Conversation yesterday between my two millennial daughters, one age 27 an one age 21. Daughter #2 [to Daughter #1]: Are you registered to vote? Daughter #1: Yes. Daughter #2: Who are you voting for? Republican or Democrat? Daughter #1: Well, I checked and it says I am unaffiliated. Daughter #2: What does that mean? Daughter #1: I means I am not registered to vote for either party. Daughter #2: Who did you vote for last time? Daughter #1: Well, I voted for Trump. I mean, I don't really care for him, but I didn't want to vote for Hillary Clinton. Besides, she is for late-term abortions, meaning you can have an abortion up to nine months in the womb. THAT IS A BABY! Daughter #2 [Grimacing and looking at me, who has been silent and letting the two girls talk]: Is that true, Mom? Me: Yes. It is true. Daughter #2: How do I get registered so I can vote because that is totally wrong! For me, and now my two daughters, this has been our KEY deciding factor. Late-term abortions. My youngest child was born 7 weeks early and weighed a whopping 3 lbs, 15 oz. Imagine my horror if my doctor had said, in the birthing room, "Do you want to abort her?" The first picture is of me with her in the hospital. Because she was born early, she had not yet developed the capacity to nurse and had to be fed formula intravenously. The second picture is her graduation picture. She is currently studying social work and wants to work with foster families. Imagine if I had aborted her. She would never have been given the chance to make the world a better place!
