Recommendation: gHacks
Software and technology is where it’s at these days. Where what’s at, you say? I’m not sure, but if you’re like me you might be interested in a site that I like to visit pretty regularly.

Eating Healthy will Kill You

Partial Death Abortion
Fetally speaking, I’m well past my 100th trimester (three-month term) since I’m over 20 years of age. Today in one of my classes, we were discussing the legalese of Roe v. Wade and recent law pertaining to abortion. From a legal standpoint (and in order to have relevance for the government to be involved), there… Continue reading Partial Death Abortion
