Should men have "the right to choose"?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't think women should be allowed to murder their children through abortion. It's the father's child too. I think the father should have a choice regarding his own kids.

True Dave,

Sorry to hear about the loss of your child. I don't quite know what to say except for I imagine a lot of men are in your situation right now. This can have devastating psychological consequences for both men and women so I hope that if you haven't come to some sort of resolution about it that you will find others who have experienced what you have to talk to. Thank you for sharing this.

I honestly don't think about it much anymore. It was years before I felt I could even think something contrary to "be supportive."

Sometimes I try to think what grade she ( I never had a sister so I would love a daughter) would be in now. It was a long time ago. I guess I've tried not to remember too much. I certainly didn't write the day down or something.

I know I feel adoption is OK, because theres so many kids already. As a teacher I loved all the kids. Honestly I couldn't imagine handling just one kid. Supervising 4 or 5 was always easier because you can take cues from them( and turn them on each other when they get on your nerves). But then they say having your own is different.

Is it? Would it be?

I think, I think she would be eleven maybe twelve. No I forget the 9 months. She'd be a teenager. Wow I would be the father of a teenager! I certainly would'nt be mistaken for a college student anymore! Being a Dad that long would show. No more afternoon naps. I would'nt have done as much travelling as I have. I would'nt have studied and learned as much as I have. But I'd know things. Maybe I would'nt feel something missing. I'd have someone to wake up worring about other than myself. Sounds like prison and freedom at the same time.
My nose is too big. I hope she wouldnt have it. She would have had the chance to meet my parents. No child I ever have now will have that chance.
I would have liked that.
This is the first time I've ever really thought about it. I didnt think it was that big a deal untill you folks said so.

I wouldn't have had time to be AS I would have been busy being DAD.
