So I get an email from this website called parenting connect or something like that I forgot anyways it's suppose to be a parent support website you know like tips on how to do stuff for and with you kids like potty training, talking, etc and of course you can talk to other parents and make friends, but I only use it for the tips. Well I was reading these tips on how to potty train a boy when I came across this poll question that asked:
Are you inspired by the Obamas' parenting style?
First Lady Michelle Obama has been getting a lot of attention for her firm-but-loving parenting style. She insists that her girls will continue to make their own beds and clean their rooms at the White House.
Of course I answered yes because I am she is a VIRTUOUS WOMAN, the type of woman I would like to be and aspire to be. Well anyways at the end of the post a fellow member posted this comment:
I can't say that I admire the Obama's as parents at all because of their support of abortion. How can anyone who supports killing children and using our tax dollars to do so be a good parent? Good parenting starts at conception, not at birth.
I think that she was very one sided to say that because rather she supports abortion or not that does not make her a good or bad parent. It's rather or not she teaches her children the social norms that those before us have created and follow. Abortion is a option that is touchy for everyone all over the world although she supports it, she's not standing up and saying I don't think we should have kids we should kill them all, if that was case she wouldn't have two of her own. She is simply saying that she supports options for those mothers who maybe got raped (by a stranger, violent husband, friend) and got pregnant, or even those young mothers that everyone complains about that's on welfare because they are paying for it but talk about them because they are young mothers. Abortion gives options, options that people are allowed to have here in America, to say that you don't support her opinion is fine but I doesn't make her a bad parent look at her daughters do they look the product of a bad parent. I think not. :)
To sum it up I just wanted to share this with whoever reads it. It's so said that people view one another one way and than expect to viewed the same way. What if I told that fellow member that she a bad parent because she has 3 children and she can't afford to buy them the finer things in life. Am I right? No she is just a mother who loves children and wanted as many she wanted or maybe she didn't have the option to have an abortion. What the case maybe it's not right to say that she is a bad parent. There is no handbook on parenting we all learn as we go some more than others and with that god grants us mistakes and allows us to redeem ourselves rather your for abortion or not.
