I support abortion 100% When I was 17, I had an abortion. It was the best decision I could have made. (I am already adopted & know the foster care/adoption system---so I wouldn't trust any fetus of mine to that Russian Roulette road. Abortion was best). I had two sons later, starting at age 29-30. My Black American Mum raised us that we shouldn't have a baby before the age of 25. Now looking back, I totally understand why she always preached that. Women need to take time to become fully adult women...they need to travel, experience the world and get to know themselves. They need to create the financial stability necessary to feed, house & protect a child. Many girls in the black community (most in fact) are not well raised, are not loved and are not given many options on being themselves or valuing "womanhood." The Black community absolutely hates Black girls--they are the "scapegoats" of the black social hierarchy. are not taught to think very highly of themselves, in fact most Black girls are called Hood Rats in Black American culture. Therefore, they seek love & acceptance from the 1 thing that doesn't judge---a baby. Good luck to those girls who ruin their lives before they've ever began. If men could get pregnant....abortion would be FREE....no questions asked. Women are the owners of their bodies....if they want to abort, then that decision is solely theirs. It only cost $400 for an abortion. But it costs Tax-Payers $400,000 to finance a child's life from birth to age 18 under various welfare pay outs. Abortion is a NECESSARY legal option and women must fight to protect this right.

Okay...I finished "The Sexy Part of the Bible" yesterday...but I needed a moment before I could comment about it. The main character in this book, Eternity, literally haunted me! I dreamed about her story and I'm not kidding. The author went "H.A.M." on this book and I've never read anything quite like it. There are phrases and ideas from the book that keep replaying over and over in my mind. For example "all black people hate each other"..."we who go with the landscape"..."without our real mother we cannot be born"..."too black to represent Africa"...and "Africa has been cloned"...are just a few. At the end of the day, I loved this book. I would recommend it if you want a great read with an interesting story line and realistic insight into things that we don't talk about on a day to day basis, like how we view ourselves and how we really feel about each other. (When I saw "we," I mean those of us that are of African descent...you know black folk all around the world.) What you may find, through Eternity's eyes, is a brutal type of honesty that will probably make you cry and will probably hurt your feelings, but in the end, you'll find yourself glad that she said it all and held no punches. Check out the synopsis & go from there. If you read it, or if you have already read it, I'd love to hear what you thought of it. I think I might be in need of a discussion, or a drink, or therapy. Amazing job Kola Boof! My vote: 5 stars out of 5
