Reply #28: The gun issue is very important to her... [View All]

She once deterred an intruder breaking into our home with a handgun.

But as you say, she doesn't see Obama as a big threat to gun ownership.

The surprising thing about my daughters opinion is that she could have decided to get an abortion on two occasions. She had broken up with her boyfriend and discovered she was pregnant (yes, she was using birth control pills). She decided to marry the ex-boyfriend and raise the child. During her pregnancy she was diagnosed with eclampsia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclampsia and spent a considerable amount of time in intensive care waiting until the doctors were sure the baby was developed enough to induce labor. She survived and so did the baby.

The doctors recommended that she wait 5 years before becoming pregnant again. Her husband overcame the birth control pills for the second time and she was pregnant again within one year. The second baby was delivered but almost died because the umbilical cord was wrapped around his chest twice.

Now I have two wonderful grandchildren to enjoy. She is also very glad she didn't exercise her legal right to abort. The fertile but otherwise useless boyfriend is now history. She divorced and found a much better man to marry and they have one of the best martial relationships I've ever observed.

Recent research shows that birth control pills can cause women to make bad decisions in their relationships. When she met her current husband, she was not on birth control pills as she had had her tubes tied.
