What would happen if we posed this ultimatum to the pro-lifers out there? You give up your guns and we will give up the choice to have an abortion? Last night I was in a heated debate with an ignorant man who could not see that there was a difference between pro-abortion and pro-choice. So, I said to him that he should not dare take away the right of a woman to do what she will with her body, just as I will not interfere with his right to own or use a gun (that’s not to say that I wouldn’t interfere in the case of murder). You hear NRA members claim that no one will interfere with their constitutional right to own a gun, however, do they not understand that they are interfering with the implied right to privacy that is provided and defended in Roe v. Wade? What if I was to say that I had a religious problem with someone owning a gun? Would that be the same as someone saying that they have a problem with me having an abortion? Where does the slippery slope stop? Just because James Dobson, or another church leader gets a following on an issue, does that mean that the Constitution should completely be dismantled?
Just some thoughts...
