POLL: Guns or Fetuses

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Here's the deal. You can have an amendment protecting gun ownership or one protecting fetuses or neither, but not both. Which do you choose to protect? Or would you leave specific mention of guns and fetuses out of the constitution?

Note that not having an amendment doesn't mean they aren't protected by regular laws but that those laws can be changed without running afoul of specific constitutional language. So, for example, not having guns protected by a specific amendment opens the door to banning guns, but the advocates would still have to convince a majority (or more) to go along. Just like with any other law.

Pro 2nd Amendment and pro choice. No-brainer for me.

The legal difference between a fetus and a human child is wether, or not the head has been removed from the birth canal.

So, in other words, if I can fit your head back into your Mom's Vag, I can drive an Ice-Pick into your neck and it will still be an abortion.

So, I say let me keep my guns and tell your Mom to say "Ahh".
