First of all, you made a lot of presumptions in your posts. For example, you said, "It sounds as though some who speak of abortions being butchery would actually go to this extreme" - the extreme being that a pro-lifer would disown their daughter for having an abortion. All that tells me is that you know nothing about the character of most people who are pro-life. In general they are not just pro-life, they are pro-human, pro-family - you don't just throw a life away whether it is growing inside of you or it's your 16 or 20 year old daughter who decides to do something that you feel may not be in their best interest.

Second, my question to you was - "And you think having an abortion is something you just get over?" - which was in response to your statement about a minor taking her parents to court over having an abortion and how that would be something from which one could never heal. Do you not realize the torment many women, very young and older, have gone through after an abortion? Talk about carrying something with you for a lifetime and a difficult healing process!

So no, I would not force my daughter to do anything, but I would in love and concern, talk to her about all options available to her so that she at least has a chance not to live with a lifetime of regret.

And finally, I'll address your name calling in the above post. I am hardly a Neanderthal. In fact, I'm probably younger than most people on this forum and to boot, I'm a woman! A conservative, pro-life woman and proud of it!
