An Opinion, Not a Judgement

The choice is ours, not theirs
Babies do not ask to be born
Babies do not enter this life
of their own free will

Thus one of the most critical decisions
that any of us may ever make
is whether or not to bring...
a child into this world

Something I've always been telling people, Tim. Bringing a child to this world is a big responsibility, something we should do when we're totally ready and we truly want to. Not just because "everybody" has children or because society makes mandatory. Excellent topic to write about! This is a 7

I like what you are saying and the way in which you said it , Tim. I was gonna do that title and make a joke out of it but ended up doing last call instead!
