(11,803 posts)I was raised/schooled catholic. I must have been in 3rd or 4th grade when the brainwashing began. I remember coming home just horrified, "they're killing babies!" "That's not entirely true, and you are to young to understand the conversation", she said. Little Ole me just went, "oh, ok". I mean, if Mom isn't freaked out about it, why should i be? And then the little baby feet pin we were given at school was put in a drawer never to be seen again.
For the record, it didn't necessarily change my opinion at the time, but her words kept their words from solidifying into part of me personality and belief system. I was able to mature and actually think about the issue and form my own opinion. I guess you could say she put the brakes on my indoctrination.
As far as standing by a woman's choice in the future? Always have, always will.
