			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a love of used books. The smell, the texture and the emotions being evoked from holding those used books. I just love dear old, used books that have been thumbed, maybe highlighted and a bit of frayed edges. They have cool covers that have the art that isn&#8217;t seen today anymore. It doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s paperbacks or hard covers, they rock. I love browsing used books in a used book store, just looking at books that would bring me curiosity or something intriguing behind those pages. Also, the reason why we should stick to used books is because they&#8217;re environment friendly and doesn&#8217;t kill any more trees. We should take it as a grain of usefulness to protect our trees yet support the used book stores by frequenting them. However, ever since Internet has taken over the world, used online book stores are also nifty. I like either <a href="http://www.abebooks.com">Abe Books</a> or <a href="http://www.half.com">Half.com</a> for really good deals. Growing up, I love just checking out thousands of books on shelves, everything from romance to horror to nonfiction. I just go there every week and buy a pile of books with my own allowance. I just love entering used book stores. It enthralls me. It brings so much memories. I&#8217;ll always be a hardcore used book worm, even when there&#8217;re Kindle and iPhone apps that brings e-books to your fingertips. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Abortion is a hot topic for many. Many people have opinions about it. Mine is no exception. First of all, I&#8217;m not looking at this to judge anyone&#8217;s decision whether to have an abortion or not because it&#8217;s their own decision to make. It&#8217;s intensely sensitive, personal thing a person has to face and no one should be judged for it just because a woman made a choice. I wanted to share my opinion on this sensitive topic.</p>
<p>I used to be Pro-choice. I had a change of heart and I&#8217;m in favor of Pro-life. After I learned more about God&#8217;s Word, I realize that all creation, babies and the like, comes from our Creator. I&#8217;d hate it to see an unborn child aborted due to careless planning on both parents&#8217; action. I believe that abortion can be eliminated if all people had access to free birth control choices or abstain completely if they wanted to. I do understand that people abort their fetuses for various reasons but I feel that abortion shouldn&#8217;t be there in the first place. I do understand people&#8217;s right to enjoy physical pleasure or don&#8217;t want to have children but they have to be prepared beforehand.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t believe an abortion is the solution to any unintended pregnancy on both parties&#8217; sides, poverty or financial instability, being in college, rape, or underage pregnancy. These reasons are the excuses or reasons to have abortion for many people but they forget about the alternative: adoption. There are many couples or individuals with means being able to afford an adoption of a child and cannot have children of their own. Whether adoption is a good idea or not is an entirely different topic. On account of health when it comes to serious danger to both mother and child, it may be aborted naturally or to induce one. Abortion shouldn&#8217;t be like something you hop in and have a quick cosmetic surgery just because it&#8217;s a non-living entity growing within one&#8217;s body so it&#8217;s as easy as popping a morning after pill or undergoing surgery. I believe that before doing any sexual activity the couples or individuals choosing to do this need to think about the costly consequences that come after the heat of passion wears away. Abortion can be prevented in the first place by using any form of birth control or abstain completely (the biblical way). Abstinence, in my honest opinion, is the best gift ever to give yourself. Once you lose your virginity, you will never get it back and you&#8217;re in danger of pregnancy, STDs, pain, and more. It&#8217;s not a game to play.</p>
