1993 Reprint: Delivering Baby

Dear Editor,

In the Ann Landers column which the Daily News ran on November 1, there appeared numerous reader letters on the subject of husbands being present for the birth of their children. Here are two quotes from that column:

"I've never met a man who was not delighted to be present for the conception. That being the case, I would damn well insist that he stick around for the result."

"Grow up, mister...The least you can do is be there when she delivers your child." I heartily agree with these comments. Furthermore, I suggest that these women speak up with equal fervor against abortion rights feminists who say that a man has no business concerning himself with the resolution of a woman's pregnancy.

He's needed for the conception. He's wanted for the birth. So "I would damn well insist" that his views on the fate of the child carry equal weight.
