Dare to read? This paper is not for the reader who is looking for an easy read. This paper will challenge the reader and ask the reader to think “outside” the box on a very important topic. Change needs to take place. This will not be a simple decision; meditating and cud-chewing on this topic will be a start for this path headed for a better, revolutionized era. In fact, it starts with a “voice”. A good example of a “voice” for public awareness is Candy Lightner. “Her daughter was tragically killed by a drunk driver who was a repeat offender. Her pain and loss drove this mom to be a “voice” and “raise public disapproval of drunk driving with the reduction of drunk driving traffic fatalities” (Hanson PH.D.). Her “voice” turned into …show more content…
She has to carry the child; it is her body that will be changing; so it should be her decision only. The woman does not have to ask for permission or listen to any input from the man who was a part in creating this child. It has always been the woman’s choice from the start of abortion. Why would anyone want to change something that has been continuing without any issues? The opposing side does not see a need for change. It has been working all this time with no or small resistance. This side is focused only on a one-sided part of the entire picture. So, I beg to differ on their close-minded decision. A door needs to open up for change. Albert Einstein quoted, “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without our thinking” (Einstein, Good Reads/Quotes). This leads me to my first point: freedom of choice. Does not a man has the same equal rights of freedom a woman has? Our nation strives to extend equality to all individuals, no matter their race or beliefs. This nation today has painfully grown from its weakness for equality of every human being and is proudly displaying its changes for every individual’s rights. How many abortions would your estimate happened in the United States alone? Has that thought every even crossed your mind? Ponder on this …show more content…
If a woman chooses to keep a child, she can force financial responsibility from the father by child support. What if the father did not want his child? If the woman decides to keep her child, then the government forces the father to financially support his child, whether he wanted on not wanted the child. So, a father does not have a say in child support if the woman decides to keep the child. I find it interesting that the law forces the financial responsibility of a father but does not want his input of choice on his child. I do believe a man should take care of his responsibilities, whether financially, physically or emotionally. I just find it interesting that a man was not asked his opinion or able to put an opinion regarding his child from the beginning. This shows a conflict and contradiction against our nation’s foundation for equality. Going back to my brother, he was willing to take his first aborted child completely with all the responsibility required in rearing the child without the girl. He even offered that no child support or obligation would come from her. She would be free and clear from his child. Why was not my brother’s voice
