Decisions decisions

Sorry for missing blog for choice day. Here's my deal: you're Christian, right? You believe abortion is a sin, right? Here's the problem with that stance. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that legislation is the right solution for an end to sin. The bible also says that lust is a sin, but there is no way to legislate against lust (not that the christian conservative movement isn't trying, abstinence only sex education -- yeesh). If you are really committed to preventing abortion, pray for those who don't have the resources you have, better yet, volunteer at one of the many organisations that specialise in giving women who want another alternative the resources to figure out how exactly to do that. Making a law against abortion actually harms more than it helps. It prosecutes doctors who are trying to care for their pregnant patients, and it causes women who believe abortion to be their only option to find it in unsafe, unclean places. Abortion is not a choice I would make, but I will fight until my voice leaves me to keep it a choice for every other woman.

I've been a little distracted these days because I found out on Sunday that my bigot boyfriend wasn't divorced like he said. Also, not only was he still legally married, he was still sleeping with his (ex?) wife. So, now I have a decision to make: does lying about still being married and sexually involved necessitate castration, or just ex-communication? I'm not sure I have the balls (pardon the pun) for either, really. I mean, he's leaving for a country very, very far away in a matter of months (weeks?), so can't I let it continue? I think my heart is broken, though, so I'm avoiding him whilst I deliberate.

I'm also unsure how to proceed because I sort of saw this coming. I mean, I didn't really (who can?), but when we first got together, I asked him if he was sure he wasn't married, and I just never let it go. It even became a joke between us, like he would say he needed to leave to get back to his wife and kids. So, the real question is, when am I going to stop falling for men who can lie to me, to my face, for as long as they can avoid telling the truth?

Also, I beat Zelda: Twilight Princess last night. It was *awesome*.
