Discussing abortion as if itās the right of a mother is the wrong conversation. Iād like to tell you a story about how I became āpro lifeā
If youāre not an active pro abortionist & are passively pro choice, hopefully, this post is for you.
Growing up I was passively pro choice. I knew it was never going to be for me, but I believed the hype that it doesnāt affect me, so itās not my fight.
My mind was drastically changed in 2020. I married my lovely wife Ashley in 2019. We decided to have our first child together right away. It took a couple months but eventually we got it right. At the beginning of the āpandemicā we were delighted to find out my wife was carrying our daughter, Rylianne.
7 months in, my wife wasnāt feeling good. She felt pain all around her body when she was moving around. She was struggling to use the restroom & she rapidly gained a bunch of weight.
She drove herself to the hospital & I met her there. They quickly brought her in, checked her blood pressure 250/150. Thatās⦠really high. The nurse pulled out the Ultra sound gear, and put it to her belly.
Silenceā¦..is all we heard. For minutes that felt like an eternity, she searched for the heartbeat of our daughter to no avail. Iāll never forget the look Ash gave me. It was a hopeless plea, as if I could reassure her⦠tell her everything will be ok, that our daughter is fine.
We sat there, holding hands, coming to grips with the fact that we had lost our daughter. There was nothing I could do to help.
Turns out Ash developed HELLP syndrome, the advanced stage of pre eclampsia. Days later after the Drās stabilized Ash, she gave birth to our stillborn daughter.
We held her, told her we loved her, and that weāll see her in the next life. The wound in my heart created that day may never heal. To this day it still hurts, but I have learned to deal with the pain.
My point in telling you this is that I know my daughter was alive. She kicked, she listened, and for the short time she was here on this earth, she felt the love and warmth from my wife while residing in her womb.
I can now, never deny the humanity of those residing in the womb. The zinc spark at fertilization, is the first sign of life we can detect. I believe thatās when we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights that we, as a good and moral people, should absolutely recognize. Theyāre humans, and we should treat them as such, because not all of us can make it long enough to withstand the world outside the womb.
Since the 1960ās when abortions have become legal, over 3,000 babies are terminated daily. A genocide that we canāt see, that we canāt hear because the crying souls of the babies have no ability to speak for themselves. Somebody should. We should.
For a happy ending to this dreadful story, my wife and I were able to try again. We were blessed to be granted the ability & opportunity to have another child, & I thank God everyday for that.
Raylan was born in 2022. Ash once again developed HELLP syndrome but this time, we caught it. Raylan was born a bit early but at 5lbs 5oz & healthy, we couldnāt be happier.
The only way to change this debate about pro choice or pro life, is to recognize when human rights begin, and it begins at fertilization. Thatās when we should recognize the right to life we all enjoy today. Thatās the only way to save 3,000 American lives that get aborted daily.
God Bless You All & God Bless America

"Meat just sits in your gut and rots for days."
Astonishing. The most absorbable food on the planet, broken down and mopped up in the small intestine with barely a crumb left to reach the colon, and somehow it's the one you've cast as the rotting villain.
Fermentation, the thing your beloved fibre does in the large intestine, is rotting. That's the literal definition of it. Bacteria decomposing undigested plant matter and pumping out gas as the reward. The bloating and the wind you've been blaming on the ribeye is the salad breaking down precisely as advertised.
Meat is the ultimate low-residue food. It doesn't stick around to rot because there's next to nothing left of it by the time it reaches the part where rotting happens.
The only thing putrefying down there is the side salad you ordered to feel virtuous.
From my husband:
"I learned some stuff about this sort of compound joinery.
This joint is called Osaka Jo Otemon Bashira Tsugite. Itās a lengthening joint, unlike any scarf joint youāll ever see in any structure.
Despite its short length, it is incredibly resistant to shearing, twisting, and compression stresses.
Thereās all sorts of history on this type of joint on the internet. The most interesting part is that some folks decided they needed to x ray it to figure out how it was assembled. Pretty wild stuff.
Also, this joint is only possible because of centerlinesā¦sorry square rule bubbas š
This first attempt wasn't perfect, but I figured out what went wrong. Stay tuned for try two."
āWhy do you support the colonizers native??!ā
Because half my family is white
My kids are white, my wife is white
And you dumb asses want me to be loyal to a melanin count, rather than the ideals of the Christian men that built this Country
To be honest, I donāt care about your skin color but the demonization of whites has gone way too far.
You need to be teaching your children to be proud to be American
You must never allow anyone to tell them they should apologize for being American
From Christopher Columbus to Neil Armstrong and beyond
America is the land of adventurers, explorers, and heroes
"Carnivore is just a fad diet to lose weight."
Actually, there are many people who don't need to lose weight but have other health issues that carnivore has resolved.
Weight loss is just an added bonus for people who are also overweight.
