- My apologies if I misquoted our position (Now am I EVER embarassed!). However,
- I know that while FREE does indeed exist for involvement with their kids, I had
- thought that they also advocate the right not to be forced into parenthood.
-
- (I guess that I ought to have read the policy files when I joined, eh?! :-) )
-
- I realise that this is not your personal position, but I had thought that the
- organisation as a whole, advocates not only involvement in parenthood, but the
- *choice* to freely become a father.
