A LITTLE RESPECT FOR FATHERS

A MESSAGE to all the right-to-lifers out there. If you would fight as hard for the rights of fathers as you do for the rights of unborn babies, the problem of abortion would go away.

And to the pro-choicers: no one can take away your right to control your own body. They can only make it illegal or try to make you feel guilty.

Just remember when children do come, that you're supposed to support them, not them you. That support includes repecting their father. The make him pay attitude only causes everyone more and more pain.

Contrary to popular opinion, fathers are not the problem, they are in fact the solution. JOHN N. SMILEY ROANOKE
