Listen sweet pea. You are the one who was started in with the insults. If you can't discuss a difficult subject without resorting to insults, perhaps you should just crawl away from the Free Republic.
I do not buy into depriving anyone of their rights, for the children, or any other lame excuse. Morally a father should take care of his kids. Legally the responsibility goes with the choice. I do not buy the "My choice Your responsibility" thinking of the left. If they want Choice to be the law, well then responsibility has to go with it.
