Felt shitty most of yesterday, but woke up with decent energy today. The question is how long it will last. In a matter of hours or even minutes, I may feel like I’m dragging.

I learned something new that I was surprised to learn. I thought that if you had Hashimoto’s, you still had symptoms even with a thyroidectomy, but apparently that’s not so. With the hypo symptoms I have, I would love to get the gland removed, but then that means taking more medication that I can’t tolerate. So I really feel hopeless as far as that goes.

Don’t know why, but for the last several days there haven’t been any commercial planes. Just a few small planes and helicopters. It’s great, but that’s another thing I don’t know how long will last.

The scientific community is claiming that fetuses can feel pain closer to 15 weeks instead of 24. I’m still on the side of the pro-choicers. Most abortions are done before then, and even if the baby can feel pain, better for it to suffer for a few minutes than for the woman to suffer even more pain and years of emotional and financial strain. Especially if it’s a rape baby. Studies have shown that violent behavior is not just caused by the environment but also by genetics. Boys of rape will usually grow up to carry on the rapes and girls of rape tend to be violent towards future boyfriends/spouses/kids.

I always try to look at both sides in situations. Always. However, no matter how much I try to place myself in the shoes and minds of the pro-lifers, I just can’t see their logic. Furthermore, I don’t understand why everything has to be so black and white. Why must things be one way or the other? Why does everybody assume there’s only one correct way? Instead, why can’t people just do what they feel best for themselves and leave everybody else alone?
