I am very sorry. I really did not know all that and hope you forgive me.:3oops:
Agree that you have ever right to your own opinion. Again sorry
It's okay, Kali. We all get excited sometimes, me included.

What about others of us who have stories as well, you lashed at men, now you get all soft and apologetic when one shoves his story under your snout. What's with that crap? So, you just make emotionally charged illogical statements and then catz comes along and forgives your rude outbursts? Your real classy Kali.
Kali means well, she just gets excited sometimes. As we all do, when expressing our views.
I agree that it isn't just me, as a man, that has the "right" to an opinion. Everyone affected or involved in a thing has a right to a position on it.
For instance, war affects the soldiers themselves most of all, and secondly their families, but it also affects the nation as a whole.
I'm not the only man, by
far, who has a similar story to tell: of loving an unexpected child, making a committment to that child, and fulfilling that committment regardless of the cost or difficulty.
Despite the "Deadbeat Dad" stereotypes propagated by the media (and I'll grant there are men like that, but not as many as is made out to be), there are LOTS of men, a majority, who love their children dearly and put their efforts where their love is.
Once we leave the scenario of the teenage or 20-ish ho-dawg types who screw anything that moves and find responsibility abhorrent; once we start talking about actual
men and not oversexed boys, there are many men who would be devastated if their wife or lady told them she was going to abort their child.
The reason we have a right to an opinion is not about male dominance of female reproduction or anything like that. The reason we have a right to be heard on this topic can be summed up in one word: Love.
We love our children.
