One of the more baffling lines of thinking that emerged in our election was that parents were voting for the rights of their daughters to have abortions. Yard signs that read “Vote Like Your Daughter’s Rights Depend On It” checkered neighborhoods, including mine.

As the father of three daughters myself, it is more than a little bizarre — and grotesque — to think I would vote for the rights of my daughters to abort my future grandchildren. Grandchildren are a heritage, not an inconvenience or impediment to America’s daughters.
