It's never failed to amaze me how a country that has the death penalty, and constitutionally promotes the right of its citizens to go around with firearms with the inevitable consequence that they will randomly shoot each other, often for no apparent reason.... And allows police officers to shoot black people without any cause for doing so other than that the person who ends up dead is (was) black..... where it is considered OK to shoot somebody if they try to steal your TV and this is not considered "excessive force"......
How can you get so cranky about abortion..?
Making a medical procedure legally available so that women won't have to go to butchers who operate in back streets, often without qualification or even use clean instruments. You quibble about legislation that ensures the patient will get good pre-op advice, a clean and efficient procedure and decent post-op aftercare..... this is something you can't get your heads around and spend decades arguing over.....
And yet, kids can have their birthday parties on firing ranges, and own a gun from a ridiculously early age. Mass killings take place in school playgrounds as an almost everyday occurrence and nobody bats an eyelid except the bereaved families, many who support the right to carry firearms until it's their kids who end up dead. And according to one of the most influential organisations in the country (the NRA) the answer to people getting killed in shootings is more gun ownership..!!
Do you not consider that a rather odd set of priorities..?
Your hyperbole will detract from the argument.
Those on the street fighting abortion probably don't want any lives to end.
Those in the chambers and on the hill are "Fighting the good fight" with other people's good money.
And if you follow the money, there is no dichotomy.
Or you could put a cynical spin on it:
Every abortion means one less gun owner
One less ER patient
One less casket sold
