I never understood what right & left wing means.

Honestly I have NO issues with a Man as Minister Responsible for the Status of Women, becasue he might have been the best choice out of all the people for the job. I'm also pro life (unless raped, or the mother is in lifes harm & has no other option but to abort), I strongly believe that if you fool around & get pregnat, tough titties. All the mother has to do is carry it to term & then put it out for adoption. There are SOOO many Canadians who cannot have children of their own (I might be one of them, stupid genes) & it pains me to watch people toss their babies in the trash when there are loving adults out there not able to have & want.

2 of my good childhood friends had a baby together. They didn't want it, so she gave birth & adopted it out. The adoptive parents are great! They love their new daughtor & are taking good care of her (my 2 friends are allowed to see her every now & then, so they can keep an eye on her & they have a school fund set up for her)...

I haven't been able to keep up with the news for quite a few months, so if theres other stuff you think is bad, do share (I'm trying to get updated, but its not easy), stupid move.


Edit: I'm against Feminests, as they try to make women better then men & not equals. NOT all women can be firefighters or police officers, I think if a woman can pass the same tests as a man then she is Equal! In Police Foundations the women have an easier test!!!!!! How is that equal? (made me quite mad)
