My son was talked into being the only male panelist on an Austin public access TV call-in show a few years ago.
The topic was, “Do you feel the same way about your abortion now?”
The the panelists were all homeschoolers who admitted they had no knowledge about the emotions involved in abortion, and wanted people to call in with their experiences.
The show turned into a MALE call-in.
Dozens of guys with broken hearts were talking about the child who would have been x years old now, and how with the laws as they are, they were powerless to do anything.
There are lots of victims of abortion.
It’s the man’s job to take care of the pregnant woman and child. Why are men made stronger and more analytical? It’s to perform a role, a function, same as women who connect with thier young children in a way that no man does (the flip side of being analytical I think). The men, many of them anyway, now know that they failed as men when they didn’t do everything they could to save the baby and protect and help the woman so she wasn’t led into killing their child. So there is a lot of grief, especially when the men realize the world lied to them when they were told over and over and over that abortion is no big deal, ok, just a fetus, etc.
Many of the male callers were probably even relieved by the abortion at the time, such an easy solution, only to realize years and years later that they killed their own child.
How many men and women aborted only to never find “Mr. or Miss Right” and are left with no one but a bunch of colleagues at work and sordid memories . . .
