I have a very conservative husband and I still have my name after 20+ years of marriage, he was very supporting during my abortion, 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).

Then your DH is no longer really a conservative. He's what MAGA would call a RINO.


I don't like name calling, but a lot of conservatives had abortions. What they oppose is use of public funds for performing abortions.

then why do they support politicians who have backed over turning abortion in the red states?

And yes, a lot of conservatives have abortions but still vote for politicians who support anti-abortion laws. Such people would go to a blue state to get an abortion if they had to, but will continue supporting anti-abortion politicians.

What's the word.. hypocrites? No, I know, let's call them..."people who secretly are thankful to Dems for supporting abortion in their states but publicly deny being thankful to Dems". That's called two-faced, I think.

Conservatives only want abortion when it suits them and run to blue states to get them, but don't want to support women's rights.

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.


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.

What was he up to 1/6/21?

Does he make fun of people who drive EVs?

Is he someone who feels straight white men are misunderstood victims?


What was he up to 1/6/21? - We watched news on TV all day.

Does he make fun of people who drive EVs? - Nothing that I am aware of. Our oldest child drives Tesla, I've never heard him making fun of it. He drove it occasionally.

Is he someone who feels straight white men are misunderstood victims? -No, he never felt that way. He is very confident. I don't know why are you assuming that we are white.

NP my conservative H was a former Capitol police officer so he sad watching in utter disbelief that the bathroom guard had not been called.

He watch BLM protests and explained laws to my children describing every crime police were committing.

He drives a hybrid.

Conservative values believe everybody deserves dignity. Even white males.

Conservative here. Wrong. My mom was a doctor and my wife is a lawyer. I respect their work.


If you try to raise a daughter with a progressive partner, what do you do about your pro choice partner teaching your daughter to fight for pro choice values? There is no middle ground on this issue. You either belive you forced birther view must be imposed on everyone including your children, or you believe in choice.


DP. You're assuming, PP, that "conservative" = "forced birther anti-abortion stance." Not always true. The forced birthers shout the loudest but there are conservatives out there who are pro-choice and pro-privacy. Don't assume everyone is the same everywhere.


This is magical thinking. The GOP is directly responsible for our daughters reproductive rights being terminated.


Yes. And you are once again making an assumption that every "conservative" supports the GOP or supports an end to abortion. You missed the idea that there are still some conservatives, even some who still call themselves Republicans, who abhor the GOP of today and what it's doing. Making broad-brush assumptions is a great way to annihilate any shots at getting those conservatives to work with liberals on fighting for abortion access.


+1 I am conservative but very pro-choice

What makes him “very conservative”? Sounds like he is just acting in his own self-interest in his personal life.


Great question since nobody seems to understand conservative values.

Individual Freedom- this is why true conservatives support abortion. Anybody who doesn’t is supporting a theocracy.

Limited government: Though that does not mean allowing capitalism to the point of monopolies, supporting environmental protections like most farmer do but not to the point you are forcing everyone to be vegan because cows fart.

Free market: but not monopolies - no bankers should have ever been paid out under Obama

Fiscal responsibility: both trump and Obama sucked at this

Strong defense: not waging silly wars for monetary reasons


Moderate Dems believe similarly to above. Biden just expanded the military budget.

Since when did "true" conservatives support abortion?

BTW, Bush also bailed out banks.

You are so confused.


70% of conservative supported abortion pre -Regan.

Regan signed the 1st pro choice bill in CA.

Regan’s political advisors said he needed the evangelical vote to win the election and they made up some BS about abortion being murder and the rest is history.

I’m not confused about Bush, I just c a Ny name every corrupt banking action in the past 50 years.


What corrupt banking action did Bush take?

Taxes are way way too high. And I am a democrat. We might win elections if we stopped raising taxes. -- Do not fool yourself that Biden won. Trump lost. Barely.

At this point in time all conservatives are traitors to the US.
There are no two sides here Democracy=US
it does not equal Russia and supporting the current Republican party.



I know you are trying to be over the top but this is just nonsense. All of our values align. All of us. We have small -- very small differences. Left hated W foreign policy --- Obama continued it just said nicer things. Immigration -- hate Trump - he is an idiot but Biden immigration policies are headed in the same direction with nicer words. The political process will sort our abortion and most of our others issues. It is just odd that you would not date half the country.

I think the problem here is that our language for classifying people has broken down.

Twenty years ago, you would have been a Bob Dole Republican, or maybe a Blue Dog Democrat.

Now, you're either a troubled Joe Manchin Democrat or a Larry Hogan Republican who's been shafted by the Republicans. Or (based on the "not waging silly wars") a well-meaning Larry Hogan Republican who's somehow been led down a bad path by Putin's trolls.
