I wanted to wade in here on the having children issue.
First I do feel that men need to take more responsibility for
birth control. However, I do understand the point Will is trying
to make. Here in this small town I live in a woman was convicted of
trying to suffocate here child. She was sentenced to three years.
The father was given custody, he was running for a seat on the school
board. He succeeded in killing the 18 month old child. He was sentenced
to three years. On the other side, a young woman was arrested for
trafficking cocaine, she was sentenced to 25-75 years on each count.
The one disappointment I do have in our society is the (lack) of value
we place on children, and elderly. We have to have licenses to drive
a car, to build, to have a boat, yet any moron can have a child. I
understand
the anger one can feel over the abuse of a child, physical, mental, or
sexual.
There was one man in the Dayton, Ohio area that took his four year old by
the legs and swung him around like a baseball bat and hit his head into a
wall,
why? Because the kid put his finger into a pumpkin pie. Although money, and
station are by no means a guideline for having children, I do agree that
people
(men too) should not have children if they are not financially, or emotionally
ready for them. Having said that, I just to say I would not be here if my
parents had waited for financial reasons. I was born in to poverty at it's
worst. We ate milk gravy and white bread. My father would tear covers off
match books to put in his shoes to patch the holes. They never went on
welfare. My dad started out a box boy, he retired a V.P. same company.
The morals, the ethics they showed us live in each one of us. My dads
favorite saying to us was, "Don't tell me, show me." That was for anything.
Don't say you love me, show me. Don't say you're sorry, show me. I'm sorry
I have rambled on so long, but children are a gift. Abortion is an unopened
gift,
abuse is an abortion.
