On your website you say ‘if someone loses nobody wins’. Do you have a solution for issues such as abortion where one side believes it’s a woman’s right to choose whereas the other side believes it’s murder and are polarized to an extreme degree? How do you find a solution where any concession is seen as a loss for both sides?

I am reminded of an actual situation recently where I was invited to attend a meeting with two women, one representing a pro-life group; and the other, a pro-choice organization. I asked both women, “If you, as a woman had to choose between pro-life/pro-choice or respect for all women where the question of abortion wouldn’t exist, which would you choose? Both answered, “Respect for women of course.”

Then I turned to both of them and said, “Since you both agree, there is no argument. If woman were respected, abortion would not exist. So let’s work in unity to make ‘Respect’ a reality for all women.”

So often the ‘abortion issue’ pits woman against woman in the ‘supposed’ battle of ‘rights and freedoms’. Women fighting women! But where are the men in all this? It’s time we men took responsibility for our behavior. Respecting our mothers, daughters, sisters, ‘all the little girls’ of the world. If we, as men could do this, would there be any talk of ‘abortion’? NO!

What is ‘respect for women’? it is recognizing the ‘motherly’ in all women as givers of life, sustainers of the human race. When woman is seen this way there will be unity and a ‘win-win’ situation for all.
