If you are one of the people who believes that unborn child lives are worth the same as adult lives, then you should be 200 times more concerned about abortion than gun violence. 1: https://wisqars.cdc.gov/fatal-reports https://wisqars.cdc.gov/fatal-reports 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_statistics_in_the_United_States#/media/File:U.S._abortions_and_abortion_ratios,_1973-2017,_Guttmacher_Institute.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_statistics_in_the_Uni...

Now that abortion is illegal in half the country, will those same conservative abortion crusaders direct their attention to saving kids from guns? Somehow I don’t think so, but I guess we will see…
- bmelton 4y agoAbortion is not now "illegal in half the country" -- it may become so, but it isn't that today and this decision didn't make it that today Moreover, guns may have outpaced automotive deaths, but they have not outpaced "accidents" writ large.
- Gordonjcp 4y ago> Moreover, guns may have outpaced automotive deaths, but they have not outpaced "accidents" writ large. How many "accidents" cause school shootings? The US is literally the only country where this happens.
- RC_ITR 4y agoThe propaganda win of the century is classifying chemical abortions (roughly half of that 800k) as abortions. It’s a pill that basically forces a woman to have a period regardless of whether there’s an embryo in the lining or not. You can only do it before an embryo even resembles a human being. And yet, it’s as at risk as anything else.
- aftbit 4y agoI didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
- Gordonjcp 4y agoRight, but that's just it - they do not care about unborn children. They care about forcing their idiotic Taliban-like views on others.
