On the contrary, she is family oriented and wants to marry and have children one day. So we are primarily considering lifestyle, culture, and economy rather than focusing on abortion availability. [/quote]
You understand that anything can happen during a pregnancy such that it becomes a danger to her health, right?  [/quote]

Yes. And I also understand that Florida allows for abortions in situations that endanger the life of mom or baby.

And also, you have to consider your personal situation when you make choices.  Not only your financial circumstances, but also your goals and moral stances. We are more interested in birth than abortion. I wouldn't interfere with my daughter getting an abortion, but I don't consider abortion to be a foremost consideration, and in fact, I would be much more open to buying my daughter a house and hiring a nanny for her vs encouraging abortion.

Furthermore, I find it odd that blue states are so incredibly fixated on ensuring that young women are able to abort under any circumstances, and are less focused on promoting values and lifestyles that tend to lead to happiness. I want my kid to be happy. Statistically, she's more likely to be happy as a married mom with conservative values. Yes, there are downsides to red states, and to Florida, but looking at the totality of circumstances, she's better off there than in a blue state.

Here's my citations:

Well stated.  And, bonus points for the citations. 
But, your well reasoned and well expressed post will not stop people here from calling you "forced birther" or even imply you are racist.  It has already happened.  It is who they are.  
I agree with everything you said.  I have two kids.  One lives in FL and loves it.  And, we love visiting the family when we can. 
Isn't it crazy that most any discussion on this board somehow always turns into a discussion about abortion?  It is like an obsession with people here.  And, the ironic thing is the most - if not all of them - live in states or in DC where there are no limits on abortion.  [/quote]

The difference between conservatives and liberals is that liberals care about other people. So there are states that are greatly impinging on women and girls' rights to bodily autonomy, and that means we liberals in other states actually care about what happens to those girls and women. Unlike conservatives whose thinking is more along the lines of "I've got mine, too bad for you."
