Lord....see my profile page. I was a bona fide lefty.
But....I was always suspicious of social engineering. Having been raised in a pro-civil rights family(at ground zero where such views had real consequences) I had already seen how that once noble cause had already been hijacked by the mid 70s for quotas and vicitmization and the demonization of the so called opressor.
I would say my views on abortion have been the benchmark of my conversion from lefty to moderate to "fire breather".
From the many posts I review almost daily here I would surmise that most so called conservatives are social moderates...either thru conviction or pragmatism.
Maybe I'm just older than most here...45.
I agree, parenting really changes one's perspectives....hopefully.

I agree, parenting really changes one's perspectives....hopefully.And having the good fortune of joining a conservative church in early parenthood as opposed to a religious-left one. Thankfully, conservative churches are actively meeting the spiritual needs of young adults and we're all better for it.
