lost respect

[Tx Redneck]

I understand how you feel having had one of my children taken from me that way.

i really think i have lost respect for my dad. my wife does not like him at all. a few years ago, while i was living in VA working for him, my wife calls me and tells me she is pregnant. i tell my dad and he flips out and tells me "you know it's early enough that you can take care of it." that really pissed me off, as it did my wife. fast forward to last week. he tells me that him and his wife are pregnant. he is 58 and she is 42. today, i called him to talk about the Cowboy game and ask about her. he then tells me that they talked about it and decided to get an abortion because women past 40 can have complications, and that he felt too old to have a child now. im guessing he consulted with his crystal ball and knew what would happen. i only believe in abortion if the woman was raped or the mother will die from the pregnancy. anyway, it just ticks me off of their decision. my wife and i believe that you should feel lucky to give birth and it dam sure shouldn't be used as birth control.
