Birth of Twins Highlights Evil of Abortion 

"Consider Maria Jones Elliot who, pregnant with twins in 2012, went into preterm labor and gave birth to her daughter, Amy, 23 weeks into pregnancy. Amy was a tiny 1 pound 3 ounces and was immediately whisked off to NICU in order to save her life. Unexpectedly, contractions stopped and Amy’s twin sister, Katie, decided she wasn’t ready to be born! While tiny Amy fought to survive, her twin sister was doing very well in Maria’s womb where she continued to mature and grow. Eighty-seven days later Katie was born with a clean bill of health! These beautiful twin sisters are recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as twins with the most days between births.

…While Amy was recognized as a human being whose life was protected and worth fighting for, in most states her twin sister would be considered a mere fetus with no rights—a potential victim of abortion.

Here we see plainly the ruthless arbitrariness of abortion: one twin could legally be killed but the other is protected by law. Is location so determinative? This common-sense example is indicative of how laws that leave any unborn child unprotected are discriminatory and assume a fanciful and contrived essential difference between living human beings.”

Project for my Social Psych class last semester. This poster series was created to 1) challenge these internalized stereotypes by bringing them to the viewer’s attention and 2) expand the range of role models by including a diverse group of women. Each poster follows the same basic pattern: a woman who has demonstrated her competency in a particular area refutes the stereotype that appears above her in the form of “Girls can’t …”. While the posters target girls ranging from children to young adults, I expect the message would also cause people outside that demographic to question their own beliefs about women and power.  I designed each aspect of the posters with several principles of social psychology in mind:

Oh well. I guess if something is going to happen we should just let it happen. In that case, let’s decriminalize rape. Forget the fact that it violates an innocent human’s body. It’s going to happen anyway, so we should just remove the consequences. Maybe that will make it safer for everyone involved.

(OBVIOUSLY I’m being sarcastic. Just because some people will always choose to break the law and harm others does not mean that there should be no laws in place to protect and extract justice for the innocent, agreed?)

Abortion takes the life of an innocent human. We cannot ignore this, nor cover it up with dehumanizing slurs. You were once a zygote, an embryo, a fetus, and throughout those stages of your life, you had the same right to not be killed as you do now. Why would you deny other humans the rights that you and every other pro-choice advocate have benefited from?

you think it should be illegal for women to have an abortion.

If you think it should be legal reblog here.

Powargrid is a fun turn based strategy game that focuses on power supply and disruption.  You build out from your power station, building a powergrid, then add attack towers to attack and destroy the enemies structures.

In all cases power is key, you need to protect your power stations, while trying to reach across the map and destroy the enemies.  As well as transporting energy, power lines come in handy for blocking build paths, while cannons and towers are great for attacking enemy structures.  It’s great fun to play and makes for some very strategic battles.

Powargrid also features a campaign mode with a nice sense of humour, online or hotseat multiplayer and skirmish battles against computer opponents.

If a grown adult were in a coma or asleep when someone killed them, they wouldn’t be ‘aware’ of what was happening. They wouldn’t say, “oh shit, please don’t kill me” either. Does that make what happened to them moral or acceptable?

A mosquito is not a human; its rights are not protected under the Constitution of the United States of America. If you want to try and give mosquitoes the same rights as humans, go ahead. Until then don’t compare the two - it’s incredibly ignorant.

If your mother were 14 when she had you, I would still fight with every fiber of my being to protect your right to live because her age does not compromise your human rights. I would also fight to make sure you had the best home possible - if not with her, then in the care of another family.

Hello Portal fandom!

You might have seen the Portal: Suvive! Live-Action Short that came out about 4 months ago. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it. IT IS GOOD. REALLY GOOD. Here’s the link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x2l0NgSvyM

Anyways, the same people are planning to make a web series called Portal: Secrets of Aperture. And if it is anywhere near as good as the short that they made, it will be REALLY good. The Kickstarter will begin on February 3rd, but please watch the short and the teaser above and most of all - SPREAD THE WORD. Do it for science! [you monster]
