About this Blog

On the issue of abortion, we will make more progress if we saw the issue more broadly as the right of fathers and mothers. Let me explain: Abortion debates must be taken out of the hands of politicians and TAKEN INTO THE BEDROOM. Potential fathers and mothers need to make this decision together in the bedroom, where the "issue" originated. Both sides have a say about the future issue. If these couples are left to make their decision, with input from physicians when needed, we will reach the usual consensus, the usual reasonable solution. Like all rights, this is an issue crying out for balance, because I would feel sorely excluded after a woman uses my body and bodily fluids and then say the "issue" is only about her body, and her rights. We are generally in agreement that not every preganancy is desirable; but don't exclude the potential fathers from the final decision. This is the way to avoid the extremes that fanatics present for us.
