“Your daughter’s 14, huh?” asked the guy at the wedding reception. “I guess you’re heading for the Grandma Danger Zone.” I wasn’t offended exactly (it was a party, after all, and most of us were drunk and speaking freely), but I was a bit surprised by the casualness with which a relative stranger commented on my child’s theoretical sexual activity. Trying to move the conversation along, I chuckled politely and replied, “Well, if she did get pregnant now, I would help her get an abortion, so that won’t be an issue.” There was a long silence as this man and the other people in the conversation looked at me in shock. He’d made a lighthearted comment about my daughter’s potential teen pregnancy, and I’d responded in kind with a lighthearted comment about my daughter’s legal right to exercise her reproductive agency. Why did his comment garner laughs and knowing glances while mine elicited a full-on record scratch? Mercifully, someone changed the subject, and I was left with knowing that I, and not this man, had said something terribly wrong.

That cartoon is a keeper.
So, so sick! These are the women who end up old and alone.
! Says it all!
Charming conversations the elites have.
I’m no genius, but the last time I was at a party, drinking, my friends and I were discussing Eugene O’Neill’s plays. But then I’m no elite...
The author actually surfaces an important point that I don’t think gets sufficient attention: “good” families even very liberal ones do not condone abortion for their own daughters. They know what it is, but won’t admit it publicly.
Congratulations. I wish you all the joys a baby can bring.
“legal right to exercise her reproductive agency.”
“Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter, the uproarious laughter between the two”
Liberal women are dangerous and insane. Not that the men aren’t.
I guess that’s cheaper than helping to raise your grandchild. Think of all the baby clothes and birthdays and schooling, and recitals and school plays you don’t have to deal with anymore. Grandchildren can be such a pain.
Supporting that point, recall the guy who didn’t want his daughter “... punished with a baby”.
As long as they’re going to throw softballs...
Answer: Because we hope we’ve raised our daughters well enough that:
1. They’ll never “need” to get one
2. If they do make a “mistake”, they’ll accept and deal with the consequences of that mistake, as a responsible and decent human being.
I don't know what our little guy was thinking, but he woke up, looked me over from head to toe, cooed and went back to sleep. For grandpa, it was love at first sight and brought back fond memories of our children's births.
Yeah, his arrival timing was inconvenient and challenging. For that matter, so was that of his mother.
But never once did my daughter's parents or my grandson's even think of dismembering them in the womb and waiting for perhaps a more convenient time.
We are what is normal and this woman (if you can call her that) is what the Apostle Paul called "without natural affection."
Yes, the college graduation was nice . . . but the new grandson was 1000 times better.
Why Won’t Parents Talk About Helping Their Daughters Get Abortions?

Why won’t parents talk about helping their sons get laid for the first time?
There...I just helped Slate come up with a new title for a riveting provocative, and profound article.
“I think I would just have ignored it.”
You have more control over your mouth than I do. I’d probably have called her a murdering c*nt.
how's that work for STDs?
how's that work for her emotional baggage?
Very twisted woman.
“the number of those who support abortion drops to 29 percent when people are asked if they think it should be legal under any circumstances.”
That is interesting. I think many that “support abortion” likely don’t inside their heart and are going through the motions because it is a dim thing... Which is really sad, who would go along with something they did not believe in, some that is actually horrific- if they didn’t actually believe in it?
Because you just said you’d help her kill your own grandchild.
Perhaps , the best direction is to have already performed duties of a Grand Parent and nurtured the Grandchild in
The Fear and Admonition Of The LORD God . So as to enlighten the youth about Virtue, Righteousness, and The Grace of Jesus
The deliberate “option” of murder is not part of any plan.
Whom ever wrote this original post is totally without any
Spiritual Foundation. and spreading such horror here on
Free Republic is the work of a
radical leftist socialist scum bag
Why stop there?
Permit women to kill their husbands instead of seeking a divorce.
I cannot even imagine ever talking about killing a baby in casual conversation! They have such a perverse view of life.
