Mike Pence: “Allowing Rape Victims To Have Abortions Will Lead To Women Trying To Get Raped”

The Republican war on women continues unabated. The same week that conservatives argued in the Supreme Court that employers should be able to stop their employees from getting contraception outside of the company health plan, Indiana joined the ranks of...

Donald Trump’s new running mate also said,

  “Basically, if I’d have said no on the bill, that would be just like giving out get-pregnant-without-fear cards,because at the end of the day, women could have unprotected sex without worrying about what they’d do in the event of pregnancy. 

And you know, it’s not supposed to be like that. That would be equal to me picking up a butcher’s knife and slicing people open in the middle of the street. That would be murder. And I’m not a murderer.”

“And it gets worse – when you get an abortion, you get several days off of work and whatnot to recover. And there are a lot of crazy people out there. 

What if women would go out and get raped on purpose just so they could get off work? I mean, Indiana’s economy is struggling as it is, and having thousands of women absent from their jobs would be horrific for the state, I’m telling you.

 I made the right call and that will be confirmed in the long run,” Pence concluded.

Keep Students Organized

Imagine a child’s backpack, fresh from school.

If you’re like me, you just saw a collection of papers, wrinkled beyond reason; folders tattered and destroyed from the weight of old assignments, either already graded or never turned in. Broken colored pencils, marker tops, and some indescribable gritty substance made their way to the bottom of the backpack, where that letter a parent was supposed…

Create an Action Plan, not a Goal

Create an Action Plan, not a Goal

Happy Monday! Last Monday, I talked about how I plan to RESOLVE my goals from last year. Today, I want to share that plan with you!

Now a lot of us are ‘goal setters’, me included. We have something we want to do, we set the goal, then we forget about it until something reminds us that we’re still in the same place. For years in college, I wanted to lose weight. I talked about what I was going to…
