40 years after Roe v. Wade, abortion foes march on; many looking to Kansas
You actually want people to have abortions?
Um.... sure you do. Really, we believe your on-line persona.

"I would add a few caveats. Some guns simply must be held in check by strict government control because it would be plausible for organizations to amass weaponry that could allow them to break the law with impunity. This would only come into effect with automatic weapons or higher."
Yeah, tell me about it. You don't really support the 2nd amendment after all. What other parts of the Constitution and our freedoms are you willing to provide your own little personal "caveat" for? If I owned a fully automatic weapon I wouldn't use it for evil, so why can't I have one? Nowhere in the Constitution does it say I can't. Why do you hate the Constitution?
Yes, if a fetus can survive outside the host mother on its own, then I am comfortable saying that is where the right to abortion ends. If you disagree, then that is like saying a child aged 2 or even older can be allowed to just die since it still can't take care of itself.

To be fair, I don't think rc is saying you have the right to shoot someone you've invited as a guest into your home. By having sex without birth control protection, it is similar to inviting someone into your most intimate home.

That it is a terrible comparison "either way you slice it" was the point. Taking the view offered and reversing it, which I did, still makes it a terrible comparison. That was the point! Did you actually read my entire comment?
You see, I support the right to own a gun AND the right for a woman to choose what to do with her own body, as I stated. With both, however, there are reasonable limits. That is what I was saying. Get it now, or am I being too looney for you?
Oh, and yes, many "loons," as you so elequently describe people with mental illnesses, can keep sane if they stay on their meds. Treating mental illnesses by locking people up as the only solution is no solution at all.

There is no disconnect, because owning guns with extended clips is not at all related to medical procedures.

You mean, like the hypocrisy of being against abortions but feeling it perfectly okay that people can own guns that are then used to shoot children in a classroom?
Either way you slice it, it is a terribly comparison. I am sure there are many who support women's choice and gun rights, and anti-abortionists who also oppose the 2nd amendment. I support your right to own guns, just not your right to own ALL types of guns i also support a woman's right to choose whether or not she wants to bring a pregnancy to term, yet I oppose abortions in the third trimester that aren't needed to save the life of the mother or extreme medical conditions in which the fetus will have no chance of survival.
You see rc, life isn't as black and white as you pretend it to be.

Before Obama became president, you could own guns. When he is finished, you will be able to own guns.
Not sure I see the infringement of which you write.
