People vs Animals: Where is the love?

By @ButterfliesBlue

One of the things that does not makes sense are society's priorities. As we can see above, people campaign for animal rights, but wouldn't give an unborn child a chance at life. I do not condone animal cruelty, but a human's life does not get any respect. In some cases a person can get more time for harming an animal then for killing a person whether born or unborn. Let's compare and contrast some facts.
  1. Spaying and neutering pets can help keep the animal population down, but abortion can be harmful for women.

  2. A fertilized egg starts to multiply it's cells within seconds after conception. Organisms are the only things that can have cell replication. 
  3. According to Genesis 1:28, humans have rights to use the earth as needed, and are also commanded to be fruitful and multiply.

I am in no way for animal cruelty because certain actions are just unnecessary. I'm just saying that you should not feel bad for wanting that leather purse, fur coat, or steak cooked well done. One of the plagues of Egypt in Exodus 11 instructed the Jews to kill a lamb. In the New Testament, fish were mentioned to be eaten many times. We should not deprive ourselves of what nature has to offer.

People say that life doesn't begin until birth. If this were truth, then why would prenatal care be important? If you do not want to have kids, but think that you may be pregnant then consider the alternatives. Many people that can not have kids naturally would love to have a child of their own. You never know what good they may bring to the world. It's a sad day when animals get better treatment than humans. Finally, no, abortion is NOT a woman's right to choose because that is not your life that you are ending. You lived yours. Give someone else a chance.

Light Drinking During Pregnancy Proven Okay

By: Alise (@Dreamaboutalise)

According to new research, studies have shown that one or two drinks during nine months of child bearing does not cause any risk to the baby.

Data was used from 11,513 children who were part of the U.K. Millennium Cohort Study. Mothers were surveyed on the amounts of alcohol they had during pregnancy and followed up with the children at ages 9 months, 3, and 5 years. During home visits, behavior assessments were done with the parents and cognitive tests were done on the children.

British scientists are saying children born to light drinkers are actually found to perform better on cognitive tests than from mothers who abstained entirely, but those differences were erased when socioeconomic status was taken into account.

The study results were published today (Oct. 5) in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, from the British Medical Journal.
