She's generally pretty conservative, but this is the one issue where there is absolutely no negotiation. My mom doesn't support gay rights (but we're working on it!), but choice is something she feels very strongly about, and that makes me happy. There are too many smart, educated women that are bullied by their religion or society at large to vote/fight against their own interest. how disgusting. i ♥ this blog. i read it daily. keep up the good work.

I'd love to hear about whether or not she gets involved in the campaign. Keep up the good work. AJ, I’m glad that you and your mom were able to have a dialogue about the Montana personhood bill.

Mine is totally in the middle of the road. She supports a woman's choice, but she also considers herself personally pro-life. And on a side note, she's totally a feminist too, just scared of the labels. And your advice is very helpful. in fact, I called my mother this morning after reading the article - and I sparked a very constructive conversation with her about the personhood legislation in Montana (thats where my parents live). It turned out great, and I have a feeling she plans on getting involved in some way or the other. What really got her on board about hating this specific legislation: how it affects pregnant women in general. I used that as a springboard for discussing the way it impacts all women's lives - and my mother was really sold. Excluding the ardent mormon part, you and I pretty much have the same mother.
