[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you need to consider what his conservative values are beyond who he votes for.

Will he expect you to change your name when you marry? Would he support you terminating an unwanted or unviable pregnancy? Would he treat your daughters the same as your sons? Would he contribute equally in the home? [/quote]

I have a very conservative husband and I still have my name after 20+ years of marriage[b], he was very supporting during my abortion,[/b] he treats our daughters very well (they are apple in his eyes), and he contribute 80% toward all house work (I don't cook and I don't clean). [/quote]
Then your DH is no longer really a conservative.  He's what MAGA would call a RINO.[/quote]

Nope, he even voted for Trump. You will be surprise how many republicans are not against abortion. I would suggest you go out and meet people instead of listening what media tells you about Republicans. [/quote]

But he will continue to vote for anti-abortion politicians because MAGA! right?

I know what Rs are like. I used to be one and was surrounded by them.  MAGA care more about things like taxes and border walls and sticking it to the libs, not about women's rights.  The conservatives I know who couldn't stand Trump left the R party.

You really think your DH would be supportive of his wife being a progressive and working on gender equality issues? LOL.  You are the one confused about what it means to be conservative.[/quote]

I worked through the entire marriage and he was always supportive and supported me through the grad school. I don't work on gender equality issues and I am not progressive. But my husband was always the one to take kids to practice, doctor appointments, to cook for them and to clean when we did not have maid. He is very supportive of our daughters who both chose very male dominated careers for themselves. [/quote]
that's nice, but why does he vote for politicians who want to take your DD's right to control her own body?[/quote]

Do you believe that politicians have to run your life?

Politicians should stay out of my medical decisions. Your husband disagrees. [/quote]

Ughh…this drives me crazy.  I am married to a conservative, and am largely apolitical.  Talking points like this one are the cause of most of our arguments.  You don’t actually believe that the government should stay out of your medical decisions.  Or maybe you do, but that isn’t actually what you are talking about here.  You are talking about this one very tiny part of medical care.

Let’s say that DH was liberal and not conservative, and came home with this talking point.  This might be our conversation:

DH:  “Do you think the government should be involved in people’s medical decisions?”  
Me (knowing nothing except that he tends to have a liberal point of view): “Yes!  The government should mandate vaccines and expand medical coverage.”  
DH:  “No, no.  Do you think if a patient and their doctor agree on medical care that the state should be able to step in and say it’s illegal?”
Me:  “Well, I don’t know.  We have kind of talked about how horrible some of the pain clinics were and it’s good that they were busted by the government.  And how awful some of the practices with praying the gay away were terrible, and we are glad they were outlawed in several states.”  
DH (kind of angry now):  “No.  I mean if the care is declared standard of practice by the medical board and it’s what the patient and the doctor both agree on, should the state be allowed to stop it?”
Me:  “You mean like the new guidelines about prescribing phentermine to overweight children?” 
DH:  pissed
Me:  still baffled

Huh?

Pregnancy is not a highly contagious disease.   Educate yourself about human reproduction.

Praying the gay away is fraud.  You can't just make up fake claims about treatments and present them as legitimate medical treatments.[/quote]
