A bankrupt friend is pregnant for the third unwanted time(this time, I’m not sure who the father is). If she doesn’t get an abortion, she wont be able to work and will not be able to support her family. Her husband isnt really supportive either. They are separated but not divorced or have their marriage annulled.
She is now asking me for money so she could get an abortion. I am pro choice but I’m afraid that if something happens to her during the procedure, I will not be able to forgive myself. I’m not rich and she is almost eating through my finances already.
What I’m angry about is while i’m taking care of my virginity(and i’m older than her) she’s the one getting laid and giving me problems!
What am I to do!?
Is this my punishment for being and atheist and me as her help from god for being a christian?

Amnesty International was founded in London in July 1961 by English labour lawyer, Peter Benenson. Amnesty International involves voluntary members and a small number of paid professionals. It has several countries where they had a strong presence, and were organized in “sections” .These sections coordinate the basic activities with a significant volume of members, some of whom will form into ‘groups’, and a professional staff. Each have a board of directors. In 2005 there were 52 sections worldwide. ‘Structures’ are aspiring sections. They also coordinate basic activities but have a smaller membership and a limited staff. In countries where no section or structure exists, people can become ‘international members’. Two other organizational models exist: ‘international networks’, which promote specific themes or have a specific identity, and ‘affiliated groups’, which do the same work as section groups, but in isolation
What started as a short appeal soon became a permanent international movement working to protect those imprisoned for non-violent expression of their views and to secure worldwide recognition of Articles 18 and 19 of the UDHR. From the very beginning, research and campaigning were present in Amnesty International’s work. A library was established for information about prisoners of conscience and a network of local groups, called ‘THREES’ groups, was started. Each group worked on behalf of three prisoners, one from each of the then three main ideological regions of the world: communist, capitalist and developing.
By the mid-1960s Amnesty International’s global presence was growing and an International Secretariat and International Executive Committee was established to manage Amnesty International’s national organizations, called ‘Sections’, which had appeared in several countries. The international movement was starting to agree its core principles and techniques. For example, the issue of whether or not to adopt prisoners who had advocated violence, like Nelson Mandela, brought unanimous agreement that it could not give the name of ‘Prisoner of Conscience’ to such prisoners. Aside from the work of the library and groups, Amnesty International’s activities were expanding to helping prisoner’s families, sending observers to trials, making representations to governments, and finding asylum or overseas employment for prisoners. Its activity and influence was also increasing within intergovernmental organizations; it would be awarded consultative status by the United Nations, the Council of Europe and UNESCO before the decade ended.
Leading Amnesty International in the 1970s were key figureheads Sean MacBride and Martin Ennals. While continuing to work for prisoners of conscience, Amnesty International’s purview widened to include “fair trial” and opposition to long detention without trial (UDHR Article 9), and especially to the torture of prisoners (UDHR Article 5). Amnesty International believed that the reasons underlying torture of prisoners, by governments, were either to obtain information or to quell opposition by the use of terror, or both. Also of concern was the export of more sophisticated torture methods, equipment and teaching to “client states.”
Amnesty International drew together reports from countries where torture allegations seemed most persistent and organized an international conference on torture. It sought to influence public opinion in order to put pressure on national governments by organizing a campaign for the ‘Abolition of Torture’ which ran for several years.
Amnesty International’s membership increased from 15,000 in 1969[13] to 200,000 by 1979.[14] This growth in resources enabled an expansion of its program, ‘outside of the prison walls’, to include work on “disappearances”, the death penalty and the rights of refugees. A new technique, the ‘Urgent Action’, aimed at mobilizing the membership into action rapidly was pioneered. The first was issued on March 19, 1973, on behalf of Luiz Basilio Rossi, a Brazilian academic, arrested for political reasons.
At the intergovernmental level Amnesty International pressed for application of the UN’s Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and of existing humanitarian conventions; to secure ratifications of the two UN Covenants on Human Rights (which came into force in 1976); and was instrumental in obtaining UN Resolution 3059 which formally denounced torture and called on governments to adhere to existing international instruments and provisions forbidding its practice. Consultative status was granted at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in 1972.

The organizations outlined above are represented by the International Council (IC) which is led by the IC Chairperson. Members of sections and structures have the right to appoint one or more representatives to the Council according to the size of their membership. The IC may invite representatives from International Networks and other individuals to meetings, but only representatives from sections and structures have voting rights. The function of the IC is to appoint and hold accountable internal governing bodies and to determine the direction of the movement. The IC convenes every two years.
The International Executive Committee (IEC), led by the IEC Chairperson, consists of eight members and the IEC Treasurer. It is elected by, and represents, the IC and meets biannually. The role of the IEC is to take decisions on behalf of Amnesty International, implement the strategy laid out by the IC, and ensure compliance with the organization’s statutes.
The International Secretariat (IS) is responsible for the conduct and daily affairs of Amnesty International under direction from the IEC and IC. It is run by approximately 500 professional staff members and is headed by a Secretary General. The IS operates several work programs; International Law and Organizations; Research; Campaigns; Mobilization; and Communications. Its offices have been located in London since its establishment in the mid-1960s.
Amnesty International is financed largely by fees and donations from its worldwide membership. It does not accept donations from governments or governmental organizations.
I just graduated from College with business finance degree. I am working in my mom’s restaurant all the time because no one else in my family want to take care of it. I am depressed because I felt I always doing stuff for them and don’t have time for myself. I don’t have time to look for a job and even don’t know if I can get a job as my future career or not.
On the other hand, I felt very stressful by all the finanical problems in my family. I have bad dreams every night. I don’t know how to solve my depression and stress. If anyone could give a good suggestion to tell me what to do?
In Germany, if a Turkish immigrant needs to go on welfare, that welfare can include a paycheck, a house or apartment, a car, a TV, and, believe it or not, a vacation once a year. I know of a woman who just brought her family back from an all expense paid two weeks in Barbados. Last year, they went to Mallorca. Is this what the productive citizens of America will be financing with their tax dollars under a Democrat President?

I have 3 kids, and bf of 7 yrs, we moved 3yrs ago to be closer to my family, which was a mistake. We no longer associate with them and have no family support (another story). Anyhow my bf and i have been fighting ever since we moved. We have both been to counceling seperately for personal issues, which did not work. I dont think im in love with him anymore, we have medical issues with our son (allergies, possibly epilepsy) which cause sleepless nights, no family support for a break, and money is tight. I always threaten to leave, but i never do, i have no money of my own and no independence, i dont want to fight over the kids if i leave (we have already faught about this), but with us fighting all of the time (verbally and emotionally) i know its not healthy. I feel like i am the “mother” of him aswell as my kids, but he does work full time and help heaps on weekends with practical stuff. I take on a lot of organising finances, medical stuff for son, as well as being full time mum???
