Derek starting eating rice cereal about a month ago and surprisingly he loved it, he would eat 2 tablespoons at a time! But a couple weeks ago I started introducing carrots, squash, sweet potatoes and peas and this morning I tried to feed him oatmeal for breakfast and he refused to it! WTH Derek you used to love oatmeal!?! I even tried to mix it with squash and he still refused with clamped lips and crying.I don't know what to do, my baby will never eat oatmeal again!
Derek is crying right now so I will have to cut this short but I read an interesting article in Elle Magazine titled "The Parent Trap" and its about if men have the right to choose when the mother wants the baby and the man doesn't.
Okay Derek is napping! Long story short a man and woman got together and decided that if they were ever to get pregnant they would terminate the pregnancy because neither of them were capable of being good parents at the time. She got pregnant and ended the pregnancy because the man wanted her to but she said that if he wasn't standing by her she would have kept the baby. Then she got pregnant again in 2009 and before the abortion she looked at the ultrasound and decided to keep the baby and told the man. He left her and when he was served with child support papers he decided to be the spokesperson for the National Center for Men on male reproductive rights. He thinks that the legal system is corrupt against men and also discriminates against them in custody arrangements. The man argues that reproductive choices are not a fundamental right if it is only limited to the person carrying the baby. Another man in the article brought a lawsuit called Roe v. Wade for Men to the court system. This man believed his girlfriend tricked him into getting her pregnant and his argument was that his girlfriend had the constitutional right to choose to end her pregnancy he had no comparable right. He was arguing that he shouldn't have to be financially responsible for a child that he didn't want.
Of course these men were publically chastised when they were bringing these views to the table, many media outlets told them that they were not stepping up to the plate and if you play you pay.
So what do you think? Do men have reproductive rights?
