(51,076 posts)let me say. I'm a Vietnam Vet who spent 15 months exposed to agent orange. I read early on upon my return that many of the Vets were fathering, giving birth too, whichever the case may be, to some Children with some serious health issues suspected to be due to their exposure to A.O. So I decided that I didn't want to father a child with those odds. I can love anyone mans child just as well as my own
I grew up poor in a poor neighborhood and had many friends with only one parent so I've always felt that being a step parent would be a noble cause. All children can benefit, (notice I used the word Can,) from a two parent home. I have two step Sons and a most wonderful step Grand Daughter. I wasn't a very good step parent but I did the best I could with the issues I came home with that I didn't realize I had until many years later.
Having said all that I admit that I've been in on the decision making part of a couple abortions and to this day I feel we made the right decisions. Before anyone starts on me not all birth control is 100%.
I want no Politician nor judge or anyone else, (possibility father to be explained later,) to have any say in any womans decision on whether to have an abortion or not, under any circumstances I might add
I'll also say I'm not bound by religion as I'm a Non-Religious person who does not believe that there is a God or anything like that. We simply evolved and are evolving as we live today. I also feel that it is your or anyone else's right to believe as you or they so chose.
Let the Woman make up her mind about Abortion without any bullshit from anyone other than the father if she so choses to allow that.
My apologies for not being a very good writer and possibly not making much sense here.
Peace
PS As I said to you many years ago you are the person who should, if we were to have one, be the voice for this board
