I feel that any moves that the president makes to encourage responsible fatherhood are positive ones, I do think that the father is an important role model and first coach for children. As Co-Founder of Ecodads I don't think it's just conservative Christian groups that are taking note about Obama's emphasis on fatherhood - but how about a larger group of people: fathers. At Ecodads our mission is to create a strong, active network of fathers setting examples for our children to live into a sustainable future. We seek to accomplish this through local community programs that support sustainable economic, social, and environmental development. We’re not specialists of any kind – we’re just average dads doing what we can to make the stuff we do with our kids matter. Ecodads is launching the alpha version of our website this Father’s Day at http://www.ecodads.org – please visit!

As president of five organizations, I met many women, l960 - 1977. Most of them said most or all of their children were unplanned, as were mine. Once here, we raised our children but enough of us took action so we finally got Roe v Wade. It stopped our civil government from enforcing ban-abortion church laws. That enforcement made churches wealthy with tithe income. We traded stories, and most had mothers who were stuck with the wearing work of having more than two children. We traded stories of how we tried to make diaphragms and jelly work, and about douches, with us up in the cold tile of bathrooms while hubbies slept after orgasm. Obama has two children

and his wife on TV said that was enough. Vasectomy or tied tubes or what? Why don't more men refuse to be stuck with big families? They see rich men witb a child or two and easy abortions--while for them every act of intercourse has the "threat' of fatherhood. Babies are not "gifts of God." They're consumers. Walk-away dads prove they want taxes to be consumed to rear their abandoned boys and girls.

Congress is packed with yokels who say they believe a male god made everything. They say they believe there was a big Flood and that an imaginary half-mortal and half-mortal freak called Christ could die and live again. If he managed to stay dead, that would be a "miracle." Obama should use executive order to end paying taxes to religious corporations who have enormous income from tithes, legacies, investmens, etc. Congress should free women from being DOOMED to motherhood just because a male leaves a few-minute -long orgasmic sperm deposit inside her. Taxpaid abortions, taxpaid voluntary sterilizations and taxpaid contraceptives should be expected here. We are not a theocracy where people obey goofy church laws like no sex for priests and nuns. Do you know they are supposed to "burn with the pain of unexpressed sexual desire," as a "sacrifice to God?" Some of them whack themselves with whips to take their minds off all that sexual burning. Obama is a very poor example of 'family values" when he clings to such primitive beliefs about sexuality.
