Women's rights and my opinions

I always thought that I understood women's rights and I thought I was a femist, somewhat. However yesterday it was drawn to my attention taht I don not know what feminism is and from what I understand about it now, I do not want to be that. A girl came and spoke to our chapel yesterday, and what she said will forever change my life. She told me something I have known, but never truly believed. Her name is Gianna and she is 27 with Cerebral Palsy. but donm't have pity on her, she can walk and talk and sing just beautifully. She is a miracle child. Her mother believed that it was her "right" to have an abortion. The doctors injected an acid into Gianna that was suppose to burn her inside and out and her mother would have a still birth within 24 hrs. Well God was with Gianna for 18 hrs as she suffered, and don't tell me that she didn't suffer...it was acid! after 18 hrs she was born, and alive! The doctors weren't there so they couldn't strangle her or harm he any further. A nurse called the ER and had her transported there. The doctors said she would never survive. After a couple of months, the doctors decided that Gianna had a will to live and that God wasn't giving up on her. She was put in foster care, but they didn't care for her. She then went to her foster mother penny who worked with her everyday despite what the doctors told her, so that Gianna woyuld walk. She lived a hard life, but well worth it. You ask what so life changing? well Lady's and Gentleman... Women's Rights would have killed me! My mother planned on aborting me, but my father was NOT willing to pay the $600 for that! My father stepped up and took control, as a man should. He is my hero, my knight and shining armor, and I Love Him so much for that! I am a woman and I ask you, where were MY rights while I was ALIVE in my mother's womb??? And another thing! Women calling and chasing after men. NO MAN WANTS TO BE CHASED AFTER!!!! They are men, they like a challenge, so lady's give them their challenge don't settle for some dead beat that you had to ask out! I use to quetion my mom about why she would no t allow my sister and I to call guys, even if they were just our friends. Now I understand. Girls, Ladies you are worth the wait! Don't give out your heart to the first guy you meet. Make him prove his love for you, make sure he treats you right! I'm sick of women crawling back to abusive husbands!!! YOU ARE WORTH IT!! It took a 27 year old with cerebral palsy and then a nudge from Shannon at church last night to make me realize it! I believe that God put Gianna at my school yesterday and then put me at church last night so I could her this from 2 incredible women taht I adore! God wants me to know that I am Loved and taht I am worth it!

Being a feminist does NOT mean you are pro-abortion. And it doesn't mean you hate men. You say you don't want people stereotyping you, so don't stereotype others. We are one in Christ, so I really think it's time for us to stop the name-calling.

I understand what a femenist is, and I know what women's rights activist are, and I disagree with wr activist more than anything because they don't make sense! but trufully I do understand things and I was somewhat upset about things plus being streesed out beyond reason...i guess i just starte4ed pointing fingers and I sorry for anyone that I hurt. but I have my opinions and sometimes I express them to hastely. I Love you all! And sorry for those who are offended, but I do believe what I beleive and sometimes I get too into it.
