I read this article the other day about the death of Aalyiah (excuse spelling). For the most part, the article made sense. The author went on about how it is understandably difficult to explain to the singer's younger fans about the randomness of death. Such other rap stars like Tupac and B.I.G., were both killed violently because of revenge....so it is slightly more acceptable.
All of this is true.
However, at the end of one's article, he/she said "For those of you who believe Aalyiah died at a very young age, what about all of those babies who never live to see birthday No. 1?"
Now, someone please tell me what the hell abortion has to do with the death of a singer? I'm fucking fed up with pro-life assholes pushing their bible-belt beliefs on the public. As someone experienced with the pain and loss and confusion of abortion, I believe that author shouldn't express authority where none is gained.
