+1. Abortion is murder. |
I know a lot of people who support abortion rights. Not many of those are championing the act of aborting. I don’t think you,or any one else for that matter, has the right to dictate without spending time walking in their shoes and living in their mind. When you and other anti abortion people adopt and CARE for everyone of “Gods Children” orphaned and living in complete and unparalleled misery, I don’t think you have a leg to stand on in this argument. |
And unless you yourself were aborted (how do you think that actually feels?), then your legs are even less sturdy than mine. |
I wouldn't give a crap because there wouldn't be a me to have feelings. I guess if I were going to ruin someone's life, be raised in misery, or had some sever genetic abnormality, *I* would feel spared. |
| Boyfriend's mom doesn't have freedom of speech? or association? |
| Would not remain in a relationship with him, unless he has literally zero relationship with his mother. |
Lest this devolve into another abortion thread, I will sign out, leaving with your key phrase in bold. Ciao. |
Neither OP nor anyone else is suggesting that the government censor the MIL, so the first amendment is totally irrelevant. |
I know it's commonly recommended on DCUM but this is really one of those things that a good relationship counselor can help you both work through. You really need to know where he stands on these issues if you're not on the same bandwagon as his mother. While I don't see an issue with him defying his family (except in certain circumstances), you two need to be on the same page if/when it comes time to have your own nuclear family. |
You can’t be serious. If you are dead you have no feeling. |
| I would be concerned. You could one day marry and have children with this man. What if your child was gay? How would you handle family gatherings when his family might speak openly about said beliefs? |
Whoever wrote this post, please tell me you live in the Northern Va area and we can be friends in real life?! There is such a lack of people with FACTUAL info out there. And please don't ever get me started on the hypocritical religious folks.

Newflash -- MIL would treat the gay grandchild with all the love in the world. Full stop. Probably better than the liberal uncle who secretly despises "homos." |
I am a 38 yo male living in MD. |
Maybe. There are some people who don’t realize homosexuals are people deserving of love and rights until they know one, but there are also conservatives who will disown and shame children who are “sinning” by being homosexual. There can also be a lot of damage done before a child comes out if Grandma is making constant nasty comments. |
