When abortion is debated, it’s often framed only through the mother’s perspective. But this overlooks not only the child whose life is at stake, but also the father who has a vital role to play. That’s why news that Owensboro’s Care Net pregnancy center received nearly $10,000 for its fatherhood program is so important. Strong families need strong fathers, and too often their voices and responsibilities are ignored. Involved dads make a measurable difference in their children’s well-being—emotionally, academically, and socially. By equipping men to embrace fatherhood, we affirm that life is a shared responsibility, not a burden placed on mothers alone. Kentucky families are stronger when both parents are engaged in nurturing and protecting the next generation.
