Put more generally: having responsibility makes one more conservative.

Having abortions makes one a murderer, too. So naturally, one sides with criminals.

“Having Children May Make You More Conservative, Study Finds”

If it doesn’t, then you don’t give a crap about your kids.

Don11’t you mean, Pope isn’t Catholic? The idea that the current Pope is Catholic would, in fact, be news.

Having and accepting responsibility makes you more conservative.

Who wants their kids to have to live in as slaves/prisoners in a totalitarian Hell-hole?

There is actually some debate on that.

Gee. I hope they didn’t pay someone to perform that study.

(That is the third time I have posted nearly those exact words in the last three days!)

I’m working on a case right now where the stepdaughter embezzled $400 to $500 thousand from her stepfather’s business. She feels no shame or guilt and is still working in his office.

He is going to potentially lose everything and still can’t teach her consequences of her actions.

From the article

“She also noted the study did not find that parents are more economically conservative. “We find that parents do change their economic preferences and are more in favour of government spending,” she said of her own research, although she noted their support of services like daycare only lasted while they were making use of them.”

Another study that reveals what everyone already knows.

Notice the study addresses “socially conservative” not fiscally conservative.

“they found that people who were more motivated to care for children tended to be more socially conservative.”

Yes, it just might (possibly).
HOWEVER, this conclusion can be turned 180 degrees when
these children attend public, liberal schools, indoctrunated
and immursed in liberal teachings only to return home and to turn parents into liberal zombie clowns -producing an entire
family of the same non-thinking, order taking, foot soldiers.

That theory doesn’t hold for the liberals I knew. The liberal mindset is deeply ingrained.

There may be some cases where liberals are forced to deal with reality (due to life altering circumstances) but for the most part they are highly resistant to changing their views.
