Shortly after the presidential debate, I heard a meme that encouraged women and “fathers of women” to come together to support a woman’s right to make health care choices for herself.
I loved the “fathers of women” clause because that includes me! I have two wonderful women who call me dad. I am proud to be included. As I write this, it occurs to me that more men should also be included: grandfathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, friends, teachers, etc.
In short, I believe that everyone should recognize that making decisions about personal health care is a right and a privilege.
The notion that these decisions are subject to federal or state government approval is as bogus as a $3 bill.
