Dr Phil

I rarely watch TV....and even more rare is me watching a Dr Phil show or an Oprah show....however, it seems that when I do have a lazy afternoon and I flip on the TV and watch one of those shows I am BLOWN AWAY by the stupidity of people! It is so sad to me how awful people can act and treat others and it be considered "okay".

SO today Dr Phil had a guy on his show that was protesting his being forced into fatherhood and all that entails ($500 per month in child support). This guy (I hesitate to use the word Dad or Father) was in a law suit over the fact that he, as a man, is not given the same choices a woman is given when she does not want to become a parent. He says he should not be forced into caring for a child he "accidentally" created and does not want. Do I even need to go into this subject? I mean PLEASE....if you have sex, there is ALWAYS the possibility of conceiving a child. I have done numerous births for moms who have been VERY careful and VERY protected and yet they are pushing out a baby. (ummm....isn't God in control of that anyway?????????). So for him to say he did not make that choice is insane. He says that the mom could have aborted the child, put the child up for adoption or abandoned the child and society would have been fine with that.....but he as the biological father has no choice as to what to do with the child and if he wants to support that child or not. Well, shall we break this down? Okay! :)

God did not intend for us to have sex outside of the marriage relationship. If they had obeyed the rules they would not ever have to worry about having a baby.

Birth control is NEVER 100%. This particular mom was on the Pill. As stated before, I have done births for moms who have been on the pill, used a prophylactic, had an IUD, been on depo, had their tubes tied, had a hubby with a vasectomy.....etc. If you are having sex you are saying you are willing to have a child.

Just because the law states that something is okay does NOT mean that in the eyes of the Lord it is okay. A woman's "choice"of having an abortion is not a choice, it is murder. Just because she technically can lawfully decided to have her child sucked down a sink does not make it right. SO her ability of being able to dispose of a baby does not make it okay for him (the dad) to not take care of the baby he has helped create. (that is this mans argument)

So later in the broadcast I saw a dad who is wanting to have more kids even though the mom is NOT wanting anymore...and a dad who is on strike (on his roof) till his wife gives in and gets the baby out of their room (no kidding). WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE GUYS? It sounds to me like they are being extremely selfish and really only care about themselves and what THEY want. The heart of this issue is pride, arrogance and selfishness. Not that all the moms are 100% correct (except in the baby in the bed thing....HELLOOOOOO....it is proven to be better for the baby to be with mom in the early months than in his/her own crib alone). It sounds to me like these couples have an underling problem here that effects the parenting relationship.....and they need to get that taken care of before anything else going to get any better.

So does this mean that everyday on every Dr Phil show they have some idiot on there who is a jerk...and Dr Phil has to try and sort it out? Poor Dr Phil.
