Why Do Women Need Control Over Their Bodies? Understanding Abortion Laws in India
The issue of abortion has consistently sparked considerable debate and conversation. Some individuals advocate for the rights of mothers or pregnant women to choose to continue with the pregnancy or terminate it; conversely, others believe that a foetus is more than just a mere collection of cells, viewing it as a living entity with its own life, deserving of individual rights and freedoms separate from those of the pregnant woman. A notable instance when personal freedoms were at risk was when women's access to safe abortion services was jeopardized. For many years, until 1971, India deemed abortion criminal and referred to it as “intentionally causing miscarriage.” Voluntary abortion, except in cases where the pregnant woman's life was endangered, could result in a punishment of up to three years in prison, a monetary fine, or both.

Welcoming the Sabbath
Tonight is Friday night and at sundown, Sabbath began. I was listening to one of my favorite Christian playlists, while trying not to cry, and thinking back to something a good friend said, "good things come to good people." My life has been throwing one thing after another at me - which makes me feel insane and started to question if maybe deep down I am a terrible person who is just now getting what they deserve.

No Pain, No Gain?
I remember as a little girl thinking my grandmother was the most loving and craziest person I knew. Nobody loved me better in my opinion, however she would say some really disturbing things. Before I had even stepped foot into a school, she had told me two things that had me very worried: 1. "Life is extremely hard." 2. "It only gets harder as you get older." I believed her, yet I think that's why I was also so quick to give up or get so suicidally depressed. It's not that she was serving me a deception, and I know her intentions were to prepare me for the challenges ahead, but perhaps that pep talk would have been better served at a later time.

Reflect and Celebrate: 16 Reminders of Your Evolution in Life Journey
It is humane of us not to be able to fathom how far we have come from the traces of the past when we are so focused on taking new strides towards the goals we have set for ourselves. We have probably heard it from external sources about how much we have changed as a person, how we have imbibed nuances of transformation that have made us embrace newer habits, personas, mindsets and even surroundings.
