Okay thinking of the most abortion related topics that come up in my life the most frustrating things that come to mind is my mother. Don't get me wrong I love my mother, but my god.... if she brings up abortion one more time... sigh. Explaination: My mother is probably the most liberal republican I've ever met. Most social issues(save for non-denomination private prayer in school) she is liberal on, especially abortion. Shes the type that believes girls should be able to get abortions without parental consent and that they should be legal on demand(although she states that she would never have one herself). Every time a tv show or an article about abortion comes up she always finds a way to make fun of or blast the pro-life side. For example, "How can you call yourself pro-life if you kill someone" when refering to the pro-death penalty pro-life connection. I find it so frustrating and she does it knowing fully well that I'm pro-life, ughh. Discuss, Have you ever had a similar situation? What did you/would you do? Pro-choice people feeling that thier views are superior to everyone elses.

Well... she's obviously trying to spark a debate with you, I think, so she can convince you to be Pro-choice. If you ever go along with it and stand up for your Pro-life stance in front of her, be ready to debate about it and tell her facts. whee But keep polite, maybe. I... think this is good advice, but I don't know for sure...

My dad it a conservativ eon most things. But when its comes to these things, or church andstate, he's liberal.
I've tried debatign with him, I've tried showing him the facts. But he has this complex, he hates being wrong, and he thinks I'm rubbing it in his face. One of these days though, when I'm out, I'm gogin to sit him down on the front porch with a beer or a glass of wine and a good cigar and have a nice freindly discussion of how he supports the death of innocence and how the government was never meant to be able to tell any riligion what it could or could not do in regards with the state, other then saying "This is the riligion you will follow, all other are prohibited."

Lorysa Well... she's obviously trying to spark a debate with you, I think, so she can convince you to be Pro-choice.

I... think this is good advice, but I don't know for sure... Oh believe me I've had several debates. But its very intimidating telling her that she's wrong. I think that it falls in line with the liberal philosiphy that they are right and that people have to be educated to think there way. (Sounds like communism to me)Oh and for all the liberals out there I'm not talking about if you have liberal beliefs, I'm more talking about the attitude that many have to go with it.

She's your mother. It's hard to say to your mother, "You're wrong!" Family is annoying sometimes. My family is mostly pro-choice, and remind me of it everytime. They have no idea I'm pro-life because at 100 and 101 respectively, I want my grandparents to spend their last years in a peaceful family, not one that's torn apart by conflict. Broorel's mom is DEFINITELY pro-choice. But there's this thing about parents. They may not always agree with you, but it's hard enough to get along with them (usually) without bringing politics in. Papa actually provokes people into discussing politics just to get them aggrivated, so I stopped responding. Maybe if you don't respond to your mom, she'll stop? I dunno. It sounds like she's goading you on, since she knows you're pro-life and still makes fun of them. You could always respond with, "How can you call yourself pro-choice if you don't support rape?" But I'd never get away with saying something like that to my mother in a disrespectful way. I would in a respectful way though.

Well Dylan doesn't want me talking about it at all when I'm visiting him because apparently his mother is really pro-choice. But in my family I've never had that happen. Pretty much my entire family is pro-life, including my agnostic father.

My parents don't believe in abortions unless it's an emergancy (life or death). But I hate that law their trying to pass about teens getting abortions without parents consent. If I had a daughter I would like to know if anybody is going to preform any surgery on her. I would sue them if I could if they ever touched my kid without my consent. 1. their underage and parents are still responsable 2. it can be risky a if something went wrong and they don't know then their is no way they can help. 3. it's another excuse for kids to have sex and get of responablity which teaches them nothing but to lie and hide things behide their parents backs.

Karl I feel like that, too. It's almost as if I'm supposed to feel guilty, for being a little bit different than some of them, because my brother told me "Well, then you're Pro-choice." after I told him I think that I think abortion is justifiable in the case of death of the mother, which bothered me slightly.
Abortion hardly ever comes up in my house, though, because that's how bad it is considered here.

The only time it comes up is if I see something and tell my dad about (mostly laughing and some of stuff the pro-choicers say and how I respond back) and my mom would just tell me to stop arguing with them (she doesn't quiet get debates but I guess I could be alittle nicer if their nicer to me) but that hasn't happened in awhile. Somethings if I read an artical i'll tell them about it.
