The Scenario: "The Game" Past Abortion

One of my favorite shows "The Game" returned to tv this week. The premiere was really dramatic and fast moving. It was good to me. The Jason/Chardonnay storyline looks to be promising. Jason is a smartass and I cannot wait to see what will come. Malik is still my fave. Tasha Mack is still Tasha Mack. But, Derwin and Melanie are the heart of this show. I have been a fan of these two since day one. There was one storyline that stuck out the most to me. Melanie admitted that she had an abortion that Derwin knew nothing about. Fireworks ensued. This is a touchy topic and I have a definite opinion on it. Read at your own risk.

My stance on abortion is twofold. For myself, I have always been pro-life. I have never believed in abortion for myself. That being saying, I have always been pro-choice for everyone else. It has never been my belief that its my right to tell another woman what to do with her body. That woman's life is that woman's choice. Fortunately, I have never been put in the position to have to make this choice. Derwin being more upset about the fact that the baby Melanie aborted wasn't his is ridiculous. When he thought the baby was his, he forgave her. He was calm and comforting.

The situation is even crazier by the reality of Derwin and Melanie's life. Melanie has had to swallow the pill of Derwin having a baby with someone else. There has been drama with Melanie and Janay, the baby's mom, since day one. Melanie is a step-mom before ever being a Mom. But, she gladly takes all of that on because she loves her husband. She has been very forgiving of Derwin and all the drama he has brought into their lives. I believe that Derwin was beyond wrong in the situation. His anger was misplaced because of his animosity towards Trey Wiggs, the father of the baby Melanie aborted. He's had an isseu with Trey since college. He also punched Trey at the end of the episode.

I just didn't get Derwin condemning Melanie's actions AFTER he found out the baby wasn't his. All of this information is old news. they have been married for a few years now so the past should rest in the past. Both of them have made mistakes. Both have been more wrong than right. Derwin's anger angered me last night. The consensus on Twitter was just about the same. Most of my Twitter followers reiterated my sentiments. I am just ready for this couple to be happy and drama free, if only for an episode or two lol. What do you guys think of this scenario? Did Derwin have a right to be angry? Was Melanie wrong for not telling him or Trey? Let's discuss.

Let's Discuss "Grey's Anatomy's" Cristina Yang

For some strange reasons, I love medical dramas. I was an avid fan of "ER" from the beginning to end. The same goes for "Grey's Anatomy." Well, except the season after they fired Isiah Washington for something so dumb. From inception, I have not been a big fan of the character Cristina Yang. She is an odd woman to me. I have never agreed with her actions or the reckless things she always says. She just isn't a lovable character. I tolerate her. Barely. She is portrayed as very cold, and stoic. She only seems to warm up to Meredith Grey and her husband Owen. In general, she is a great doctor but not so much a great person.

Thursday night's season premiere was full of many shocking moments. Before I get into them, let's talk background information for a minute. Cristina has had two great love stories. One ended when her fiance' left her at the alter. The second one is ongoing. She married another brilliant surgeon. Their relationship and marriage is very unorthodox and strange. There were many reasons as to why these two individuals should not have gotten married. but alas, they did. Trouble followed closely behind the "I do's." Cristina has never wanted kids. She got pregnant by her first boyfriend. She scheduled an abortion without telling him. She ending up not having the abortion but only because she had a tubal pregnancy. She lost the baby.



Cut to the end of last season, this married, brilliant doctor got pregnant by her husband. Two great doctors who are married and have different ideas about kids did not take any precautions to prevent pregnancy. What? Seriously people?? The two of them should be better at preventative measures. They weren't. Cristina found out she was pregnant on last season's finale. Her husband Owen was over the moon happy. She was clearly not. She proclaimed, without an discussion, that she was having an abortion. She did not give him a choice. She made a decision without any thought. How freaking selfish?? I cannot believe that a grown woman who has already had an unplanned pregnancy would allow herself to end up in the same predicament. And, that she would make the same choice to end it. Owen finally gave in and went with her to have the procedure done. I do not like this storyline.

I am disgusted with the way all of this has played out so far. I do not believe in abortions. Well, let me say that for myself I am 100% Pro-Life. That has always been my stance. I'm sure my Mom has a lot to do with that. Since before I was sexually active, she made sure I knew all of my options. She also let me know that abortion wasn't one of them. I respected her for having such strong convictions on the subject. For everyone else, I am Pro-Choice. I believe in what I believe in. I respect other's beliefs as well. I just don't want anyone pushing their agenda and beliefs on me. I am a 31 year old woman. I am pretty sure my mind is set on many things.

The Cristina/Owen storyline is just unrealistic to me. Having children is a big ticket idea when discussing marriage. It is essentially a deal breaker. I know I could not marry a man who didn't want to have kids because I definitely do. It's one thing I will not budge on. I also wouldn't want to talk a man into having kids. That would not end well. I guess I'm just really surprised the writers went in that direction. I also cannot wait to see what the fallout from this decision will be. I am positive it will be the breaking point of their marriage. When you want to have kids, it is not something that you can suppress for long. I will be watching to see what develops.
