Rules
Quote From: daddydjI became a single parent in 1976 while in the Marine Corp stationed in California. None of this is the child's fault, the fault lies with the man and woman having sex while not being married and in a committed relationship. With that having been said, I agree that things are a bit lopsided regarding choices. Women can choose to have unprotected sex, then decide whether to keep the child or not choosing adoption, abortion, or even the morning after pill. Many times, the father has stated that he " wanted " the baby, but it is the mother's choice because it is her body. What about the father's right to keep his child ? Dr Phil, you missed it in this case. This is not about " what about the Child ." ( Even though the child gets hurt either way ) The young man in this case is simply saying that he should have the same right to the same choices that the mother has. If he desires to " keep " his baby, then the mother should be made to carry the child to term, instead of using the excuse " it's my body " to get rid of a mistake she (they ) made. The point is that both parties should have the same rights going in to the decision to have sex, even if that decision is morally wrong. Why should the women be allowed to abort the baby based on the fact that it is her body when and if the man wants the child ? Maybe if we practiced and preached abstinance until marriage, we as a society would not being asking all these hard questions, but then that would require putting God back in our hearts, lives, and our schools. Have we noticed yet, that when we took God out, we began to see more and more bad decisions being made......is there a connection ? Duh I believe there is more to having sex then just "The Rules". You can't define it in one sentence. There are more then one persons feelings to consider, but even if a man pays child support is it going to make the child grow up happy and healthy and secure? Its always about the money. All the money in the world can't make a child grow up happy, healthy, secure and religious...ect.
