought I'd share the portion I wrote on Abortion. I figured my blog wasn't controversial enough, you know? Anyway:

I found her views on abortion slightly problematic. Personally, I believe abortion is morally wrong after the fetus has reached personhood. I don抰 know when that happens, so I err on the side of caution and call it implantation. That said, because I know the state of birth control and education, I think abortion has to remain legal at least through the first trimester, and at least until sex education is mandated (if they can mandate gym, they can mandate sex-ed) and birth control is more readily available and destigmatized. I respect women who think criminalizing abortion is oppression; I respect women who think legalizing it is murder. I respect men who have informed opinions and get mad when they抮e told they抮e not allowed to have an opinion at all. I personally think the reality is somewhere in between, and it would be nice if God would point Her Almighty finger down and say something like 揑 put the soul into the baby on day 65, so please behave accordingly, and by the way condoms are a good thing.� I feel a lot of compassion both for the thousands of women who抳e had to make that choice, and for the thousands of people who were never born. I don抰 think I could get an abortion unless my life was in danger; I don抰 think I would use the morning-after pill unless I had been raped. I抦 not everyone, and I抦 in a situation where if I were to get pregnant, my partner and would shuffle our plans, pool our resources, and do not as well as my parents, but better than most of my cousins.

I would be happy if third-trimester abortion was made illegal, because if the baby can survive, then why not just induce early and put the child up for adoption? (I also think more white families should be open to adopting children of color rather than holding out for blonde children). I抦 idealistic, though not as much as some � I don抰 know how many times I抳e simultaneously agreed with my boyfriend and insisted 揑t抯 not that simple!"

I consider myself a feminist, and I don抰 like to be told that I can抰 be anti-abortion (which, to an extent, I am) and an advocate of feminism (which I also am).

To be fair, I don抰 call myself pro-life. I think abortion should be limited (along with the education and birth-control caveats I mentioned), I have mixed feelings on the death penalty, I抦 not a fan of euthanasia but I can see the sense of assisted suicide or euthanasia as requested in a living will, and while I think most wars are appalling, there are times when something must be done, and a difficult decision must be made � how does one choose between going to war and allowing genocide? And whose business is it to make that choice?

(When all is said and done, I suppose it抯 good that I抦 not Catholic)
