The role of the father, in this day and age, has been downgraded to sperm donor and child support check writer. A woman seeking abortion could care less about a father's right as a parent when she desires to snuff out the life of the child in an abortionist's laboratory of death, but suddenly finds the importance of the father unequaled when it comes time for support - otherwise, he is a dead-beat dad.
A father with a little bit of sense and decency loves and care for his children no different than does the mother, and of course the best scenario for a child is to be parented by a man and a woman, preferably both being the birth parents.
In the case of divorce, or single parenthood, more often than not the mother gets a more than fair shake in court, and the father is often relegated to "that guy that sees his kid occasionally, and writes child support checks." Many of the men deserve that designation, and if they are truly dead-beat dads, or violent individuals, deserves to lose custody of their children. But many of these men are loving parents that want nothing more than to be the best father to their children that they can be.
Maverics star, Dirk Nowitzki, sees himself as a loving father, and one that can be a better parent than the mother of his child. As a result, Nowitzki filed court papers last week to seek sole custody of his unborn child.
The mother of the unborn baby is Crystal Taylor. She is currently an inmate in the Jefferson County Texas jail after being arrested last month for violating her probation and alleged theft. Nowitzki was not aware of Taylor's shady past until after this arrest, and being informed by police of her history. Her lengthy police record includes multiple aliases and a previous relationship with former NFL quarterback Tony Banks.
The pregnancy was not known until after her arrest, and rather than have the child aborted, or raised by a mother that is obviously unfit to fulfill her duties as a mother of the child, Nowitski desires to gain custody of the child now, and after the child is born, to raise the child on his own.
Imagine the implications of the outcome of this case. If he is granted custody of the child while the baby remains unborn, that gives the unborn child the designation of personhood. If the unborn child is a person whose fate of custody can be determined by a court, that would in turn make all unborn babies "people." If unborn children are in fact "people," as would be implied by Nowitzki winning the case, that would make all abortions, in turn, cold blooded murder of viable human beings.
As a pro-life individual, I believe life begins at conception. As an originalist when it comes to the United States Constitution, I believe Roe v. Wade was unconstitutional in the first place. After all, Roe v. Wade overturned a state law, made law from the bench, and enabled the federal government to dictate to people their position regarding the issue of abortion, which is clearly a state issue, and the federal government has no business making law regarding abortion, as a result.
If you think about it, however, the biggest question regarding the abortion issue is when life begins. if the court handles Nowitzki's case of a father taking steps to make sure his baby has his father in his life even before birth, that prescribes that the child has personhood during its time in the womb, which will shake up the abortion issue in ways the baby killers of the Left do not desire.
Nowitzki is due our prayers on this Father's Day, for he is embarking on a fight that may become a turning point in the battle for father's rights in this country where society does its best to eliminate the family unit, and relegate fathers to a minor role, and a child support check signer.
There are millions of children without their fathers on this Father's Day. Fathers are an important part of a child's life, and Nowitzki is a great example that there are fathers out there that desire to be involved dads.
