Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Having just come off of our men's day I thought this was a good article.

I especially like #2 and #3 of the talking points below

Talking Points

Our readers might find the following talking points useful in communicating ideas from this article to others:

1. We are made for love relationship and interdependence — only through gift of self do we find meaning in life.
2. The moment you get pregnant you are a mother. The moment you get
   someone pregnant you are a father. You exercised your volition when you
   chose to have sex.

3. Because of abortion, women look at motherhood as a "choice". Now
   men have come to look at fatherhood as a "choice". Over 34% of children
   are currently living away from their biological fathers.

4. Simply carrying out the functions of a father does not make one a father.
5. More support and encouragement are needed for men to accept
   fatherhood. Being a father is hard, maybe the hardest thing a man will
   ever do, but it is also the most rewarding thing for him and something
   immensely good for his wife, his children, and the present and future
   well being of civilization.

I pray men reclaim their fatherhood, the way to peace for themselves and their families….
