We were good friends years ago, have since kinda parted ways. But he is staunchly Republican and staunchly Pro Life. Like he's the type thats never voted for a Dem at any level of office in his life. I remember him
finally coming to our group of friends and having to admit and get it off his chest that he got a girl pregnant and then paid for her to get an abortion. He felt terrible about it, but it was too late at that point. So yes, its easy to say you're against abortion. But how do you react in the moment?
