!!!URGENT WARNING from Michelle Mulherin TD

[Doozer]

Personally I'd prefer to share custody at some level if that was at all possible, as I'm definitely not suitable to be a father of a young child, nor for that matter do I ever intend to have children. But I would feel that as both parties engaged in intercourse by consent, it should be split equally.

So I suppose in a case where that wasn't possible, abortion would have to be considered otherwise I'd just go off and jump of the end of pier if I was expected to raise a child.

Would.you not.consider giving.it.up for adoption ?

People.

Is abortion and all the associated baggage that comes with it on both sides really a suitable topic for an escort forum?

Sorry, yes, I forgot completely about that option. I'd do that.

Just goes to show how even such a hypothetical dilemma can make you get tunnel vision and close off options without even knowing it!

I suppose, as an alternative to running from it, I'd prefer to face it and do whatever I could to support the woman. I could only give my view, bearing in mind that I don't have to go through pregnancy, but if we're talking about it realistically it's the woman that would have to make the decision (and who I would want to make the decision), irrespective of my view, and I'd have to respect that and contribute to the fabled "boat to England".

I resent mightily any man´s attempt to interfere with a woman´s right to decide what is best for her. May that man be

a legistlator or the ´father´ of the pregnancy. If you do not want your ´child´ to possibly be aborted, then make sure

you only impregnate a woman who is willing and able to carry your seed to full term and bear you a child.


I had one pregnancy, was going to have it. It had a heartbeat. I lost the pregnancy at 14 weeks. It hurt for a long

time (and I mean not physically). What man can judge us ? The pain, the thought, the dilemma, the fear, the

forethought, the panic, all the emotions that go into deciding if you are going to keep an unexpected pregnancy ?

And then the heartache.

(((((hugs)))))) Stephanie.

One of my best friends at the time fell pregnant just before I fell pregnant with my child. In fact, I found out that she had lost hers through miscarriage, just as I had found out that I was pregnant. I remember how guilty I felt, because I knew how happy I was to be pregnant and how much I wanted my child, so I had some idea of how bad she must of felt. She had support of her family and husband and later went on to have 2 lovely girls. It was then I learnt of the statistics with reference to miscarriage.

Years earlier I had been friends with a woman who was older than myself, I guess she may have been in her mid 20s. I remember that she had an abortion. She went to the clinic, I'm not sure who went with her, but afterwards she came back to an empty house and I can recollect her lying on the sofa looking fragile and vacant in mind. I don't think she told her parents, although her brother likely knew, as they were close. There was a feeling of trepidation and no one actually talked about it, it was just accepted and we were trying to move on.

I don't know if she ever regretted it. I don't think she ever went on to have any children afterwards.

I don't think it will ever be accepted as 'the norm' or the 'easy option', but for some it is a necessary evil and a little more compassion could be given.

I'm not sure that she is saying that exactly. They have used a 14 year old girl as the example of someone who was denied having an abortion. She is then looking at people that she describes as 'weak', but what is not being discussed is the fact that contraception has been villified for all these years and the solution is in making sure that everyone who is sexually active and not wanting to bring life into this world is using it and not relying on their partner to be the one using it (ie both using it). Why go straight to the cure and not the solution?

If only they could get the pope to kiss and condom and say it was a gift from God and then you might get less unwanted children and needless abortions.

Apologies to anyone who is religious and thinks that is blasphemous, but to me it is all didactic rubbish, but they do have the power to make people listen and I wish they would use it for good for a change.

No more blasphemous Kate than having women priests,they did exist in the early church but have been photo shopped,or air brushed out because of the view of a nutter of an early pope.There is a wing in the vatican to educate the children of priests that followed the dictate of rome and said no to the condom,what happen to the rest of the children that has been father by priests no one knows.

Sending you a great big hug Stephanie,I am sorry about your little angel in heaven before its time,knew someone that miscarried and it had a devestating effect on her,life is prescious,but agree with your statment about the father,and it is your body after all,I am going to hell in a bucket if the church is right,then again,their rules are made by old men who do not know what real life is like,much like our politicans.
