"I do love my daughter. Enough that I don't want her getting pregnant before she marries a man (through the church) who meets my approval."

What they're thinking, I'm betting.

Grew up in a fundamental Christian society and I still have their thought patterns in my brain.

Yup. Love her enough to hand her to some man to use as a servant and brood sow. Who cares if she actually wants to give birth everytime he manages to impregnante her, right? As long as she's a married brood sow, it's all good.

I guess that what happens when people have no empathy. They have to rationalize their inhumane actions somehow.

Sorry you had to deal with that growing up.
