Many years ago a pro-abortion
push-poller called my parents' house, and Dad answered the phone. Having consented to be polled, Dad found himself badgered for 10 minutes by a pollster determined to get him to say something that could be construed as pro-"choice". This the pollster failed to do, as any of Dad's kids could have predicted to her, since trying to push our father off of his principles was like trying to push a mountain into the sea. Finally the woman got sarcastic with my Dad and snapped "Well, if it was your daughter in that position you'd feel differently."
With perfect cool courtesy Dad replied "It was my daughter in that position. My grandson is playing in my living room as I'm talking to you."
Happy Father's Day. Rest in peace, Dad. We love you and miss you, but thanks for leaving us so many memories and having been such an exemplar.
