I actually have people reading my blog (yay!) Thanks for the comments and taking a few minutes out of your daily schedule.

 

In other news……………….

This is going to be a short blog, but I just had to blog about this.  I have DVR (one of the best inventions on the planet next the the iPod and MacBook )  and I was watching an old Tyra Show from Thursday.  I didn’t know what the episode was about so when I turned it on, I expected it to be on women’s issues or some sort (gotta love Tyra…she boosts up my self esteem alot (: )

Well anyway, the segment was on a pregnant girl who works at the Bunny Ranch (aka, the legal brothel).  She’s says that she works there to support her baby, and that it’s her only option.

I’m not one to judge a person wholy just by their actions (yeah, I’ll comment about it or whatnot), but I just gotta say that something is not right if you feel prostitution is the only way to go to support a baby.  Millions of women (and teens) are faced with this decision everyday without family support and many don’t run to prositution as their sole source of income. Sadly, yes, many do resort to that lifestyle, but many do not.

I’m not trying to downgrade this girl (Alana Love is her name [kind of makes me wonder if this is her real name...it sounds kinda portstar/hooker-ish]), but sweetheart should have worked out some more options to support this baby on her own.

Its sad that women in our society turn to degrading their bodies just for monetary reasons.  I wish that we lived in a society that people wouldn’t consider this route an option.  But with the decline of the economy in recent months and people looking for work whereever they can…it’s sad to see the extremes that people are falling to.  People loosing their jobs, their homes (Oprah’s special on tent cities made me realize how badly people were loosing their homes and living litterally in tents outside), and even their dignity.

Even with the bad economy, don’t you think that a mother should resort to another option other than prosituting her body? I’m not judging her, nor chewing her out, as I feel deep sympathy for her. But the thing that I’m most worried about is that what happens when that child is born? Will Alana  be too deep into prositution to get out? And most imporatntly, how will that affect the baby’s peronal and mental developmental growth. Prosituting your body to strange men can endanger the baby’s health, you know. 

Anyway, that’s my two cents on the situation.

As always,

Peace & Love
