I have often heard the expression “unconditional love” when it comes to the love of a grandparent for a grandchild. With many grandparents, I have seen those words in action.
That’s why it is disturbing to think of the comments our current president made during his first presidential campaign.
He admitted he would not have unconditional love for a grandchild. In fact, the president would interpret the life of a potential grandchild as possibly a “mistake” and “punishment.”
Since he was often cared for by grandparents, one would think he would have a great respect for the position. One would think that as the president of the United States, he would have great respect for all the citizens of the nation, especially those citizens in the womb who are the very future.
One would think, wouldn’t one?
