“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.”
Yeah if that kid was black he would be called a thug this is nothing against the kid , I mean knowing how to use a gun is not a bad thing but for him at that age it’s a lil too early for that
“I am not going to talk about reproductive rights now; I want to talk about abortion, only abortion. Killing is central to it: the killing that takes place in forced sex. The killing is in sex that is forced, and every single synonym for sex in this society says so. All the words. Killing me softly; violation: all the words that have to do with sex are hostile words, dangerous words, so-called dirty words. the word vagina means sheath. All the pornographic imagery has to do with hostility: and these are weapons, knives,the use of the penis as a weapon. We didn’t do this; feminists didn’t do this. We are not responsible for creating it, but we are making people face it. So the practical reality is that as long as sex is forced on women, women must have the right to abortion, absolutely, no matter what it means, no matter what you think it means.Abortion is also ideologically central to understanding women’s condition. What abortion means to women is the absolute right to control the reproductive functions of our own bodies. There are other reproductive rights we need: not to be sterilised against our will as is happening systematically in some populations because of race and class (sex being the precondition). But abortion is the symbol of a woman’s life: and that is because when abortion was criminal in this country, women died in huge numbers, and women died horrible, horrible deaths. Death by criminal abortion was death by torture. Death by putrefaction. Gangrenous death. Drawn-out-bleeding-to-death. That is what it was like and that is why the women that lived through it will never give up on the struggle or the total decriminalization of abortion, free funding, the absolute availability of safe abortion for all women.”
