I think that is a big part of it. What do the generations BB's produced feel they have to support. BB's are directly responsible for the state of affairs we live in today. I mean the cultural climate. I am 30 something and my brothers are 20 something. Our parents still use us to fight between them. I nearly passed out after my nasty father said something so horrendous recently. Self-centered, egotistical jerk and I know plenty of others my age who feel the same thing. and for those who think we just hate our elders. Rubbish. I loved my grandparents, all 4 of them. They were wonderful folks who I admired greatly. They had a great devotion to their families that somehow their children did not. I really idolize my now deceased grandparents. I don't see anything in my parents character that even compares.

Yes I had exactly the same experience... my grandparents were loving, caring, traditional parents who held the care of their children to be their top priority. The spirit of the boomers was the explicit rejection of everything that makes for a happy healthy family - and their children (us) paid a staggering price for it.

But we remember our grandparents, and the way they expressed the love they truly felt for their families. I for one have sworn that I will not bring a child into the world until I am prepared to do as they did. (And I will certainly not bring a child into the world just to kill it off in the womb!)

I think what the boomers don't get about abortion is that it is the ultimate expression of how they view all other human beings - as objects to manipulate or destroy at their pleasure. And that only scratches the surface of the culture of child abuse that is now epidemic - miseducation, drugging active children into submission, the sexualization of children, ignoring the magnitude and seriousness of molestation, and on and on.
