[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm  a white upper middle class male who has always voted Democrat, and raised my 16 yo teenage daughter to have the same values.

She has said numerous things to indicate her political and personal sympathies lie with being Conservative.

Should I divorce my kid? Refuse to pay for her college?

Why are you equating parenting to marriage?  They are not the same.   [/quote]

My friend's daughter was like this through high school.

Then she went to college and did a hard left turn.

That is why conservatives fear education.

She volunteers regularly now in Democrat campaigns.

I’m happy for her. We’ll see how that serves her[/quote]

Well since she wants control over her own body and healthcare, it will
"serve" her well.[/quote]

I'm the OP. My daughter (16) says people shouldn't be having sex unless they're ready to have a baby. That's how a woman can have control over her body. (*These are her views, not her parent's.)[/quote]

That sounds perfectly reasonable![/quote]

For someone who is not having  sex, yes. Easy to say.

My friend's daughter also said this at 16. At 18 when she got her first real boyfriend, she changed her tune completely.[/quote]

Agreed, this is somewhat common. Once they have a boyfriend the hormones take over and ideas change.[/quote]

Yep. It's a sharp kick in the teeth to realize you have to worry about pregnancy when you are sexually active. It brings the picture into sharp focus every 28 days or so.[/quote]

If the education system is strong and people have good access to quality birth control, the worry about  pregnancy is entirely manageable and is not a "kick in the teeth".[/quote]
