Hey, their guild has it. wink
Could you date a pro-lifer, at all?
My boyfriend and I will celebrate two years in February. He is pro-choice, and that makes me happy. It makes me feel secure to know that he would value me more than a fetus if it came down to dropping out of school, being homeless, etc. In fact, it makes me feel great to know that I am valued more than the content of my uterus by my boyfriend.
I do not think I could date a pro-lifer. I have respect for them (especially when they are truly pro-life, not anti-abortion), but I could not date someone who has fundamentally different beliefs than me. Not just for abortion, but for things like gay-rights, feminism, pacifism, and working for a better tomorrow for people in impoverished nations. These are all things I feel strongly about, and not only does my boyfriend agree with me on them, but he is also very supportive of my views of working towards them in the future.
How about you?

No way. It would mean if I ever wanted an abortion, I'd either have to live with the secret and possibility of them finding out, or deal with them potentially breaking up with me, or them trying to guilt me into making a different choice. As with most women, I would have a damn good reason for wanting an abortion, so people trying to dissuade me would just be off-putting. I'm aware that's the point, but at the same time, when making ANY difficult decision it's nice to only be surrounded by support. For example, when I broke up with my long-term boyfriend a few months ago, people were supportive. If they'd been negative or told me I was an idiot, I a) might not have done it, against my better judgement or b) done it and felt terrible about it, despite knowing it was for the best.
