Gary, how many single mothers are out there raising their children all alone? I know my dad was nowhere to be found and did not support me one day of my life. In fact, I supported him after I was grown. And I just love how you post all the noble aspects of fatherhood, but leave out the actual facts on how many fathers don't care or provide for their kids. Typically, whatever mess the man leaves behind must be dealt with by the woman. As I said many times before, there are very, very, few men out there fighting for the right to raise their unborn child on their own. Do you know why? Because it's very, very difficult to do. Most men in fact, support their girlfriends or wives decision to terminate, because they know that the burden of responsibility falls on her shoulders. And about the financial aspect of parenthood, you would have to agree that in today's economy, both parents are supporting the family, because we can't live on one income alone any more, not for a long time now. You seem to be stuck in the 1950's type of mentality. Time to upgrade your system, times have changed.
