We're grateful for this important step toward holding accountable those who would pressure or force women into abortions they do not want. Tennessee is a strongly pro-life state and the overwhelming, bi-partisan passage (87-8 House and 27-4 Senate)demonstrates an area where agreement exists: COERCION IS CRIMINAL!

Some people might wonder what the big deal is, if she is only an administrator. Well, this same university co-hosted a conference with a CCHD-funded group called “Women In Transition”, at which a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest gave a speech. The topic? Here was the title of the presentation: “It begins with me: Confronting reproductive health issues.” A fitting title, since abortion is the height of selfishness, whether it is a woman choosing to dispose of her child or a father threatening, coercing, or encouraging the mother to do so. No, pro-aborts, it isn’t all about women.

The culture of death insists on seeing all persons as objects. Plentiful Porn is the data to support that claim, if any more is needed. The original post, as I read it, was simply a call for fathers to accept their fatherhood, which is a gift, and not run away from it. The fact is that, like all that is real, there is no running away from it. Even dads who are many many years post-abortive still suffer from it. To me, Fathers taking responsibility for their children is a "restructuring" that would only be a good thing for the dad, the mom, the baby and this culture. “There’s no progress in such supposed restructuring”

Did I accidentally run over your beloved childhood pet? I don't believe I have ever made a post or comment on any topic that you have found agreeable. Regardless of what position I take, it seems I can always count on Micha Elyi to be hovering around with a negative and disparaging comment. I don't care one single bit about "infantilization". If the statistics are true, if the testimony is true, then it must be dealt with, not ignored so as not to offend. Why in heaven's name would you want to let irresponsibile, violent men off the hook? And what's next, calling an acknowledgement of domestic abuse or rape "infantilization"? "What, you're saying women can't take care of themselves? That they let men beat them? That's not very empowering! Let's pretend every woman is a strong willed warrior princess and that domestic violence is a fantasy invented by men to make women think they are victims!" There's certainly no progress in the ceaseless stream of bitterness that seems to emanate from every comment you leave on every post. You act as if we are long standing rivals, when the truth is that I don't believe you have ever had a kind thing to say about anything I or anyone else has ever written. What IS your problem? What is it with you, “Micha”?

Restructuring ones premise from women are victims of men to men victimize women is the same old infantilization of women and bashing of men.
