To: Tell It Right
Shouldn’t we at least cut people some slack to take some time to process such big news and judge them by how they respond on a long term basis?

And on the long term basis he continued to tell his now married daughter that he is disappointed in her because she did not turn her child into mulch.

Maybe I misread the part of: "To be honest, I was very insistent on her having an abortion at that time, but when I saw that she remained determined, I dropped the issue and supported her fully, even though I didn't want to." That to me sounds like someone who got over the initial shock and came around. As Christians we shouldn't believe in forever condemnation of someone who has conviction and repents. So yeah, talk that person out of the wrong (conviction), but always with an attitude to change gears to encouragement when the wrong is no longer being done (repentance). Let the left be the cult of condemnation (cancel culture).
