Father's Day is June 21, a week from this coming Sunday. As promised, I'm writing a series of stories--this is the third--about what not ought to but is radioactive: Men and abortion, or, more accurately, why men ought to have a critical voice in deciding the fate of their child.
We've collectively been so inundated with the "fact" that abortion is a "woman's decision" that it's difficult to remember that this is an absurd proposition on a gazillion different levels.
I am not naive. No one is neglecting the truth that carrying a baby to term is not easy under the best of circumstances, or that care of that child most often falls disproportionately on the mother. But it doesn't follow from that the father ought not to have a voice in the fate of a child that is his as well as hers.
