Please comment. I need as much advice that I can get. I don’t know how to react? So today abortion became legal in the country I am living in. My mom is pro-life and my dad is pro-choice. I am pro-life because of religion and also because my moms morals influence mine more. So today my parents we’re discussing the results of the referendum and I overheard a conversation I shouldn’t have. My dad said your child( who is pro life) is only alive because of abortion. He said if the child before me was never aborted I would not be alive. (My parents are not from the country we are living in now. Abortion is legal there.) Meaning not much time elapsed after abortion before she became pregnant again (with me). This was a shocking revelation. My mom is a hypocrite she has been shoving these pro life morals up my face this whole time when she’s had an abortion. Now many of the things she’s been saying over the years make sense. ” I’m glad I never aborted xx” Meaning I was also meant to be aborted. If the first abortion never happened I would not be alive and I’m pro life. I don’t know what to think anymore. Am I right to be angry and upset? I don’t know what to feel. They don’t know I heard this conversation. Btw I’m only 15

Abortion is muder period
You do have a right to be upset. Never let others guide what you believe. I did this and regretted it. My mom told me growing up that you will go to hell if you have sex before marriage and I truly believed it. I don’t anymore and now, I look back with regret at all the opportunities I missed (not that I would have acted on all of them, lol). But the result is I’m almost 30 and still a virgin. Decide for yourself what to believe in, but just be smart about it.
She might have turned pro-life precisely due to the mental and physical struggles she went through, because of her abortion. Don’t rush into judgements. Talk to her about it, if it bothers you. And use your reason to make up your own mind. You have a right of your own beliefs and they can be different from those of your parents.
