- I find it funny, and as a potential father in the future, sad that several
- pro choice people jumped on Edward Simond's back when he said that a woman
- got HERSELF pregnant, yet turn around and vehemently state that it is the
- woman's natural right to have an abortion. C J even went so far as to
- claim nobody was involved but the mother and her doctor. The prevailing
- attitude seems to be that the father DOES have responsibility for the
- pregnancy, DOES have responsibility for supporting the child, but DOESN'T
- have any say in the matter of whether that pregnancy is continued or not.

- Although I agree wholeheartedly with Edward Simmonds, I am above asking him
- to put his money where his mouth is. I am surprised that none of the pro
- choice people noticed he claimed 'references available upon request' to
- back up his statements and despite having asked two other people for their
- sources, completely ignored someone ('s request for him to provide those
- references.
