How do you people who oppose abortion justify advocating gun ownership?
111993
Because 99.999% of the people who own guns don't use them to kill other people.  Your connection between gun ownership and murder is nonsensical.  Learn how to properly structure your arguments.  I own a gun and have never used it to murder or harm another person.

Ain't that the truth\n\n They will kill their own baby and fight for the right to have abortions done later on in the pregnancy. \n\nBut they are against the death penalty and they fight for a killers rights.

Sounds like you hate the thought of abortion just as much as I do. But, come on now.... Talking about not protecting our children that are here is just preposterous, allthough getting your point across...\nI just think that doing more to stop abortion is better than asking outlandish questions just for the sake of arguments...you are only going to outrage some and cause disputes that are not going to solve anything, whether you believe in abortion or not.\n\n\nPeace and Blessed be.

No, They are not pro life, they are really anti abortion,\nIf they were pto-life they wouldn't be executing women and incompetants in Taxes.\n\nWomen your birth control pills are next on their agenda. They say that is a form of abortion. Which it isn't. Hope you can afford LARGE families.\n\nANd yes, they don't want to be called anti-abortion. Now it is pro-life, after they just got 3,000 killed in Iraq, though I can't blame them for that. They usually have been on Bush's side regarding the war however. \n\nI am guessing they changed their name probably so they wouldn't be associated with the murder of MD's at abortion clinics and damaging or blowing them up.\n\nPeople are in favor of choice are pro-choice, not necessarily pro=abortion. I imagine the neocons would like to call them pro-death. I don't think there are a lot of people who favor abortion, they just don't want to see it dropped as an option, especially in cases of rape, sexual abuse of a child or the health of a mother's life. I have never been able to understand the rationalization for having a woman who was raped carry the rapist child to term. I think rape is terrible enough without making someone relive it daily. The same goes if the mothers life is in danger. I cannot imagine sacrificing a woman, who may have other children, who is already alive and breathing. It is beyond my comprhension how someone thinks they can make the choice that a living person, who has done nothing wrong, be given a death sentence. And they say no innocent people has been executed. What do you call that?  If they want to make the choice for themselves, go to it!\n\nOne thing is for sure, all those PRO-Lifers are still cutting programs for women, children, handicapped and elderly. Eighty (80) percent are children.\n\nFigures that they won't put their pocketbook where there mouth is.\n\nI don't use the term Pro-life myself because it is a oxy   Moron!

I do not agree with abortions.  I am totally against them.  It is killing innocent children.  What slays me is some women use it as a type of birth control.  I have two boys and both of them weren't planned but I deal with what God has dealt me.  I love both my boys and never regret the decision I have made.  I would never have an abortion.  I am not a murderer.

I think all of that is hogwash. I'm an advocate for abortion if it's for the right reasons. Do you remember anything about being concieved, or do you remember anything about being a fetus, because I sure don't. It's "preventing" life, not killing it. And i'll take that in a second, rather than another crackbaby born into a dysfunctional family with a miserable life ahead of it.

What anti abortionist want is for it to go back to the way it was. Girls will still get abortions but will end up in makeshift clinics and backroom places to get them from unqualified people. Her is a question for them, how are you going to like it when your daughter is found in a back alley bled to death with a coat hanger hanging out of them, I know it is a gross thought but it happened in the 50's just that way. I think that any governments choice to try to legislate morality is wrong and could be the downfall of that government. \n   That being said I am against using abortion as a form of birth control. It is just wrong, especially with so many alternatives that one can use. With abstention being the best. However it is a fact that girls will still get them and you won't stop it with laws.

Personally, I'm pro-choice and pro-capital punishment.\n\nAddendum to original response:\n\nTELL YA WHAT DRACULA... You swear on the lives of every family member you have (and all people like minded as you), TO GOD, that you will NO LONGER pass judgement or preach your religous hipocricy. And that you will, in turn, allow others to run their own lives and make their own choices from that moment on. Break THAT VOW and you agree to God striking down EVERY ONE YOU HAVE SWORN ON...\n\nIf you agree to those terms, then, my closed minded LITTLE "friend", I will deliver the 50% you asked for, directly into the hands of Jesus himself... \n\nThe great part to this addendum ? I am quite aware, that you are completely incapable of keeping your nose out of others lives, and of passing judgements, thus the deal is void, before the ink dries. For it is in your nature to think you have some power greater than human, to control others, like pawns on a chess board... And, oh, what a wonderful thing it is, for ther rest of us to know, that you do not have that power... \n\nAffectionately,  \nA sexy as hell pagen, pro-choice, card carrying nud ist.  :)\n\nKisses !

Actually, this is one of the oldest arguments they use to support abortion. They think kids are better off dead than imperfect.

abortion... if a democrats were against abortion, it would be a long time before a republican won anything... there are more than enough people that vote on this issue alone to turn the tide permanently to the democrats... \n\nmaybe democrats should just say they are against abortion and don't do anything about it... like the conservatives do...\n\ninterested: believe it or not... just being a liberal, it doesn't mean you hate conservatives... although by the way some conservatives act, the majority of them hate all liberals it seems... \nhe is talking more about his actions and what party they are more consistent with... and I agree that I think they are more consistent with liberals...\n\nnormobrian: can you cite those... I think I missed them in my bible...

They kill murderers, you defend them.\n\nYou kill babies, they defend them.\n\nSeems clear to me.\n\nIf you are talking about the murderers that bomb abortion clinics (your question wasn't as clear as I prefer, and I politely request a clarification for future answerers), then they should be tried, judged, and sentenced regardless of their reasons.  They have commited a crime.  If they have any ethics at all, they won't make excuses and they'll take responsibility for their actions (it might have been worth the sacrifice for them from their view).\n\nWe should never tolerate those who undermine the U.S. and try to destroy our government or defame our Presidents (Democrat or Republican, or whatever).  That includes people who commit crimes in riots and protests, sedition during wartime, and people who libel or slander our President or others.

Great Question!  Made me think...not too many here do...here we go!\n\nNOT against Abortion....feel it is every woman's right to decide!\n\nWAS against Capital punishment UNTIL I went to a site called Prison Talk Forum and read what all the woman in the United States are on Death Row for.  Obviously I was surprised that SO many where there for killing their own children......and in alot of cases not just one child...multiple children.\n\nSo when I went to answer this question....I had to stop and actually think.  Am I right in my thinking that it is OK to terminate a fetus.....BUT.....at the same time hold these woman in so much CONTEMPT.\n\nI don't have an answer to the question...my heart says kill kill kill.....those precious children didn't deserve that.....especially from their mom.  My brain says....hmmmm.

If our defense be the real object of having arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? \n\nPeople who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically 'right.' Guns ended that, and republicanism is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work.

A woman has the right over her own body, regardless of whether there is a zygote, embryo, or fetus present.  It is not a "baby," regardless of the necessity of that word for emotional appeal.\n\nLook, here's my take on things: if you are so opposed to abortions, then stop trying to make them illegal and make them unnecessary.  Work to provide better free or at least affordable health care.  Work to improve sex education for our youth.  Make birth control easily accessible and cheap.  Establish better support for women who wish to give up a child for adoption.  Provide better assistance to people of low incomes who have children.\n\nTHOSE are the major contributing factors to abortion procedures, and if you and all other anti-choice protestors are so caught up in fixing things, then FIX THOSE THINGS.  \n\nI'm pro-choice, because in our society women need to have that option.  I'd love for elective abortions to be completely unnecessary--and so I am trying to fix the problems that lead to them, rather than trying to punish women already in difficult situations by removing their rights.

No, it's like this: You let it be born, and if it turns out horribly bad you kill it.  Keep the good ones.  Kill off the bad ones.  There is no fallacy or conflict in this thinking.  Kiling a fetus is a different line of reasoning than killing a mass murderer.  You cannot equate the two.  thus, anti-abortion and pro-death penalty are not in conflict.  Two different things entirely.\n\nReligion is not above killing.  More people have been killed in religious conflicts than from any other cause.

You really are in a pickle. On one level your position seems at least consistent. Its ironic that most gun voters consider themselves pro life. I guess its all in how you look at it. Here is a link with some information that might help. Can you imagine the trouble those that are for legalizing drugs and are pro life have?

I think a few people are against abortion because they think its murder..I think,along with the majority they are wrong..
